This is thoroughly charming. My thought bubbles frequently do strange things, but never quite like this. But the next time they envelop my head, I’m making them melt into a puddle at my feet that I can jump and splash in!

Dear Fork,

I understand that we haven’t spoken since I ran away with the dish, but I thought you should know that you have a son. His name is spork. He has your hair.

Sincerely,
Spoon

created by Pieke Bergmans

These light blubs (not bulbs!) bring joy to my life. I also enjoy the sound effects they inspire in my head. And yes, they do take the form of blubs and glubs.

You can’t blub and glub without having a corresponding collapse in your body (just like the light blubs).

According to artist Pieke Berman, a light blub “is a light bulb that has gone way out of line.” This is behavior “you wouldn’t expect from such well behaving and reliable little products. Nevertheless, they seem to be enjoying their new free existences.”

This makes me grin. I like to grin.

Really though. His expression! The color splash amidst the grey! Heck yes.

 

Much more at his Flickr!

I’m chuckling rather loudly considering I’m in a public space…

(I know I’ve been out of the physics/math realm for far too long considering how long it took me to laugh at the last one.)
