Wendel poses as a terracotta warrior poses beside a pit containing hundreds of
the terracotta soldiers in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi
province September 16, 2006. Wendel was briefly detained by police after
climbing into the pit and attempting to blend in with the ancient warriors of
the terracotta army. Thousands of terracotta soldiers that were buried in the
tomb of the Emperor Qinshihuang, who ruled China between 221-210 BC, are
displayed in the pit where they were discovered in 1976. [AP
