@pikesley Thank you for making me smile.
@pikesley cesi n'est pass une figue.
@pikesley two significant figs
@pikesley I tried to scan this into Excel, but it interpreted them as dates.
@pikesley If plants could be evil, figs would fit the bill. They flower on the inside. Pregnant female wasps enter the fig through a small aperture, which strips away their wings in the process. She gives birth to males and females. Mating occurs inside the fig. The males dig away at the fig, allowing the newly pregnant females to escape; thereby repeating the whole hideous process.
Mmmm wasps

@pikesley I work in a research lab & had this on a bulletin board outside my office! I moved to a new office but left this behind. I wonder how long it will stay up.
@pikesley ~It~ They figures.
@pikesley Alt: illustrations of two figs, labelled fig 1 and fig 2
@pikesley Ain’t that 1a and 1b?
@pikesley does that image have a date?
@pikesley please alt text this properly.
@georgepotter @pikesley Sometimes people post the alt text as a comment. That helps the people who need the alt text and reminds the poster about good alt text.
@pikesley I put it to you that these are two halves of the same fig -- "fig A", if you will.
@fishidwardrobe @pikesley please, not another entry for the fig replication crisis
