Day 16

Can I just say that my use of thought bubbles for the first two ancestors is based on research no more thorough than a five second consultation with my own sense of what felt right in terms of vocal development. The use of the Latin alphabet throughout, however, is historically accurate.

Day 15

I completely forgot about the comma so had to hastily add it as graffiti, but I don't think it looks too bad.

Day 14

Day 13

On the front it says 'back', so you have to be careful not to put it on back to front.

Day 12

You won't believe how long I had to wait for the right word to randomly form in the smoke.

Day 11

Did you see Stargazing LIVE on the BBC last week? As someone whose fascination with astronomy is tethered by ignorance, I found it thoroughly enjoyable. It answered some of the questions I raised in a previous post, including confirmation that the fuzzy blob I was confused about is indeed the Andromeda galaxy (well done barriejohn), some 2.5 million light years away and yet visible with the naked eye. Mind blown? Check.

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to illustrate something as short as paces by using the vast distances between stars.

Day 10

I toyed with the idea of making today's word almost impossible to read. Would you object to a few 'challenging' posts? Perhaps with a cheat option if you're stumped?
