No this isn't an example of someone gone wild with Photoshop. Australian artist Jeremy Parnell crafted this piece, which he calls 'Big Chook', from fiberglas and high gloss epoxy marine paint. It was on display on Tamarama Beach in Sydney. (via)
I like it and I'm waiting to see if he'll come up with something scrambled.

JUST ANOTHER TRADE...

SOUNDING THE ALARM
Yesterday, the company which services our fire sprinkler apparatus at Cornerstone came by for a five-year inspection and system test. Before testing the alarm they asked one of the people who works in our office to call the alarm monitoring company to inform them of the testing.
Very very shortly after the testing began we heard sirens coming down the street and cars with volunteer firefighters started converging in our parking lot (those guys are fast -- many beating the engine).
Our office person had goofed and called the burglar alarm monitoring company instead of the fire alarm monitoring company.
Fortunately, the firefighters all took it in stride. The captain came in and finished checking off the items on our annual inspection, saying, "You were on our list for today anyway."
There is still some common sense and understanding in government.
