Same Bones In The Sand, New Angle

Today I'm doing something unusual. I'm deliberately twisting someone's picture around and taking it out of context.

You mean, 'twisting someone's WORDS around and taking THEM out of context.'

No, Shelob, I meant what I said. Are you stuck in aphorism correction mode?

Possibly. Diagnostics beginning.

Yeah, okay; you do that. So Herr D made this picture over a year ago, but he had it turned clockwise from this way.

Herr D titled this one 'Atlantean Citizen' in its original form. Volcanoes! What can you do, right?--Hairy Deewon.

Yeah. Dousing both ambassadors with ink in the middle of them declaring war was only so helpful. After they stopped laughing at our representative, they still fought it. Over a billion dead per side. Gramps reportedly never emerged from his depression. We just don't understand war.

So, study it or new topic?

[translates to startled exclamation] --I'm getting counseling from my AI. I'm going for a swim, Shelob. Thanks. [swims out]
