Posted by: Andrew at August 26, 2004 9:37 PMOh, it's a dig at that idiot in my freshman Honors seminar who, when we were debating whether "Art" could be defined, smugly responded with the answer "Mohtt-bee."
"Moht-bee?" the rest of us asked.
"Moht-bee: Matter Organized To Be Expressive. That's the definition of 'Art.'" He then folded his arms and leaned back in his chair.
So P.O.T.B.E. means "Photons Organized To Be Expressive."

Posted by: kan at August 26, 2004 10:36 PMNah. I've always maintained that it's wrong to get into fisticuffs over a philsophical debate when your opponent is bigger and stronger than you.

I'm telling wonkette.
Posted by: Maureen at August 27, 2004 4:00 AMHmmm. POTBE is a D.A. (Dumb achronym.) But the picture is strangely interesting.
Nice cropping, did you enhance? Don't tell people it's a bathroom floor. Tell people it's an example of modern mosaic theory.
It's computer generated, but inspired by the color scheme of the bathroom tiles at work.
I looked at it on an LCD screen, and it looks much worse. The colors are different, and that optical illusion (what's it called?) where you see dots at the intersections is much worse.
