OK, first person to figure out *what on earth* I've got POV-Ray to
render here will get... uh... my respect. ;-)
Perhaps not as difficult as Andrew's, but it was more or less the
reaction of some of my collegues when I put this up on a poster
session in a scientific conference (biomedical engineering and
medical physics). Well, it was a *poster* session, wasn't it?
Never had so much questions about a poster before. I normally
try to be as clear as possible.

The bits of string tied round everything seem to be isotherms or
something similar. Have the flask things been heated and then inserted
into a bowl of water?

No, you, Stefan, and Thomas have missed the 'Medical' context.
As we are all regulars in off-topic, I though this one would
have been easy.

But am I along the right lines? They are iso-somethings, right?

It's a graph of civilian casualties in Iraq! Or a prop from Thief. Or it
depicts the plot holes in films. Ah, I give up.

Yes, but... a knot?

The Association for Computational Linguistics is taking the p*ss :-)

A bit of an artistic licence ;)
Yet with some serious background. Most people use iso-thingies
because everybody else uses them. A knot surprises them enough
to start a discussion on the limitations of this representation.
This image is a (small) figure in a paper that is more or less
accepted for publication now, without the knot. Perhaps we try
to get it on the cover with.
