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

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.

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!

— René Magritte

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.

😆 that’s a good one! I haven’t seen it before, and I thought I’d gone through all of them (to date)! Cheers!

I have never seen that! I wish I could upvote you twice, you wonderful person.

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 !
