# NONE!
I can see none pipes.

Thats not because they are not pipes (although it is true that they are not), but I suffer from "pipe-blindness". I cannot see any pipes¹. Ever².

¹This may not actually be true.
²Or this.

# Far be it from me to pretend to know
what went on inside the head of a famous french surrealist, but I believe the point he was making was that it was only a PICTURE of a pipe, not actually a pipe.

# OK...
1) Jokes are never funny if you have to explain them

2) The "this is not a pipe" thing is not supposed to be a joke. it is art.

3) Spacefish's pic, taken as part of a running gag that long standing B3tans will recognise, is actually quite funny.


Use this information wisely.
