Just a warning, if you get offended by sexual terminology, possible sexual images in paintings or are in a Not-Safe-For-Work environment, don’t read any more of this post. This is just humorous post after all as well.

ugh…. Some things just make me want to bang my head on a nice hard desk or something. On digg, there was this article about “hidden messages and images” in artwork. There are actually people who sit around all day, holding up mirrors to Da Vinci’s artwork trying to find hidden meaning and messages.

The three examples posted there are such a stretch it isn’t even funny. I love the Darth Vader look-alike that they “found” in the first painting.

The next one I wanna rant about is of John the Baptist. Here is the original painting of John the Baptist for reference, and the mirrored image without annotations of Adam and Eve in ‘coitus’. For Gods sake just say ’sex’ people, if someone gets offended, hit them upside the head; yet another thing that makes me wanna bang my head on something.

This image that follows I annotated with my own comments. Please enjoy and click for a larger version.

I’m pretty sure if Da Vinci was trying to hide a message about reproduction in the Garden of Eden, he would have at least gotten some anatomy done correctly. They aren’t even having sex the right way if the purpose was reproduction. If anything this mirrored image just looks like some freaked out alien creature with four legs and a thin body.

Just because Da Vinci wrote notes to himself using a mirror doesn’t mean every single thing he did needs a mirror held up to it. Unless someone can definitively proove otherwise, these are just silly coincidences.

I guess all I really gotta say is that artists back in that time weren’t hiding messages in their paintings, especially stuff so pervse like this Adam and Eve one. Da Vinci did a ton of work in his time, did many things. He wasn’t even all that into doing paintings, so why would he take time to add messages to them? He was an inventor and scientist at heart and did paintings as a side thing.

I think the only thing worse than this are people who think the Da Vinci Code was based on reality.

Just doing a quick post saying we’re both still here. Just hit a rut with things to post about. Bren is sick again and I’ve also been very busy as well… again. ugh We’ll get to posting more frequently again soon.

In the mean time, here is a kangaroo playing with itself in the background while a man is being interviewed.

Feel better soon bren. <3

Every ‘man’ has his thing that only he can do, or he does diligently and with more effort than anything else. Some guys can be the only one to touch the turkey at Thanksgiving dinner with the carving of it. Call it tradition or whatever you want.

Mine must be outdoor Christmas lights. Finally got started on it today. Gotta run wires, setup timers, setup little fake trees and light up the real ones. Got a bit done but got a bunch more to do.

One thing I’m not fond of are the inflatable things, not on my lawn anyway. I prefer white lights, maybe some dedicated red or blue strands here and there and all trees. Especially around the pond, I don’t want any of that extra stuff. Just white christmas lights on the trees so it reflects on the water and hopefully ice.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate those other decorations. I just don’t want them around my pond. Near the house I get a couple plastic things and some more color. I’m not going for this piece of work here that is a nearby house, click the image for a full panorama.

I wouldn’t mind doing this though, I think it would look great around the whole pond with different sized trees going…

I haven’t been up to much lately. Well nothing exciting and worth posting about anyways. I feel like I am in Limbo here with the blog and even commenting on other people’s blogs too. It’s just one of those ruts you get into every once in a while, and I’ll (hopefully) get back to normal soon.

I finally decided that today is the day I’ll order my new tablet for painting. I miss it too much now. Traditional is okay, but I’m not a drawer. I’m too messy and I don’t have enough patience for it. I’m much more comfortable with digital and decided I’m going to stick with that instead. I guess drawing with pencil is good practice, but I get bored too easily with it.

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away, with Christmas right on its heels. Speaking of Christmas…there seems to be weird changes happening lately. Like changing the name of Christmas Tree to Family Tree. Or, like in Australia, Santa is not allowed to say ‘ho ho ho’ anymore, because it might be offensive to women. He must say ‘ha ha ha’, which seems too ridiculous to me. What the hell is wrong with these people? Maybe it’s just me, and I’m not comfortable with change. I dunno. I just found it a bit too weird.

blah blah blah…

Yes I’m bored and dunno what to post…

Okay, I’ve had a brilliant idea. Instead of all these numerous safety systems we put into cars, things like seat belts, airbags, bumpers, sturdy frames and whatnot; why not replace it with explosives?

Think about it, if you knew that your car would explode if you bumped someone, wouldn’t you drive a helluva lot safer? Every sane person on earth would drive the posted speed limit, not make stupid manuevers and would follow all traffic laws.

Imagine how great car chases would be with the police as well. People thrive for chaos and destruction, so these would be extreme. The thief zooms along and eventually goes boom at the end of his joyride. Sure, it might take out a pedestrian or two, but those people probably deserved it anyway.

Movie studios wouldn’t have to pay so much money for car chase scenes either, they can just rig their cameras up to the police cars and helicopters. Cheap special effects for them and quicker movie rollouts.

So I say we petition our law makers to require cars to be fitted with high explosives. No pussy explosives, extreme stuff. Not the fake movie “fireball” explosions either, those are just gasoline burning up. A real explosion would look like this.

Viva la boom!

I would like to state this entire post is satire and meant to be funny and not taken serious. Please don’t rig up my car to explode law makers and automakers. Thank you.
