[Skip Tavakkolian]

here's an idea from brucee for a gsoc project.  he did a
proof-of-concept earlier today.  basically take something like this:

and transform it into this:

with this as the byproduct:

he is searching for the right graduate student to mentor for this fine
art.

In the Russian army:

Sgt.: Who is a painter here?
Soldier: I'm the painter.
Sgt.: Well, take this axe and draw me a stack of firewood in the morning.

It's just a quite popular joke in Russia.
Actually, in the Russian army such kind a "humor" really takes a place.
For example:
"dig a ditch from the fence till the dusk"
