Thumbs up !

On June 7th 2009 and the few days that followed, it was funny to walk around town and look at people's thumbs, trying to find out who voted.
In order to limit corruption, everyone who voted had to cover their thumbs with semi-permanent ink!
Every lebanese has an excuse to have a dirty thumb this week !

Non smoking flight ?

While on the lookout for my earlier post about no smoking signs, i came across this bathroom door on the Air France plane. Puzzling ! On the top you can see a no smoking sign, and on the bottom a sign that indicates where to put off your cigarettes !Can we choose which one to follow if both of them are valid ?

No smoking signs

It's only recently that i noticed the huge variety of no smoking signs !
Since the message was conveyed quickly from the sign, i didn't stop to look at each detail : the form of the cigarette,its position and direction, the representation of flames...


So, even if the cigarette is represented by a simple rectangle, hollow or filed, red or black, thin or thick, a cylinder pointed to the left or the right, the flames being represented through two lines or three or even in curves, even if the red circles isn't always used, the message is always there.
