Glimpses of screens you can't see

The cats are sleeping on the bed, Tom McRae is singing, I'm drinking tea while marking and just above my desk there's this poster of a famous painting by Hyeronimus Bosch...

 

Yes life can be more interesting than the Internet...except maybe for the marking! The title of the painting is "The Extraction of the Stone of Madness" btw...and this makes me think of Spike in season 7, the chip being the replacement of the stone. On the painting Bosch chose to paint a flower. The flower is a tulip which, in the Netherlands was a metaphor for being mad...

Yes, that one's my favourite as well.

I believe he also painted a war between Carnival and Lent, but I couldn't find that one, so I might be mixing up painters...
