Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
For an easy one, Jack, that took me a while - and I could be wrong! If I’m right, there’s only one UK record …

I'm drawing a blank with that one, even with Guys slight nudge.

Explanations of my more obscure ones
A tortoiseshell becoming scarce.
A deity called Apollo
White Wood that is Real (true) or 'Cryptic' (misusing Einstein)

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
I got that last one quite wrong, Jack! Since the relativity claim is clearly untrue, I assumed it had to be a ‘false’ something. And with the grey wood, I thought the best bet was false grayling. Oh - and I went for large tortoiseshell too.
Fun stuff!

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
Didn't get the first one, I too went with Large Tort (too big to fit in the frame) and even with the explanation I wouldn't have got the last one...

There might be a multiverse where it is true...
In the meantime, I'm prepared to give Albert Einstein the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, it's E=MC squared not cubed

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
Lol! I was clearly in the wrong dimension there! 

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
couple more somewhat obvious ones...
and because I couldn't think of a way to make it more cryptic. If you can't get this final one it's probably time for you to hang up your coat!

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
How anyone truly understands any of this is a mystery to me.
I recall listening to a quantum scientist try to explain the Higgs Boson a little while back.
I might as well have been trying to understand Mandarin Chinese!

A lot of these things strange things - like dimensions - have been discovered in the Large Hardon Collider.
Sorry - typo there. I blame the spell checker. Of course I meant the Hadron Collider.

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
Ok, now that day is over for another year, and I'm sat at work on my lunch break a bit bored here's what I asked the AI to do for me.
This first ones an edit of Guy's first one which I presumed was a Clouded Yellow, so I made it Paler... I then went one further and added a burger (Berger) joint to the scene: The next involves some Latin, a checkered box (or board depending on which derivation to go with) in Latin is fritillus which is how a flower and a group of butterflies came to share a common name. This particular checker box is Green, specifically a Dark shade of green. the next box is Brown and being in the mountains it's quite High up. Here we have a Painting on a Lady with and American twist (I specifically asked the AI for a painting of the Mona Lisa with american flag finger nails, this is what it gave me, I don't think it's quite ready to take over the world just yet!) An easy one was a lady with Green Streaks in her Hair Slightly more cryptic but still easy I think was some White Marble (in a meadow to give it habitat context) Some more checked boxes, these you will notice have Pearl edging (Borders perhaps), again there's some habitat context here. (I tried and failed numerous times to get the AI to make one box smaller than the other but it really couldn't grasp that concept at all!) This one it's meant to represent a Scottish pine forest with lots of eyes looking back at you (Argus being one of the Greek gods with many eyes and why so many eye'd butterflies are or have been known as Argus). A lady with Ringlets in a Mountain landscape A Keeper of the Gate A Duke and Duchess dressed in Burgundy livery is what I asked the AI for here and well, if you couldn't see that this was Admiral Nelson dressed in Red and White...! I still think Guy's very cryptic one is an MC.
I'll get back to the serious work of catching up with my PD later!

Re: Some new Cartoon interpretations
Thanks for clearing those up, Paul. Apart from American Painted Lady & Green Hairstreak, they were pretty tough.

As I said earlier:
English names are much easier. A quick search showed that

Here is a screen grab from BBC about Welsh names. You'll need to click the thumbnail to be able to read. Can you pronounce those David?trying to understand Welsh spelling.

Sincere apologies to any Nigel here. You have to blame Ms.Ponsimby and Mr.Smallpiece for the choice of name for their son.[her] mum knew someone with the unfortunate name Nigel Ponsimby-Smallpiece!!!
