By superimposing two similarly perforated panels a short distance from one another the desired effect is thus created.

both exemplify the creative fashion in which a simple mathematical occurrence mixed with choice materials can coax the void of an interior space into a matchless and mysterious place.

The perforation plate of an Ephedra torreyana vessel. The perforations are circular and bordered, quite different from the scalariform pattern basic to the pattern in flowering plants.

The perforation plate of Ephedra kokanica consists of perforations relatively large for the genus.

"The perforations are circular and bordered, quite different from the scalariform pattern basic to the pattern in flowering plants."
dont be so sure mr smug

The wood of Gnetum gnemon mostly has vessels with large simple perforation plates, but smaller vessels, like this one, viewed with SEM, can have perforation plates composed of numerous perforations like those of Ephedra.

Doctors refer to the big toe as the "great" toe.

the meh toe

Excema is more of a rash like psoriasis. Pitted keratolysis is when bacteria eats into the skin, causing pits.

What's meh?

All the pics with man-made stuff are harmless to me.

the meh little piggy went "wee-wee-wee" all the way home

All the pics with man-made stuff are harmless to me.

what about the pics of the wood structures?

Smile!!

Wood is not man made, so it has a good chance of skeeving me out.

buffmom, do you mean "to what do you refer to as being 'meh'"? or "what does the word 'meh' mean"?

How many kids do Buff and Max have?

Limacodid caterpillar (this is one caterpillar, not a group. If I saw this, I'd poop my pants

What does the word "meh" mean

Buff and Max have no kids. Buff has been spayed and Max has been de-nutted.

thing is, when you post pictures of groups of insects, worms, whatever ― even if they're hairy ― and have no problem at all with complex perforation patterns in man-made material, i wonder whether your fascination really has anything to do with the fear of holes, per se.

it sounds more like you're grossed out by a sort of insectile complexity. human beings (some say) are biologically programmed to be repulsed by things that are insect or snake-like, though we all experience these sensations differently.
