mind your head
when you see a sign like this you want to look up and see what the danger is thus risking the danger they warn you against.
they should ban such signs for safety reasons
carved door
this door looked so real you could climb through it. but it was just a carving in an old tree. some little people weren’t convinced and thought it was just locked.
charred remains
after the fire i suppose

it just gets better and better. the costumes get more elaborate but the same broken spirit remains within them.
i’ve even started a new category for this.

windmill – the bread power dispenser
do you know the secret about windmills ? well, if you promise not to tell anyone, i’ll explain …
early settlers in the england realised to their horror the pure energy that is released when you crush wheat. crushing the germ generates incredible heat which needs to be dispersed otherwise there’s a risk of injury, death or even someone hurting themselves.
so how do you get rid of such energy and split the wheat germ in a controlled manner ? well, if you live near a river you crush it near water and let the water’s coolness take away the heat.
but what if you live up a hill ?
in this case they crushed the wheat between two heavy stones. the two stones would lift slightly with each explosion thus converting the chemical energy in to heat energy in to kinetic energy. small graduations in the stone would cause it to rotate and turn giant drive shafts connected to windmill wings.
the wings would turn and cause great winds to move across the earth, thus dispersing the wheat power effectively. and that is precisely why windmills are placed on hills – it’s the safest place to blow wind from.
the sad pie man
why does this chap look so sad ? it’s because he can’t reach the pie by his feet.

the campaign trail
i’m proud to say i haven’t mentioned next week’s election on funkypancake and i plan not to either (d’oh).
here was a bus parked in paddington station. i’ll be interested in how much politics i come in to contact with in the next week (other than the usual media – papers/posters/leaflets/telly etc).
here’s a labour van at paddington station.
bus driver: “polling station ? i thought you said paddington station”
