    I was in Vancouver a few weeks back and stumbled upon this sign while I was standing on the deck of a ferry. What does that weird picture mean? A few thoughts:

    For eskimos on the move. This is the igloo embark/disembark zone. Please make sure your igloo door is securely closed before being attached to the crane.

    Hang up your hat on the given hook before embarking.

    While embarking beware of UFOs shooting lazer beams. 

    Meanwhile in other transport news...

    The makers behind "Beijing Taxi" <北京出租车>, being Li Qiao, Wang Xiao Meng, and Montague Fendt, have launched the official site for their film at www.beijingtaxithemovie.com. Site is just the basics for now, but contains some nice teaser stills. I hear in the traps that the trailer is going to be out soon. Also, the Australian indie horror "Watch Me", which I produced and act in, has been picked up for US DVD distribution by Maxim Media - should be on American shelves mid-year.

    One of the more serious moments in "Beijing Taxi"

    Aha! So that's what life rafts look like these days - sheesh, where have I been! Thanks for the heads up.

    it looks like its a station for getting into life rafts which are lowered into the water by boom arms...  nowadays for colder climates they use these fancy life rafts which have roofs and like those dome tents...

    so while it fails the fundamental test of universal understanding,  it actually has some connection to reality. :-D
