No comment. Any words I may write in praise of this edgy Paleozoic masterwork of the 2000ās could never do it justice.
We have a copy of it, and noticed a few random errors, but it is generally quite well done.

Okay - I give up. Can anybody explain the humor of the last four or so pics above to me? I mean ā¦ I guess the āstop them from evolvingā one is a bit amusing. But everything else about the above four pics just looks random and meaningless to me.

Iāll try my best to explain the humor!
So the first one I sent is a joke about the game Half Life. The creators of this game are notorious for promising a third installment and then taking a while to make it, so it was only a matter of time before somebody superimposed a reference on top of a textbook graph about the decay of elements.
The rest of the stuff is post-ironic humor, so it isnāt supposed to make much sense; the fact that the bizarre images exist, unapologetically fail to deliver the expectation of a well-structured joke despite often being presented as such, and are strange to the point of being meaningless can be funny to some people. Come to think of it, itās weirdly nihilisticā¦

The last one was the funniest to me.
The joke seems to be that while we know that muscles are what makes us move, itās usually because of anatomy and physiology and not because of some Hellbound heart escapee
chasing us down. It looks like a skinless nightmare chasing down the person, when itās just a metaphor concerning muscle movement.
I did not really get the first one and I never watched the video.

The first one is a reference to how long itās taking Valve to make the game Half Life 3, which was promised to come out soonā¦itās been 14 years now.
The video is a slideshow of Anomalocaris art from 2009 with the song āBring Me To lifeā. Itās strangely passionate.

As a big Half Life fan I thought the image was very funny. Sadly, I donāt think theyāll ever be a Half Life 3.
Valve released HL2 to show off what itās engine could do and ensure there was at least one AAA game on Steam when it launched. I donāt think they ever expected it to be so popular.
A shame really, Gordon deserves better.

Is this a painting of St. Thomas Aquinas, or is it of someone else?
