Now I understand what NJ and OR are for. But I'm a little bit nervous about MA.

Let me guess:

NJ -- where pullovers are designed
OR -- where they grow a herb for pizzas
MA -- where there are a large number of dentures

And in a similar vein, does anyone know the largest London Borough?
Wapping
Actually it's Bromley, but that's not funny

I still haven't figured out who misspelled Euston. Guess, you're a bit biased ...

This is certainly lame all right, but I don't see that it also qualifies as a joke.

not so much lame, rather it's a good eye strain

Is the piece standing up or laying flat on the surface?

They've had to open an extra counter this morning at the Lost & Found office. :cool:

Upper left junction is the fake one for my money. The upper diagonal bar casts a shadow on the work bench but not on the vertical piece that is apparently beneath it. So cover the top left junction to see what it really looks like.

I saw one of these in real life in a museum of illusions. The beams were about a meter long and it was just suspended in the museum space so other patrons could walk through it. Which was kind of disturbing if you were standing in the magic spot where the thing looks like Dave's mates photo.

That's the only one I really wouldn't believe. The two "diagonal" sides couldn't be lying flat on the table, but they have shadows that look to me like they are doing exactly that.

Today I was reminded of the early 1960s kids' TV cartoon show about Leonardo Lion, the King of Bongo Congo, whose wise, unflappable assistant was a skunk named... Odie Cologne.

I've been playing Minecraft with my son, and its splash screen is a good source of one-liners. Today it offered us:

sqrt(-1) love you

150% hyperbole!

Reminds me of a party my girlfriend had to take a few of us home. And of course she wasn't completely sober herself, just less than the rest of us, and of course there have also been a police control. The officer took a look into the car, saw the only girl driving and the rest so drunk, that he couldn't impossibly tell who was the most responsible for the atmosphere in the car, and he waved us by.

Lesson: Simply look according to all expectations and prejudices and everything goes fine.
