Signs Of Intelligent Life?
Episode #6: No Exit First aired: 02/13/06 Welcome back to Signs Of Intelligent Life?, where we display pictures of great and hilarious signs seen around the world. Support since our premier has been great, and it's clear that seeing a stick figure getting hurt is a visceral thrill for all. First up, we have two more submissions from valued contributor Emma B. We'll kick things right off with a stick figure.
Adam, that's what we'll call this particular stick gentleman. We've seen Adam before, at Alcatraz, where he was unable to keep his balance coming off the boat. In fact, he seems to be tripping over the same Lincoln Log-cheese brick-I-beam hazard in both locations. Perhaps these signs are much less a warning on maintaining balance and more on the dangers of various square-shaped obstacles that may be stalking you even now! Caution indeed! Here Adam's been caught again in mid-fall, but closer to the ground, and it looks like he never learned to skateboard or snowboard, or he'd know to fall on his shoulder. No, it looks like broken wrists for Adam, and I have to imagine that when a stick figure breaks his wrists, they just amputate and round out the stump, leaving him with freakishly short arms. You'd think Adam wouldn't be modeling for any more signs after an accident like that.
But have a click on the sign, and you'll see what's great about this sign. Yes, they serve "Mexican Food Stuffed With Fiesta". If you don't know any Spanish, allow me to translate. That means "Mexican Food Stuffed With Party". It doesn't sound nearly so enticing now, does it? I'm not sure how you stuff fiesta into food, nor do I want to know. Feel free to make any "It's like a party/fiesta in my mouth..." jokes you like though. Ah, whups, that's not the exit at all, but a submission from Drew Shelton (who first helped us out with input way back in episode two) taken at the Museum Of Science. While handmade signs may not look as pretty, they often lead to some of the funniest images. In Drew's own words: Here's a picture of the exit from the Museum of Science from our trip to the Star Wars exhibit. I think it's fairly self-explanatory. I understand that they're trying to direct people to the shuttle bus, but the fact is that this IS an exit. You can see the street and sky outside through the glass. You can never be too sure, though, so I opened it. Yep. Outside (or a very convincing imitation). And that's it for this episode of SOIL. If you find any hilarious signs of your own, snap a picture and send them in. Otherwise, join us next time when we go on another search for Signs Of Intelligent Life?.
