  2. adnoxious says:

    Everyone knows you have to play hard to get when it comes to water.

    Taking aim at lousy advertising

  3. BiN4RY says:

    That isn’t water

  4. blueJade says:

    I’m seriously confused. I’ve got to stop accepting things at face value.

  5. JohnB says:

    We set up this huge fountain display and we want you to pay no attention to it whatsoever.

  6. JohnB says:

    Perhaps it is a sign designed to alert us to global warming. The glaciers are all melting and we’re not paying attention…

  7. JohnB says:

    I find myself wanting to argue with the title, since I personally have seen the unseen.

    • Jake says:

      But have you unseen the seen?

      • JohnB says:

        All the time. That is one of the benefits of aging. You can see something and promptly forget having seen it with no effort whatsoever.

        • Jake says:

          But if you have seen the unseen then the unseen has been seen and thus is no longer unseen. But if you have seen what has been seen then even through forgetting the seen is not unseen, because before it was seen it was unseen and by being seen it had become seen: An irreversable process. So even by forgetting you cannot unsee the seen.

          • JohnB says:

            But by forgetting you can become as if you never saw, which, for all practical purposes, is no different than not having seen. As far as seeing the unseen, I have seen it, but most people have not, so therefore it remains in the “unseen by most” category.

        • laconejita says:

          It is better to have seen and forgotten, then to never have seen at all.

    • toilet shark says:

      How do you know?

  8. laconejita says:

    We are warming the water, please pay no attention. Once it starts to boil, we’ll let you in.

  9. Melmo says:

    Perhaps no public bathrooms nearby?

    • keithybabes says:

      Nearer than you think. The notice is saying ‘Don’t look over the wall: there’s a urinal for midgets over there’

  10. blueeyedqueen says:

    what about the weird internal diagram in the background? I want to know the story behind that. .

  11. Droll not Troll says:

    The people at the top seem to be ignoring the water. They must be warming, up there.

  12. laconejita says:

    I was just thinking that no matter how PG rated an Engrish picture is, we always seem to turn it into something sexual.

    Why do you think that is?

  13. toilet shark says:

    There’s probably somebody with a change apron lurking in the shrubbery – if you are spotted looking at the water, they jump out and make you pay a sightseeing fee. The money is no doubt used to maintain the scenery, which thoughtless tourists wear out by vigorous looking.

  14. keithybabes says:

    Damn. I just lost the game.

  15. Brad F. says:

    Sad. That majestic looking sculpture thingy features so prominently in the photo, and yet all I could focus on was the sign and the water.

  16. Kevin says:

    Is this the set from “Forbidden Planet”?

    • JohnB says:

      No, it’s the actual forbidden planet. That’s why they don’t want you to look at the water, because then you might see the outline of the invivisble monster.

  17. dukethepcdr says:

    If they didn’t want us to pay attention to the water, why did they make the statue/monument/whatever it is into a fountain?

    • keithybabes says:

      It’s a double bluff. They WANT you to look at the water so you don’t notice when the top of the monument opens up and an ICBM comes out.

    • blueJade says:

      It’s the the old “hiding something by making it obvious” trick.

      • JohnB says:

        During WWII, military authorities asked Salvadore Dali, whom they considered an expert on visual arts, what type of camouflage to use to hide paratroopers. He suggested dressing them like harlequins.

        • paws4thot says:

          And that’s not as stupid as it sounds. If you think it is, run picture searches for “Berlin Brigade” and “dazzle camouflage”.

  18. toilet shark says:

    Hey, I could circle this monument! Where’s the sign saying “throw your ice-cream into the fountain”?

  19. Origin21 says:

    Wow! What is this monument, it looks really cool!
