Luke said...: Ok...so do you "not get what the picture has to do with the post", or do you get what it has to do with it, but just think it's a bad choice of a picture?; October 17, 2007 2:39 PM
Anonymous said...: I get it now. Before I didn't look at it closely enough. But I think it's kind of a lousy picture, because you have to look for it to see that...and there are so many other things in the picture to draw the eye ...

Luke said...: That's exactly what makes it such a good picture. It's so wrong, but yet it looks so normal at first. Just like the sentences I wrote. At first blush, they seem fine...and then you think about them...; October 17, 2007 2:54 PM
