Braille Fail

“This group is for pictures of Braille signs in public places that fail to convey the meaning they were perhaps intended to display, because they are inappropriately placed or for any other reason.

If you’ve ever noticed Braille signage and wondered…

… how exactly do blind people find the messages on the toilet doors? And once inside, how do they navigate to the facilities?

… how can the blind person read the sign for the priority seating — which is located BEHIND the priority seating — without feeling the young woman’s breasts?

then this is the group for you!”

There’s nothing there yet, but I’ve got a few candidates lined up.

Movember

The Mind-beggaring Mysteries. In the first fifteen minutes of each episode: one or more murders are committed; the central characters are introduced; the characters’ relationships are described; character movements,  significant locations and a timeline are established; evidence is collected; suspects are interviewed; and the crime is solved. The remaining hour-and-a-half is occupied by the detective explaining the reasoning behind the solution.

Reading back through an old notebook I found these three words…

Androids without context.

Answers on the back of a postcard, please.

The Burn Out Mysteries. Emotionally pulped by a career spent wading through psychopathic carnage, the detective takes permanent stress leave and hides behind a fortress of locks, peeking out pensively at a world of hate through barely parted venetian blinds. Starring John Nettles.

Straight-to-Torrent.

When it comes to murder stories, many people adopt the heuristic that  the person least likeliest to have done it is the one who did it.

B has developed a new heuristic: the person who didn’t do it is the one who did it.

Someone has taken one of my Creepy Magnetic Poems, turned it into a video, and used their relationship as the audio.

The vision never changes.
