Driving through the new white block arches on the West Gate Freeway at night felt like getting a brain scan.



Anyone else been through those bizarre block arches?... thoughts on artistry?
Hahaha. Is this the thing you are talking about?
Yeah... that's the thing.
It is not publicly known, but actually it is a government approved teleporting device. They switch it on when you have not paid the freeway tolls and you get zapped to french island.
There are two arch monoliths... are both teleport destinations calibrated to French Island?
Yes of course. Where else would you send someone who has done a terrible wrong? HAHAHAHA.
?.. I thought French Island was like a wild life sanctuary... doesn't sound like a bad place to be teleported.
Hahaha. Yeah I have never been there but I heard it is a pretty miserable place.

If cars and passengers are T ported to French Island, then how long before the French Islanders will notice?

Just imagining such a reality makes me <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/LMAO.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

Hey Iblis!



Did you make it to S Dali and his exhibition?

Nope, even though I actually had an opportunity to attend with a colleague. I'm kinda glad I didn't attend since having heard that a bulk of the displayed works were phallic.

Have you ever visited the Geelong Art Gallery?

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed viewing the extensive art work at the Geelong Gallery a few months ago and probably due for a re-visit.
Hi Peter. I found the picture of the brain scanner in some pdf file on the internet. And then i converted it into an image. It was from here somewhere i think:

I could not find the file again though. It must be there somewhere.



Or I could have just got totally mixed up in which case I found it on some other website!! hahaha



Cheers, Glen
Melbourne!!!!
If those things can teleport people shouldn't it be called the "Liberator" Highway ?



What a odd looking thing - definitely destined for a lightning strike <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/emoticon_rainbow.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rainbow:' />
Somewhere near the west gate bridge I believe.
(IIRC) on the West Gate Freeway near the Montague exit and there is another opposite.
