Whoa.

Seriously, JMR? I’m not sure how you figure that’s not supergross and/or NSFW.

JMR · 2013-08-07T13:55:52.000Z

Sorry about that I honestly didn’t think it was NSFW because it was a nature shot.

MattN · 2013-08-07T15:26:22.000Z

Well shit. Now I want to see it.

tomchick · 2013-08-07T15:26:33.000Z

Nature is gross. And sometimes NSFW. Although I guess it depends on where you work.

It was a picture of an ape with a big pair of nuts.

Speaking of not safe for work, for some reason the narrator on my work machine has been popping up from time to time today to read the UI on my screen to me and I can’t figure out how to make it stop. I hope it doesn’t pop up right now and say, “a picture of an ape with a big pair of nuts” in that mechanical narrator voice of hers. That would not improve my standing on the team, I am pretty sure.

I bet that sort of picture doesn’t raise eyebrows at the local zoo.

Well, maybe it raises the eyebrows of the orangutans. But you know how orangutans are.

I was about to call bullshit on the giraffe until I realized there’s a spoon inside it.

I suspect that Winni was harder to do that the sculptures. The precision involved looks incredible.

It looks like it may be a couple of cinnamon sticks, straws/stirrers, or pirouette-type cookies in there.

Even Neo knows there is no spoon.

What kind of monster would actually drink that latte?

He’s going to get a nasty letter from Disney for that Pooh one.

Its so nice to see that image getting attention. I’ve had a copy of that hanging up in my office (its about 6 feet tall) for a few years now. Its awesome, and I still see new stuff in it every time I look at it.

metaphaze · 2013-08-14T11:29:46.000Z

Do you know where one might get a copy?

nKoan · 2013-08-14T11:51:21.000Z

I found it at a Barnes and Noble in a bargain bin, personally.

Searched the title on Amazon, and seems out of stock.

B&N doesn’t have it online either, but claims stores may have it.

The Wall Chart of World History is similarly awesome. My dad and I used to go through it when I was a kid and find the narratives of various civilizations.
