Random Pictures

Has your combustion been spontaneous in the past hour or so?

Anyway, I am mostly just posting some random pictures that I made a while ago on Adobe Illustrator.

Cubite Transformation
This first one is based on a random idea for a creature from a separate dimension. In this dimension, all things would be composed of cubes, and life simply reformed, resized, and combined these cubes into a form. It could be comparable to if we were able to influence and manipulate our atoms to form whatever we wish. The main difference would be that these creatures are cubes.

This second one is the profile image for the Spore profile my brother and I use. It's basically nothing more than an interesting picture. The focus of the picture is a creation I made- a mad scientist stick figure. There's a whole series of stick figure people. There are 90 or so.  Anyway, it's just a picture of the mad scientist guy being zapped by lightning with some effects around it. As I said at the beginning,  it's random.

May Your Combustion be Spontaneous

A random phrase I came up with the other day.
Doesn't that sound like a farewell? Like, may the Force be with you? The only problem is that it doesn't make any sense as to why one would prefer a spontaneous combustion to a non-spontaneous combustion.

Until the next post, which may or may not be in a few minutes, may your combustion be spontaneous!

From Dictionary.com.

Using definition 5, the word vernacular is not vernacular, even though what is vernacular is by definition vernacular.
