Hi
It's hard to see, but the pic's watermarked, and that's an insta-pull, so it's gone.

Any suggestions? If not, I say this goes imageless.

Random thought I had:

Clever.
I love that one! So simple, yet so perfect!
Hi
Those last two are great.

The image of nothing would be the best image for the page.

Would we need a real blank space image or just the caption in the place images always go?

Putting the caption under the quote leaves a gap where an image might go.

Hi
That looks good.
What about multiple "wrong" color words? pink, blue, etc.
(It is fine as-is though. +1)

How about this? It's a classic painting by Magritte.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
That's already an image for Postmodernism, picked by a previous IP thread. But I like it though.

"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."
It's also perfectly true - it's an image of a pipe.

That's the standard explanation by people who don't understand the painting.

Ah, Po Mo. Anyways, the missing image is good.

So go with the sandbox

That one has my vote!
Maybe add a pothole(maybe to Self-Demonstrating Article) to the caption, so it is easier to see.

I don't like the image-less option. It only makes sense if you're expecting an image to be there. Anyone who stumbles onto this page and isn't used to the site is just going to be confused. It might work if there were even more empty space. Or maybe it it were something like "Pictured above: two horses playing chess" just so it's totally obvious. After all, it's supposed to be "blatant".

This picture has been there for as long as I can remember, but it's not even an example, it's just a "Blind Idiot" Translation. Unless there are better suggestions, I say this page doesn't need an image.
