HISTORICAL FACTS: Masterzicius - Caught on Camera
Community Member
Master Zicius is one of the great Chinese linguist-etymologist-philosophers of the Internet Age, and is a distant, distant, distant cousin of the great Confucius. Named Zi, meaning “word” in Chinese, Zicius is a tremendously well read and learned scholar of the Chinese language. He deciphers the etymology of some of the most difficult characters out there for a living!

This is so cool! I actually made a very similar post about Chinese just a short while ago (many Chinese characters were actual illustrations in their original forms)! It's fascinating to see how very different languages can still share this kind of visual element. Thanks for sharing!

The stories tell themselves, though there's endless angles to them so everyone might see a story of their own. How did the astronaut end up a slice of cheese? Is it an explorer from an alien world? Who communicates back to mission control... "This unknown surface is oddly reminiscent from our 3rd moon's surface. Soil sample analysis is needed for further assessment..." Who put the tuque on the mountain? Etc. The hallmark of great work is that they stir people's imagination.

Oh would be nice to find some interesting people to collaborate. So I certainly would try to create something more movable ;) these dolls are amazingly heavy for stop motions
