Silhoutte Though I long to find out what peoples pet peeves are :D

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

LMAO!!! I think Pet Peeves would be an amusing challenge. I shall cast my vote on #9 . :)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Pet Peeve @ Nikki....LOL Picking ONLY one off this list.

cynlee posted Sun, 30 October 2005 at 3:31 PM

gonna be all over the place on this one.. working with an image in negative/solarization i thought would be interesting.. Solarization: "Reversal or partial reversal of tones in a photographic image caused by vast amounts of over-exposure. It is often inaccurately used to describe the partial reversal effect caused by fogging photographic material with light, which is actually the Sabattier effect." Not quite the same as a negative image but similiar in the final look, much like a infrared image some background information of the process: history of more history of som examples (nudity) more examples (slideshow) solarization using PhotoShop

make it number (5 natural fractuals...:)..:))) but will go with the flow....:)

Akinom posted Sun, 30 October 2005 at 4:30 PM

Haha... pet peeves! Hard to choose just two from all the stuff we all could come up with LOL
@Nikki... yep, you're right, they grow with age! Yesterday I found a saying on someone's t-shirt, very fitting to this " Every day I'm living the list of those who can kiss my ass gets longer!" LMAO
Anyway, me thinks, I'd go for #8 Alphabet Soup
