Full reverse into the Uncanny Valley. They succeeded, if you could call it
that.

Nope, too many hairs out of place.

I suspect that the "one way" sign should be pointing the other
direction, or be replaced by a "no entry" sign.

LOL! It didn't occur to me that my statement could be understood the
wrong way. I never doubted that it was made with PoV-Ray.

No, sorry, I correctly understood that it was the best picture you
ever seen, without distinguishing between photos or CG... but the first
reading of "be it raytraced or not" made me remember the old polemic.

A bit off topic, but this made me wonder about Gilles lack of internet
activity, so I used my searching abilities to find that he seems to be
fine, working at a French agricultural association as manager for some
project.
These kind of total internet abandonment usually scare me about what
happened to the real person behind... but in this case it seems a mere
case of a heavy RL attack, or I hope so.

Give the man a coconut!
The spire protrudes into the media for the clouds, casting a shadow
through them.
If memory serves me, Giles did not notice it until it was pointed out.

But we have still some way to go until we can take the title of "Older

I fear this about myself. If something should happen to me, will there be
anyone to let my on-line communities know?
I've seen two cases (including Steve Paget) where a community member has died,
but a friend was able to let the community know. (There was a third case where
a forum member notified me privately after the forum had disbanded.) But there
are many others where a community member seems to drop off the face of the
Earth, and no one knows what has happened to them.
