I've tried looking at this a couple of times but find it does weird things to my head - which might mean that it is hitting the mark. But anyway, truth is I want to check out the Word Ver activity. And yes - there is a door (painted in a kind of 'distressed' dove-grey) with number 18 on it. And the word, as far as I can read it, says uwhoer. Which really does beg the question, Where?

No but really, yes, aren't those doors just brilliant? I mean, I am not a fan of what's happened to the comment rooms (I've a feeling I've mentioned this) or how the word ver font went all retarded and horrible – but the pictorial word ver is just awesome.

Could this be extended, somehow? I mean, they could start having (alongside the numbered door) another picture, perhaps. I foresee us writing truly interesting things (to prove we are not robots, what-what), like, say, "a blue donkey playing a violin above a Baltic village, before WW2" (yes, utilising great works of art here, willy-nilly) or, I don't know, something.

But, for once, modern times and change does not feel altogether awful. Result, dear Schwesterlein, as A Very Certain Someone was so fond of saying, ja?

I get the numbers but not the other interesting details that you seem to. Why not?

wtf - now I get something very weird - a word ver plus some enigmatic picture of something (?) next to a door frame - no number!

Right - just kept pressing publish to see a variety of others. Number 15 now - with the hint of wooden blinds (just like my IKEA ones) at the side. But will all number 15s be this, or are there several?

By my research, there are unlimited amounts of pictures. I have yet to see two of the same.

Oh, the excitement of these our times is almost too much for me to bear.
