awwww.

Once upon a time, there was a fellow who was bored while waiting for a London Tube train. With little else to do, he took to staring at the Tube Map and noticed that you can trace some of the lines to make an elephant. A hobby was born.

Now you can go to his Animals on the Underground site and look at the animals, play games, even buy merchandise. I have to say that some of these are quite beautiful: the "bird in flight" is particularly fine (some others are a bit of a stretch - the flamingo looks a little too much like Quincy the Iguana from FoxTrot for my liking. Of course, I can be particular about my flamingos).

I'm most taken with this one as not only did he (or one of his posse - you can join his club and find your own) find a dog, he found a Thurber Dog!


I also like how it looks like the dog is playing with the underground logo.
