10/10. The one's I had to think about and zoom in on was the rocket image and Mt. Fuji to a lesser extent.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

9/10. Stuffed the aurora one.

The inconsistent reflections in the AI image where the alarm bells for me.

The inconsistent reflections in the AI image where the alarm bells for me.

Mm
..whether I liked the little pink bits on the reflection more...hard to say. The others...I cpuld find something to prove against way easier.

Not song related but something to pass the time anyway. Spot the Real vs AI image. I'm sure there are music inspired quiz's as well.

Fun idea! The real vs AI challenge is always trickier than it looks — some of those details can be sneaky. A music-themed quiz would be brilliant too, imagine trying to guess whether a lyric was written by a human or generated by AI… now that would test our ears as much as our eyes!

9/10, I got the frog one wrong.

 

[spudmaster]

****ing robbed, how can people not appreciate the lyrical genius of:

"My heart was open like an open book, and yours is closed"
"We were like a merry-go-round, going around in circles"
"You weren't telling the truth, you were telling lies"
"Get on the phone and talk to me"

Glad your noms finally got the recognition they deserved.
If you need some protection, you know the drill.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Spud, where is Tubbs and what have you done with him???

He can't have it easy all the time.

Yeah it was a great win!

It will be fun - feels a bit like ‘old guard’ v ‘young pretenders’ . I hope Caruana gets it because he comes across really well on his podcast.

Dogs are unusually robust I find...always interested in the origins of these sayings.

Ps. Sorry you aren't well! Hope you are better soon!

The phrase "sick as a dog" originated in the early 1700s, with the first recorded use in 1705, reflecting a time when dogs were often viewed negatively and associated with illness and unpleasantness. During this period, dogs were not the beloved pets of today; they were often seen as street animals that frequently contracted and spread diseases. The expression highlights the perception that dogs often displayed obvious signs of sickness, such as vomiting. .

• Linguistic association: At the time, "dog" was frequently used in phrases to describe negative things, such as "in the doghouse" or "go to the dogs," which further contributed to the association of dogs with unpleasantness.

Have you heard the phrase "Sick as a dog"?

I’ve been sitting at home with a nasty case of the flu, or something along those lines. You know all the lovely symptoms you get when you have the flu… For me, it’s been a really bad sore throat, body aches and this cou...
