Was ist eigentlich aus der alten Mail an die Google-Company geworden, in der es um die deutschen Konjugationen von "to google" geht? Alle Singular-, Plural- und Tempus-Formen bitte.
Wie dem auch sei: Escher rult 'ne Menge weg, soviel ist ja wohl mal klar. Besonders
das Pedalternorotandomovens Centroculatus Articulosus (Krempeltierchen) hat es mir sehr angetan (hab's leider net auf deutsch gefunden):

Zitat von Maurits Corneille Escher
The Pedalternorotandomovens Centroculatus Articulosus was created (generatiospontanea!) out of dissatisfaction with the fact that in nature there are no wheel-shaped creatures which are able to move by rolling. The creature shown here, popularly known as a 'curl-up' is an attempt to fulfill this deeply felt need. Its biological characteristics are still uncertain: is it a mammal, a reptile or an insect? It has an elongated body consisting of horny articulated plates and three pairs of legs, which end in feet similar to the human foot. In the middle of the fat, round head, which has a sharply curved parrot beak, there are two protruding eyes, set on stalks and sticking out from either side of the head. When it is stretched out, the creature is able to move over any substratum slowly and thoughtfully, using its six legs (if need be, it can climb up or go down steep stairs, penetrate thick undergrowth or clamber over rocks). However, as soon as it has to travel any distance along a relatively clear path, it pushes down its head, curls up as fast as lightning, pushing off with its feet, if these are still touching the ground. When it is rolled up it has the appearance of a discus, of which the central pivot is formed by eyes on stalks. By pushing successively with each of its three pairs of legs, it can attain a high speed. As it rolls along, it can pull in its feet at will (for instance when going down a slope or when coasting) and thus freewheel. When necessary, it is able to change back to the walking position in two ways: either, abruptly, by suddenly stretching its body, but then it ends up on its back with its feet in the air, or by gradually reducing speed (using its legs as a brake) and slowly unrolling backwards as it comes to a standstill.

Seine Metamorphosen und Kachelmuster finde ich nicht allzu geil - doch all die Treppen und sonstigen unmöglichen Architekturen (auch
Konkav-Konvex) sind übelst hammer.
Ganz, ganz böse, und irgendwie traurig und nachdenklich stimmend ist sein Auge; das Bild von seiner Frau und ihm ist sehr romantisch.
Frage: wann kommt die Gothic-Version vom Google-Logo? Oder die von Salvador Dalí?
Wird H.R. Giger sich nochmal die Ehre geben? (Harhar).
