So you think it's a machine for washing aquariums? Really?

I think it's a real live pac-man...Built by the government to catch protesters....Any time there's a protest they cut loose a few dozen of these that go around chomping until they catch a protester and transport them back to the station...that's what I think...of course I could be wrong..

The man who follows the crowd:- reminded me of a story I heard about a man who steps out of his front door just as a crowd of people were running towards him,he got caught up in the panic and started running as well, After a while he asked a chap at his side why everyone was running, he said that a lion had escaped from the zoo and he asked where it was, and the chap replied we're not f***ing chasing it.

That's not professor X. It is Number 2 of The Prisoner in his control room having what looks like a cup of tea.

Be seeing you.

It's a washing machine. It's called Aquarium. Designed by Djordje-Zivanovic.

No I didn't Google it. I right clicked on the pic "save as"...then made an educated guess.

The "could be"s were much better than the "actually is".

An exercise in design for design's sake. Form hampers function....and ugly!
