It’s interesting searching this image, because you get different results everywhere.
The alleged artist on some sites titled it “An Offering for the Old Man”, not naming the creature, but I’ve seen it called Cthulhu or the Kraken… or the link is wrong and leads to a different image of either of those.
(A ridiculous number of results in image search show one picture but when you click them, take you to another.)
At least three sites said it was a 19th century engraving of one or the other… which is funny because the young fellow, to me, is pretty obviously wearing modern athletic shoes, and possibly a fleece jacket.
And especially funny if it’s called a 19th century Cthulhu, because HP Lovecraft dreamt him up well into the 20th century… I think the 1920s.
Speaking of which, Lovecraft’s own drawing of Cthulhu seems much more humanoid than the way he’s usually drawn.
We all see the movement…but! We all know it really isn’t moving. Love it! (Don’t believe me? Hold a ruler or something straight up to one of the stacks…it stops moving.)
Is this, or has this been, underwater?
If so, what put it there, and why has it been brought back topside?
If not, why put it on display looking like this? Shouldn’t you have at least cleaned off the grease and the grime by now?
It would seem, at first, to be a silly question…. If there are X number of bees, there should be X×6 knees.
But if we’re talking about these bees… they don’t seem to have 6 legs… They only have 4.
And further, they’re sufficiently anthropomorphized, that I’m not even sure they have 4 knees each… One could say they each have 2 knees and two elbows.
Sorry… I can’t give you an answer till we settle these questions.
If you stare at it long enough, they hide, pop up out of flowers, and move around to different locations.
However, I may or may not have pinned them down.

Mary had a little lamb.
Her doctor was surprised.
Mary had a little lamb,
The Midwife fainted!
Mary had a little lamb
a little beef, a little ham
a great big soda topped with fizz
now how sick our Mary is.
Mary had a little lamb,
Her father shot it dead!
And now it goes to school with her,
Between two bits of bread!
.
Mary had a little lamb,
She tied it to a pylon,
Ten Thousand volts shot up its bum,
And turned its wool to Nylon!
.
Mary had a little lamb,
It had a sooty foot,
And everywhere that Mary went,
Its sooty foot it put.
.
Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a Bear,
I’ve often seen her little lamb,
But I’ve never seen her bear….
Looks like Jerry Mathers.

Y’know. He just needs to be shown a little kindness for once.
Please go back to sleep.
Did he just leave a dingleberry there…‽
I thought that too, then I realized the human was piling rocks.
On some sites this is titled “An Offering for the Old Man.”

I think this is the blue-eyed border collie from the other day.
When they’re after a ball, you don’t get in their way.
Just like when they tell a sheep to move… there’s no choosing what to do.

I’d think he’d be holding a glass to the wall.
Maybe he’s too young to know that trick.
I think he’s mimicking his sister.
There’s no door…
Well, yeah… I think that’s the point.
But I’d still think he’d want to eavesdrop, and she’s trying to be quiet.
He doesn’t dare stick his head around the corner.
Speaking from experience as an older sister?
Absolutely.
Our only phone was also in the hall.
I never got “romantic” calls from boys (sniffle)…. I was the type who did my chemistry homework on the phone with boys. (i.e: a dork)
But lots of boys. All my buddies.
I forgot to say… the cover artist was George Hughes.

My day to dough nuthin!
Somewhere, Homer Simpson is weeping with joy.
I guess I’ve been confused. I thought every day was National Doughnut Day! Bummer!

Cute, but they must have put something on the TV screen by way of scent that would make the dog want to lick it.
Yeah… I don’t think dogs are that visual.
You don’t see them waving at their friends from 10 feet away… they identify them from the other end, with their noses.

The hell you say!
I don’t wish to accuse the source of this image of prevarication, but the included images are moving for me.
I was thinking about saying something in the same vein, but I see that I don’t have to accuse anybody of anything, cos it’s been taken care of.
I’ll just sit here quietly and stare at the obviously moving image.
It’s sad about nighthawks, though.
I used to think he was so honest.

Yup. That’s pretty much what they looked like!

If so, what put it there, and why has it been brought back topside?

Here’s a pretty good summary of what happened to this unterseeboot.
Great video … thanks.

The ad is trying to dance around the fact that their products are very expensive.
how many bees do you see?
And then, how many bee’s knees?
It would seem, at first, to be a silly question…. If there are X number of bees, there should be X×6 knees.
But if we’re talking about these bees… they don’t seem to have 6 legs… They only have 4.

sorry, this should have been my first post–
Love the animation over the closing credits for animation no. 1 above. 😅
Reminds me of the Johnny Castaway screen saver.
Aren’t they the same??
Berlin, 3rd August 1960. A rare view of the Checkpoint Charlie location before the Berlin Wall was erected.
Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris).
Okay, who’s been painting birds again?
Baby Bunting?
