A good trainer always knows what to do!

I'm sorry. I just. don't. get it. I've stared at the gif for a long time, expecting something animated to happen. I pulled it into Imageready to see if there were any hidden frames. I looked back into your completed tasks to see if there's an inside joke to be discovered. I didn't see one.

So I don't get the joke and thus I don't get this proof. I'm not a stupid player, as I think people will attest, and nor am I a kneejerk asshold. But I'm feeling there's nothing here that warrants the comments above. What's haunting? What is CM talking about with trainers? My God, is there an interweb meme I missed?

Real Life = photoshop?

I'm with the "kneejerk asshold" on this one.

I love my fast typing. But now I find I like the term "asshold" better than "asshole." It's more descriptive of me anyway!

I have a feeling this wasn't Photoshop, I think it's a Paint job.

But still, I don't see the 8 vote-worthy praxis here.

End asshold.

I voted because it made me schnertz.

Something about the brazen photoshopped-ness just made me smile. "You'll know what to do." quite obviously means "amuse Augustus deCorbeau" -- thus my vote. =)

Y'know, it shouldn't be OK, not even as a "well, the first person to think of it can get away with it", because that doesn't make any sense for this task. Holding three eggs looks pretty funny, and the photoshopping is funny, but those aren't it either. The frozen smile is important. Looking at the two pictures next to each other is the key, I think. The task picture scientist seems to say, "hey look, I think I might've created a real-life secret egg, but you may not understand what I mean by that, and frankly, you might think this was a ridiculous project." Emma's picture says, "that's right everyone, a real life secret egg! And I expect that you know exactly what that means."

no, it's clear she's really holding the eggs--the photoshopping is just laying her pic of her holding the eggs on top of the other pic. what's not clear is that it does mean what it's supposed to mean.

I have no doubt that the professor in the task description has created secret eggs.

Yes, Sean, that is exactly what I love about her completion. Her smile suggests that the viewer already knows what a secret egg is, how fantastic it is that she has acquired three of them, and the amazing potential that the situation carries.

I don't know if Emmabean's idea of what a secret egg is, is the same as what I perceive the concept as, but she does seem completely certain that she knows what a secret egg is.

Um.. I don't know what that means....
