You're right! "Frankenswine" is a book!
Damn, now I know why I couldn't get it into the DVD slot.

Kitten's "Army of Duckness", on the other hand is a flick, of sorts anyway...

I stand corrected, but will use my shiny new Unnatural Selector to protect myself!

WHAT???

Egads, clump clump!

It's a Victorian ray blunderbus made by Weta in NZ.

Somewhat back on topic but no choclate:

Road sign near our house where the carriageway is completely blocked: 'Road closed. Drive slow.'

street sign i saw Slow Children Ahead...Not very nice they cant help a bad education

A Kit Kat is a Biscuit

I saw a "Life stock on road ahead" sign at a clearing sale on the weekend. Conjured up an image of Mario style 1Up life mushroom appearing along the road as you drive along!

Heavy Plant Crossing

Also the silent sickrooms in 'Quiet hospital ahead'

We have games to break the drives through the country side, like the kangaroo warning sign become 'Look out for Qantas', the wiggly line with the arrowhead to indicate winding roads becomes 'pointy headed snakes ahead' with the speed being the number of snakes.

I always find that sign that warns Wildlife crossing next 15 ks. how does the wildlife know to cross at that exact point of the highway

"Falling Rocks Don't Stop"

Is that a warning or a law of Physics?

Council sign near my local village pond: "Caution ducks crossing" - conjures up all sorts of political headlines, that one.

"Police slow." You're telling me. Three hours it took, when those yobs broke my window ..

On a similar vein, "Slow School Children"--but you get more points for hitting a fast one?

I love that one. Triffids. Foul things.

I read a book when I was a wee laddie ("The Mystery of Mariners Reach") which began with the group of kid heroes playing a game where they had to take any sign literally. A door with a bell and sign which said "Please Ring" thereby had to be rung, and so forth.

I've played Knock and Run myself many years ago, but it would be kind of fun to walk around taking signs literally - if you saw a don't walk sign you'd have to hop until you saw a walk sign; I've often envisaged myself next to the emergency door in Coles ("This Door is Alarmed") calming it down with some soothing words.

Of course the best way to soothe a door would be to walk through it--"Thank you for making a simple door very happy."

I love it! I'd be delighted to see someone calming a door.

It all stops working when you arrive at the lift, though................
