Is this supposed to be a “find the impossible” type of challenge?
Get me a 2015 Exotic Martial Arts Weapon of the Month wall calendar.
It should include a photograph (or several from different angles), the name, the country of origin, martial art in which it is commonly used, inventor’s name (if known, which is quite rare), and some sort of write up including special uses for any strange-looking bits. For instance, September should show a nine-dragon spear.
Or, for a more modern approach, a 2015 Exotic Firearms of the Month wall calendar.
It should include a photograph (or several from different angles), the name, the country of origin, military unit/specialist(s) who commonly use it, inventor’s name (if known), and some sort of write up including special uses for any strange-looking bits. For instance, September would show the Belgian FN P-90 Assault Rifle and it’s accompanying 5-Seven pistol; June would show a Calico 9mm rifle with 100-round barrel-mounted magazine.
How about a 2015 Dangerous Animals Poised to Attack desk mat/calendar?
Photograph(s), name, where normally found, typical predators, typical prey, typical habitat competitors, typical/special mode of attack/defense, special weaponry (stings, venoms, traps) etcetera. For instance, June could show a King Cobra as it’s spitting venom
As with checks, checkbook covers, and return address labels, the stuff available from most of the major printer/vendors is boring and tame, even in the collections geared toward men.
Possibly in existence?
A daily Zen Koan desk calendar.
–G! (or, perhaps, --G!?!)
