Lampposts Behaving Badly

The story begins, “Three anthropomorphic lampposts got drunk, and one fell down.” That’s what it looks like, at least. These lampposts are an art installation called The Way Things Are in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The lampposts are a collaboration between Waterfront Development Corporation and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.  Together they have brought the work of duo Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg to the Halifax waterfront. Hanson and Sonnenberg are graduates of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design so there is a local connection.

On weekends, the lampposts are joined by other inebriated beings on the waterfront. There are plenty more pictures of these posts at Kuriositas. -via the Presurfer

Making the lip sharper has been known about for centuries - but it's a compromise between utility and durability. Very posh non-dribbly teapots have sharp lips, but older examples are often chipped.

And here I always thought the chance of a pouring object dribbling was directly proportional to the capability of the object or material beneath said pot to become indelibly stained from the dribble.

hm,

I guess they haven't gone to yumcha recently at any of the better places... Chinese teapots nowadays often have a sharply downward pointing spout tip, removing much of the dribble, as the tea gets cut off quickly.
