If this plant had existed in Japan, it would have been used as a design for a family crest, and its sharp, weapon-like leaves might have been the subject of legends about Oni(demons).

The downfall of great past civilizations is generally attributed to several factors such as natural disasters, invasions, or political corruption. Future historians I suspect will look back at this time and add to that list the effects of constant exposure to mind-numbingly inane marketing ads.

Once you start to think that it's a black cat, it becomes difficult to erase it.
When observing the ecology of unfamiliar plants, you may start to see things you don't know.

Okay so it's a Star Trek Voyager scene but you can't really tell because we're in some insane horror movie clown room. There's a bunch of weird characters about, like this big round jet black mascot looking furry creature with a giant mouth and menacing white teeth, that thing is standing next to a little person with curly blonde hair in a ballerina tutu thing wearing facepaint. In the background are a couple of ballerina looking carnival folk also wearing Eyes Wide Shut type face masks dancing dramatically. The scary black mascot monster thing and ballerina are focused and looking down towards a sad and sulking clown* wearing a gray outfit that seems made out of a fleece blanket material. (Probably supes cozy) He's sitting like a pouty widdle boy with his elbows on his knees and his chinsey winsey resting on his handsy wandsys. He's wearing gray and white face paint that's drawn like a smile but he's glaring and pissy. Closed caption reads, "Don't be a poop!" 

(* the clown is Michael McKean in real life and he's an American treasure. )

The superb lyrebird is a large, pheasant-sized bird about 1 metre (39 inches) in length. The plumage colour is mainly dark brown on the upper body, with greyish-brown underparts and red-tinged flight feathers. In this photo he is fanning out his tail horizontally to cover his body and head, and calling out.

A male Superb Lyrebird displaying on a fallen branch in rainforest on Mount Keira in New South Wales, Australia. A female is nearby. This is part of his courtship routine.
