A collaboration between halfbakery regular Loris and the mysterious InkySoup.

Mummy? More like ... Yummy! At least if you're a swarm of magical 5000-year-old flesh-eating scarab beetles.

The scratches on the little price slab are five "10" hieroglyphs. At least one hieroglyph decipherer thought that that word also means "terrible, terrify", quoting from Budge, 1920 (1978). An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, section: A List of Hieroglyphic Characters: Strokes and Doubtful Objects. So, you can pronounce it as 50, or as terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.

You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and halfbakery.

Oh no! Not you, half croissant! Was it the low salary that made you sell us out to the spooks? Or are you just gathering data until you'll turn whistleblower?

Halloween


   
Lego of our Logo.
Perfectly shaped tiny brown plastic Lego® croissants are available online from the pick-a-brick store for $0.20. It's the only baked good they have. (No fish though, although there is a generically titled "bone".)

Our half croissant has some agar-management issues.

Some ideas are truly immortal. Others just don't seem to die.

Thanks for everything, old croissant. Enjoy your retirement.

On the occasion of shooting the Halloween logo, we reshot the site logo properly. So, the croissant, sign, and plate have all changed (it's no longer a saucer - at least one user complained about that), the camera is better, and so's the photographer and postproduction.

I've learned a lot about lighting small objects since I took the original picture back in '99 in front of a bedsheet with an architect's lamp and a web camera. Mainly to not use a bedsheet, an architect's lamp, and a webcamera, and to let someone else do the work. Someone who tapes a little "X" to the ground to tell me where to stand and hold the flash.

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

Halloween


   
The half croissant had been abducted by a dozen of zombie croissants formed from mutant sentient fortune cookie yeast. Thanks to everybody who helped solve the puzzle formed by the twelve ideas they gathered in and sent in the magic phrase, "you crack me up" (it's what the sentient fortune cookie said to its reader -- get it? Yeah, I thought it was horrible, too.)

Nooo! Not again!
The scariest thing for the halfbakery team, 2004: an open disk drive and a hammer.

Here, fishy fishy fishy.
I'd say "you have no idea how bad this smelled during the photoshoot", but the picture actually brings that accross very well.
We had to fight off flies.
