Clever Vandalism by GYØ Daryl, Tøm, Adam, GYØ Ben
February 10th, 2008 2:03 PMI have never actually ever seen any clever vandalism in my life, well not clever in the normal sense of the word. Most people who perpetrate this can hardly even write their own name let alone Pi or "Dulce et Decorum Est".

So true. So true. He was mocking his superiors, of course.
I was just testing you.
1. But that _is_ the state of the US economy, I assure you, at least the past few months.
2. Yay for fibonacci!
3. When I was in high school we went on a binge of marking Pascal's Triangle all over the school, on glass with dry-erase markers, on papers pinned up everywhere, in chalk on the walkway between our two buildings. Then one day a friend and I went out and chalked it in 2 foot high numbers on the school parking lot. We'd done about 6 rows when the principal came out and told us to stop and clean it up because graduation was that weekend and what was he going to say to the parents and a lot of them would probably presume it was something Satanic. Yes, I know it's math, he said, but the parents won't know. The friend who was helping me says if had just been her he would have suspended her, but I was a good student so he just made us wash it off.
Anyway, I celebrate your choices of graffiti.
Horace! I knew it was frikken Horace!
God I was trying to remember it for ages. Owen's poem was meant to be sarcastic if I am right.
It is a good line to quote at people because they seem impressed.
Funny you mention it. There is a prolific tagger in SF. Their tag is the pi symbol. The most amusing graffiti I've seen was when someone crossed out the symbol (in the style of normal pissing contests amongst taggers) and wrote 3.14 up on the wall. I was quite amused. Maybe if I have a second I'll send post an image of a pi tag.
And it's also worth looking into Sassoon, whose work is less scathing than Owen's - which sometimes works for him and sometimes not.
There's a Pi Tag on the back wall behind the old hospital in the Presedio here in San Francisco:
Awesome! I wonder if there's any more intelligent graffiti anywhere...
Noones figured out the secret message yet then?
I wish I'd been there.
I could have told you that:
Yes, it's Pearson's good old Product Moment Correlation Coefficient.
I'll try drawing it in B'mouth...
Even we didn't have enough chalk for THAT.
Noones figured out the secret message yet then?"Drink more Ovaltine"!?!?
Think WAY more suoivbo than that, Augustus.
What "Doorhenge research for sfzero"?
Not sfzero, SFZEROSAT. It's a task.
Now why it needs doorhenge research I don't know.
vote for the math
.....should have thrown some good old fashion Orwell "1984" quotes in there, only because I love Orwell
i love the description of parliament. that is the last thing i would expect to see graffiti'd.
But Owen was quoting Horace, so it isn't even his line at all!
(And besides, he didn't actually think it was dulce or decorum.)
