First Bible Dip

I open The art of looking sideways to page 176. There I found a collection of stones. All of these stones were of different shapes and sizes. They were primarilly dark in color. Each of them naturally had lines curves and angles on there surface that were made of a white stone that mixed in with the darker type of stone when each peice was formed.

I've always been interested in stones. I often find myself looking down when I pass by an area with stone. You can often find interesting stones like these or brigtly colored stones with a simple glance over your surrounding. The interesting ones seem to stick out from the normal ones around them Just like the white lines on these stones.

The contrast of the lines on these rocks made me think of something interesting. Could it be possible that an early human saw a stone similar to these and inspired them to draw the first line.

The Egg-speriment must go on

Two days after I chose my egg, it became resistant to my experiments and it chose to take a two foot plunge out of my refrigerator.





It's selfish act would not hinder me though. I consulted the services of a necromancer in order to retrieve it's soul and place it in the body of another.
(I actually just asked Beth if I could replace it with another.)


When I got my egg I started to think of what I could do with it. I though on it till I was thoroughly confused. An egg was an odd thing to work with. So that is what I decided to do. Something odd and confusing. I figured that there were plenty of bizarre things to do with an egg if I left it someplace. Just finding a random egg in the middle of September is odd enough so I figured that it should be easy enough to make it even more strange. I consulted the voices in my head and this is what we came up with.

I first chose to write crazy and conflicting messages on my egg.



Then I selected a public place to display my egg....
The benches behind the IT building



And stood it on it's end.
And no there is no glue or digital trickery involved.

Then I took a bunch of pictures because it was fun.
Also I can.t turn down great exterior lighting conditions.







Then I left my egg to fend for itself.



Hopefully at least one observant person passes by before it falls. It fell into the flower beg once during shooting but didn't break. I hope whoever finds it enjoys is and finds it interesting.
