So I am looking at the covers of the checkout stand magazines while standing in line at the supermarket. One is entitled Real Simple: The Power of Sleep. It displays a starry night cover with a big crescent moon in the center. The moon reflects light onto fluffy non-threatening approaching clouds. However, there are several stars visible in the sky where the unlit area of the moon should have blocked them, as if the moon really is a crescent and not an orb at all.
- The artist really thinks the moon is a crescent at times.
- The cover is not intended to be taken as a factual interpretation of the night sky but simply pulling on common nighttime imagery.
- The cover is meant as a surreal dream conception implying powerful sleep.
- Somebody sure was asleep when that cover was designed.
- Other.

So I am looking at the covers of the checkout stand magazines while standing in line at the supermarket. One is entitled The Complete Guide to the Medieval Times. It looks to be about 75 pages and boasts cover blurbs about fearless knights, epic castles, deadly dungeons and Joan of Arc’s “untold story.”
- Complete is probably an exaggeration here.
- Medieval times, how much more could there be? Dark ages and all.
- Wait, what? Joan of Arc’s untold story? Really?
- Ni! Ni!
