Mushrooms pictures -
Enormously big
mushrooms are growing in Spain forests this autumn. Each of the giant mushrooms may weight as much as 40 pounds and can grow as high as 3 feet tall. Scientists believe that favorable weather conditions - warm summer with plenty of rains - allowed local mushrooms to reach the record sizes without any biological mutations. The Spanish mushrooms have been receiving media coverage in the Spain as well as internationally.
Photoshop mushrooms any way you wish, or make other things shaped as mushrooms. All types of mushrooms are allowed, even "nuclear mushrooms". Change mushroom shapes, sizes, include them in paintings, make them grow in unusual places - these are just some ideas.
Bathroom Chess? pictures -
[ The chess world is in crisis. The biggest chess match in the world almost came to a halt, after one of the players (Vladimir Kramnik of Russia) was accused of taking too many bathroom breaks - over 50 per game - apparently to use a computer or other device to help him with his moves. ] Remember the scene from the God Father movie, where Al Pacino goes to the bathroom to get his gun and comes back blowing everyone's brains out? Kramnik wanted to do just this, but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger, so he had to try it 50 times. For which I applaud him, because rather than shooting his opponent, Kramnik decided to have a clean victory. And by clean I mean no brains scattered on the floor. Attaboy!
In this contest you are asked to add bathroom element into chess playing by photoshopping one of the following:
1) Photoshop Vladimir Kramnik playing chess sitting on a "potty".
2) Introduce bathroom elements to a chess championship room, so that players don't have to interrupt.
3) Design a new logo for world Chess Championship 2006.
4) Redesign the chessboard and chess figures to add miniature "potties".
P.S. Shortly after posting this contest I received the following letter: Monsieur,
I was shocked to see that the topic of your new contest invited members
to depict M. Kramnick using the toilettes. Is this really the image of
a serious website you wish to give to visitors ? Can you imagine the
chagrin of M. Kramnick's family if ever they should come on these
ineptly faked pictures ?
My recent entry, "Elmo's Potty Time", refused on spurious grounds,
tastefully showed our little furry friend in a typical French rest room,
with the mamans helping les petits. This is the sort of educational
entry you should be encouraging, rather than sordid scatological
obscenity showing "chess players" bodily functions.
