I split this off the other thread...
A few days ago on Slashdot I saw a link to a site which had a mass of early Soviet sci-fi posters and book covers: Retro-Future: to the Stars!. The same site had a collection of "Outrageous Signs," where I found my new avatar image. It speaks to me.
I also printed out a copy at work and pasted it above the backup tape jukeboxes.

I really does mean don't be noisy. But something about the words "do not scream" grabbed me by the brain stem. I'm not sure there's anything to get.cdm2003 wrote:Ok...I know I'm going to be the first here to say "I just don't get it." I'm assuming it's one of those bad lost-in-translation episodes? What does the sign really say?
