I just realised that this is not a painting by René Magritte

  It’s a digital image of a painting!

  (Six, if you fold the pages back.)

    … or a web link to the digital image … but, a link is a pipe, so … Ceci est une pipe !

  The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!

  This one took me a minute. But yes, it's not. Don't linger on that thought too long, though. The words that you read right now... are those my words?

    Am I the one writing this comment or the one reading it?

      If you immediately know that the caldlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

  I love the (currently one) down vote on your post. Clearly not a connoisseur of René’s work.

  Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!

  Nicely done.

    Agreed. OP did well.

    And it’s an opportunity for me to re-post this seminal picture (or, one instance of it):

      Also an excuse to post my favourite Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.

  It really isn’t, because this is what I see:

  If you use Jerboa, don’t be fooled, the image I uploaded isn’t actually broken. This is just what broken images look like.
