Slashdot Mirror
Four-Story Pixellated Mario Mural
MasterPlaid writes "A group of anonymous cowards (eningeers) has apparently constructed a four-story mural of scenes from the NES Super Mario games. The best part is, they did the whole thing out of Post-It Notes, recreating the wondeful pixellated goodness we expect from Super Mario. The idea for this mural seems to have originated in the Strong Bad email of the same name."
Let's do something like this with the side of a building. I'm tired of playing tetris on commercial skyscrapers. Time for some side-scrolling action!
Is the Princess in another office?

When will people learn that copying other people's copyrighted works is against the law.
The falling barrels were quite real.
Where is the mushroom for that?
Oh those darned "eningeers"...
Looks like their server has already been pixelated as well.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the light cone.

You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
It's hard to believe that someone was nerdy enough to submit this to Slashdot, but not nerdy enough to immediately know the difference between NES and SNES Mario games.
I believe the pipes don't freeze because the water is warm. And the ice is a big insulating layer between that and the deep-below-freezing Alaskan air. There's a moist cavity at the top where the stuff sprays out.
. . . moist cavity. They could've used another phrase, but no.

There's no such thing as pointless art.
You apparently have never been to an art musem.
Probably not, but being twice as tall would probably have helped...
Now, given that they're all in the same building my usual 'board up the doors and set the place on fire' approach probably isn't the best remedy. Honestly, I have a bunch of ideas I could post, but most of them would open you (and possibly me) up to a great deal of liability. So here's one just to get you thinking in the right direction:
Pennies. Along with your 20 closest friends, learn how to penny a door shut. It's not that tough, but may take practice to be able to do quickly and on the first try. Now, in the morning before classes (those Econ types get up early for some reason), simultaniously penny shut each and every office door. EXTRA POINTS: Use some superglue on the pennies to make them tough to remove.
Other ideas involve things like foam fire extinguishers, B&E and property damage. But hey, you're engineers, you can work these out on your own.
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
teenage hormones and gel pens.
I've seen dark purple postits distributed with those silver-ink pens. The effect is pretty neat if you're a teenage girl or an office worker (not too much difference there beyond age)
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Finally, art that matters... (and yes, I would call it art.)
I think you are both correct.
we need an "-1 Plain wrong" moderation option!
Of course it isn't pointless. It's a site advocating excessive use of Post-It notes. Note that other notes won't do; they HAVE to be Post-Its.
What a good idea! Now everyone will make Post-It murals, and they'll only buy genuine Post-It notes.
If there isn't some 3M money in this somewhere, I'll be extrememly surprised.
Thanks. I was thrown off by the fact when the submitter wrote "the Strong Bad email of the same name," I didn't realize that he meant "same" in the sense of "completely different."
