Sitting on Spider's desk is one of these. Beside it is a small placard reading 'One hundred words on your thoughts/reactions, please. Exactly.'





((OOC: And to avoid any misunderstandings, ignore the numbers. I didn't have time to remove them from the picture.

Jessica writes,

“Color by Numbers” is a purely human invention, representing science, the attempt of man to categorize and compartmentalize all known information. Here, on this numbered and labeled skull, man has tried to reduce the complexity of the human mind into twenty-five different parts. In doing so, however, the masterpiece that is a brain is lessened, for the sum of twenty-five sections cannot hope to equal the whole. One wonders if the tendency to divide and classify is pure selfishness, to bring one’s own brain down to one’s level, or if it is in fact a search for meaning in division.
