In India, some things are old and some things are very old. On the grounds of the Gandhi museum is a small government museum that houses a small collection of ancient artifacts. The statues you see in the picture above are religious icons found all over India. These are all from the region and are several hundred years old. Some are only 300 hundred years old while some are over 1000 years old! Then there's T-Rex!
Apparently no one likes this addition. The hope is that Rex will leave once the current curator moves to his next post. In the meantime, Sam and I came up with the following analogy. Best answer wins first prize.
1. Ancient Hindu artifacts are to T-Rex as __________ is to __________.
India is replete with example of incongruous items. This sign above is near the Meenakshi Temple. I'm not sure who the male image appeals to and why is the female showering?
Sam and I have many questions about the message of these pictures. Focusing on the male image, we've narrowed down our hypotheses to the following (using our amazing powers of critical thinking). Because we are professors, let's put this in the form of a multiple choice question for you, our home viewers:
Choose the phrase that bests completes the following statement:
"The male picture above means that____"
a) the male bathroom is located here.
b) the male bathroom is located here and only men who resemble the image above may use it.
c) the male bathroom is located here and any men who use it will turn into the male figure pictured above.
