I'm 12 Years Old and I Haven't Got a Clue

  Yesterday, we asked you to look at this image and tell us what you saw.

The vast majority of us saw a couple getting smoochy. 

Only the young and pure of heart saw nine dolphins. 

One precocious ten year-old saw "a lady shooting fire from her eyes".

Thankfully we don't have enough twelve year-old visitors to have got a meaningful vote, but the point of this exercise was to illustrate how our perceptions change with age and experience : particularly at puberty.

That's why we protect the innocent from exploitation.

The image was painted in 1987 by Sandro Del Prete. (There's more of his work here.)

No airline news today : time to give them a break. I haven't yet decided what the new sub-text is going to be.

I got my best search referral ever yesterday: someone from Pakistan searching for "Angela Merkel naked" - Eeeeuuuuuuw!

I'm 12 Years Old and What Is This?

Today we're going to poach on Rorschach Redemption's territory and conduct a little psychological experiment. Study the picture below carefully, then, scroll down and vote for what you see.

Round up as many family members as you can to vote so we can get a good sample size. Feedback from un-debauched youths will be particularly useful.

Polls will close around noon tomorrow. We'll publish the results then.

Vote here if you're 13 or above.	Vote here if you're 12 or below.

And here is a little something for British Airways and NooG. (NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.)

Fly the friendly skies with British Airways: a full service global airline. They offer year-round low fares with an extensive global route network. they also offer unmatched opportunities to sleep in airport terminals around the world while waiting for canceled flights. Their airline flies to and from centrally located airports without snowplowing facilities and offers snow-shoveling vacations around the world. Book flights, great value hotels and car rental, as well as check-in online, view the latest offers and "manage your booking" (a euphemism for reading news of your flight's cancellation) at ba.com

Remember, if you find a flight you want on a booking engine like Orbitz or Travelocity, you should check to see if you could drive instead.
