warrior costume is inspected by police in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi
province, September 16, 2006. A German art student tried to join a Chinese
dynasty's army, but he volunteered centuries too late. The 26-year-old man,
identified only as 'Pablo' or by his Chinese name 'Ma Lin', made a dusty brown
suit of armor, a tunic and a helmet, and attempted to blend in with the ancient
warriors of the terracotta army Xi'an. [AP Photo]
