We are getting very close to the 200th JSVB Post Extravaganza! Here is a bit of something I am working on right now.
Does it look like a coffee cup or a brain in a jar? I am a little worried about that, but I remain committed to the final product.
It's interesting that a coffee bean and a brain can resemble one another, on a basic morphological level. This is because Nature likes the dicotyledonous form. Dicots are seeds with two lobes (like a coffee bean). By comparison, monocots (like corn seeds) have a single lobe. With two lobes, if one gets destroyed, the other can possibly continue to function. It's Nature's insurance policy against disaster. Also, from an aesthetic view, two lobes can have more visual appeal than one!
