I can see how the colors of the eggs is used to represent various parts of the bill. But what's the height of the egg stacks meant to be? Getting right down to it, why the heck does the image of the guy on the right have a huge egg tower sticking out of his ear??

(It's also kinda interesting how you can see the grid that was used to "eggitize" the image.)

Yup, down to the speckled eggs used for the background, plus a couple of ostrich eggs thrown in for good measure.

It seems to be both a bill made of eggs, and a cityscape made of eggs. Something is more likely to be art if you can combine 3 random things together instead of 2, don't you think?

I'm guessing it was built in sections for transportation.

I'm reminded of a scene from the movie Kundun about the life of the Dalai Lama. In the scene many monks have toiled over building a beautiful Mandala and a Chinese general walks through the middle of it kicking up all the sand and destroying it.

So in my mind's eye I see a Buddhist monk walking through this work of art that many Chinese have toile over and egg yolks going everywhere!

It's payback time! ;)

So, would these be "nest eggs", then?

Is that Hello Kitty floor tile?

xoxoxoBruce 03-28-2006 06:06 PM

Yes, but don't even think about it. Wolf's got a head start going for that floor.:lol:

When I look closely at our treasury notes it looks like they tried to print parts of it to have a 3-D effect. That could be the explanation for stacking some of the eggs so high. I'd wager all the eggs are hollow for sure, though. Just a whim.
