The Orange Bicycle Flag

This is a bright orange safety flag for use with a bicycle.  The one company that dominates this market is Bell.  This picture was taken at the in transition to history Toy's R US.  Like Circuit City, Walden Books, Borders, and several other public market places, they are places no more.  Perhaps someday McDonald's or Starbucks will follow in the wake?  As society changes these once invincible stores do eventually shift or disappear.

Getting Over It - Flag Pole on Kids Castle Video Game by Bennet Foddy

Bennett Foddy - Playing Getting Over It

Getting Over It is mouse video game created by Bennett Foddy.  This game is majestic pile of  rage inducing puzzle that has the ability to pierce into the holes of the human heart.  No death, no shooting, no guns, just a man with a hammer who is suck in a pot, trying to get the top.   The closest thing to vexilloid is the flag-less flagpole on the children's jungle gym.

The game is something like a near perfect drug.  It is easy to get hooked into game play; human the curiosity and desire to win fuels one's addiction.  During the game play, perfectly positioned philosophical quotes and music underscore each fall, being simultaneously supportive and taunting.  Although just a video game, it's more of an experience.  In the end  those that persevere and practice make to the top in a moment of cosmic ecstasy.

This is based upon Sexy Hiking, but was rebooted with charming, philosophical bells and whistles.  Surely a sequel is sure to come.  Perhaps one will be climbing downwards against an up wind current?

Bennett Foddy is a creative, mad genius who was able to unlock a sweet secret spot in the human psyche.  Dare you play the game?  You will have to 'get over it' if you fail and if you succeed, you will 'get over it.'  This game can be therapy for the mind or lead to madness.  All in all, everyone one way or another will get over it.

Saimesophase Explanation with Flags: When Sister-Siamese Chromatids are United from G2 to Metaphase

Siamesophase happens when the genetic (N) number is (2N+2N').  Siamesophase crosses over from Interphase into the M, Mitotic Phase.  To be more specific, Siamesophase lasts from G2 until Metaphase.  This is when the original number of chromosome 'data' is doubled on each chromosome.

Just after Metaphase (from Anaphase until Late Cytokinesis) there is a quadruple number of Chromosomes (4N) in a single cell.  This is when somatic cells are Quadraploid.  Cells are Quadraploid for a short amount of time; it may seem strange but it is a natural state of a cell's life cycle.  Consequently nearly all human somatic cells have a history of having 92 chromosomes in each cell (from Anaphase until Late Cytokinesis).  Thus 'normal' human cells can have 23, 46, or 92 chromosomes. Nearly every biology book published today has overlooked this fact!

Siamesophase was named after the famous Thai-American Conjoined twins - Chang and Eng Bunker, who were born in Siam.    Like Nihonium and Tennessine, the name Siamesophase was chosen to put Thailand on the map of genetics, since Thailand's old name was Siam. Likewise the first human to recognize and name this part of the cell's cycle that crosses both Interphase and M Phase is Siamese.
