It seems weird yes but if you sit for an hour or two on the Tube everyday you have to look at something. Tube etiquette demands that you don't make eye contact with anybody :p

fantastic

most are pretty good too. i always used to see shapes in clouds, not too many of those on the underground though. does the underground still have the supersprung seating??? i can only imagine if those seats were on the NYC subway, half the lardarses wouldn't fit in between the seat arms heh

We need to do this for every city with an extensive subway system. :)

My city (Los Angeles) certainly gets excluded. :(

Thats great :)
I love the Tube, that is one of the best public transports.
The public trans. in the U.S. is very sad in comparison

Made me think of the fantastic 'Horses on the underground' article on The Day Today (http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/d/daytodaythe_66602470.shtml). I miss that series.

Good catch :) I'd totally get one of those shirts if it wasn't over 16 quid shipped...especially if it came in various colours.

Found this transcript of it....pure genius:

MORRIS: News! London Underground say they may have to close the underground system due to an infestation of horses. A report described the conditions in the equine plague as "like an abattoir in a power cut". Ted Maul reports.

TED MAUL: For years, the system of tunnels and shafts has supported a small population of wild horses without bothering the commuters. The only pest control necessary was performed by the teams of 'fluffers', who to this day still remove clots of hair from the tracks. Then in 1970 came the 'crackers', special staff who had to patrol the darkened tunnels every day and kill the horses with hammers. Now, say officials, the horses have become a menace.

STATION ANNOUNCER: Due to a large pile of horses blocking the track at Marble Arch, all services have been cancelled.

MAUL: Many drivers have become heavily traumatised. Only one today could describe the conditions.

DRIVER: Loads of horses, at least 30 I'd say. As the train approaches they start running away from the train, stampede in the opposite direction, like.

MAUL: And what the drivers fear most of all is a head-on collision with a blind tube mare!

DRIVER: Well, it's instant death. Its head comes straight through the cab window, crushes you to death. Personally, I think the management should round them up. Get rid of them.

MORRIS: And in a statement issued just ten minutes ago, the Home Secretary announced that he personally will be going into the tunnels this weekend, armed with a special gun.

That person has a very creative mind. Just wonder what could be found using the Boston Subway system?

Any keen artistic eyes here on the forum?

Hmmm, maybe it's not as easy at it sounds.

I'm impressed by your insight Doctor Q, no reason for you to be embarrassed. I think that a lot of credit is due for trying. ;)

Sorry, but the prize probably goes to UberMac. Imagine because of a more artistic view. Doctor Q is more of a mathematical view.

I hope the Boston subways move faster than this snail, complete with slimy trail. Note that I cheated by rotating the map.
