Ted's Comments

Something bogus about it. They use a tree branch as support. Except for one picture at the end, all the pictures are from above.
Sounds like a practical joke.

I saw this a couple of months ago. I thought it was on Neatorama before, too.

It may have been on a site that another Neatorama link went to, but that's iffy.

Don't be so bitter. If you broke the law, you deserved the ticket. If you want to tell the police who they should be ticketing, maybe you should become one.

If this sign isn't photoshopped, the cops probably don't mind it. It gets people to slow down at that spot.

I guess people couldn't have chairs with wheels on them, or every time they pushed away from their sloping desks, they'd roll away.

And it is spelled "storey" as in "second storey". But it can also be "story".

And if you thought that was confusing, in Italian it's spelled "piano".

Just passing by.

I see nobody bothered to thank Alex for taking the embedded flash out.

Thanks, Alex, for all of your hard work, in providing people with free entertaining stuff.

So you messed up with a link once. Big deal. Keep up the good work.

Excellent debate.
Poor Sid. You are suffering for art's sake.
I, too, don't think of the "krap" that gets put out today as equal to the classics.

I think of Picasso and Dali, who were capable of realistic work but chose another style, or the Impressionists before they invented Impressionism. They still used their technical skills, just in a different way. These days, you don't need a lot of skill, just "inspiration".

Michelangelo took years to paint the Sistine Chapel, years to create David. And Donatello's David looks a lot more homo-erotic to me, by the way. It's the helmet that accentuates his nakedness. Or maybe the way he's holding that sword.

A lot of sculpture was only designed by these greats, and completed by their apprentices. Sometimes, they can actually tell who sculpted what part.

An artist would starve today taking the attention and care required to create a piece on the scale of a Michelangelo.

And Brancusi sucks.

Also, the article's misleading. The Pope has a separate building where papal audiences are held (right next to St Peter's).

Maybe the Angel should have asked for directions.
