They may be Greek but they're drawn to scale.

If you click to enlarge the drawing below, you will notice a note from the Designer stating the Client requires at least 900mm of space beween the doorway on the right and the cabinet to the left, as they would like to hang a picture there. I thought this must be quite some special picture, that they would design it right into their kitchen. Normally I'd just show a measurement on the plan, but seeing as this was such a special picture I thought we should have a bit more detail.



Meet Mr and Mrs Geometrica and their adopted son Gregory. They are possibly Greek or Maltese, they enjoy olives and being two dimensional. Mr Geometrica sports a sensible hat, hatched in the pattern usually used for concrete, with matching tie and monocle. Mrs Geometrica is barren and fond of polka-dots. To make her feel better about her faulty plumbing Mr Geometrica purchased her this boy and two sets of clothes for it.


How happy they are now, all smiles of joy (Mr Geometrica is smiling on the inside) and to comemorate the occasion they sensibly had this CAD drawing done of themselves to hang, place of pride in their home, between the china cabinet and the door to the garage.

No need to thank me, I'm just the Draftsman *ricochet sound*

This may be the funniest post you've ever written.

If it wasn't midnight and thus people already sleeping in my house, I'd be rolling on the floor in hysterics.

I like the monocle. And the story.
