I'd like to play this game... Can this entry above fit the theme?

I think it is indeed a perfect entry for this month challenge... Why don't you post the images and the thumb here also ? But I encourage everybody to read your extensive comments in your gallery : an exquisite piece... Philippe, I'm glad you wanted to participate...there is a place for people like you in R'osity ! :~)

YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS!!! What is the "opposite" of silly in english? Clever? and the one of annoying? Oh yes, fascinating! Kisses...

oh...just to clarify, i meant to say in my response: "I hope you don't mind ME being a bit silly and perhaps annoying!!! left out an important word there! Fascinating, Watson! I will see what Webster has to say about opposites later. Hmmm... and i wonder if opposites has been a topic of discussion in any of my philosphy books....we shall see if the masters have anything to say on the subject!!!! ...still thinking on this most interesting...scratch that...fascinating subject!

still wondering how Newton's 3rd law applies :/

Oh yes... Well, as far as I remmber, this guy was a physicist, wasn't he? Physicists are about the same kind of guys than mathematicians, aren't they? I said in my text that mathematics were the exception. Maybe I should have mentionned also physics laws... Well... Is that enough? Hugzzz, pp

ah, yes! they are much the same... carry on dear pp :]

To sheila: ooppss, I missed your last one. Of course, I know you were talking about yourself... I've met a lot of silly people around me, I've got the feeling that you don't have a lot in commun with them... Something tells me you're exactly at the opposite side of this...
