Its been a while since we’ve posted a decent joke, so I figured I’d propagate this one that just got sent to me as part of a mass-mail.
Wanda’s dishwasher quit working so she called in a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check. Oh, by the way don’t worry about my dog Spike. He won’t bother you.”
“But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!”
“I MUST STRESS TO YOU: DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!”
When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.
Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled,
“Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!”
To which the parrot replied,
“Get him Spike!”
See – Men just don’t listen!

Philip K. Dick wrote a book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the movie Blade Runner is based on it in fact). Well, here’s an answer to the same question with regards to buildings:
555 KUBIK
“How it would be, if a house was dreaming”
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.
Honestly, if I didn’t know what was going on and all of a sudden a building facade came to life like that in front of me, I would probably be shitting bricks (pun.. umm.. intended I guess?). In any case, watch and enjoy, this is probably one of the few educational and non-junky posts you’re gonna see here on flipvine, but they do happen
