Neat! For a few years, when I gave my online students the option of sending me clear pictures of their homework, taken with their phones, I curated a large folder of them, organized by the shape of the shadows cast on the paper. They were mostly the typical hands-with-phone shaped shadows, but often they reminded me of animals or celebrities, or both. This post reminds me that I should name them.

Yes, the names are great, especially "Toxic mitosis".

Very cool. Reminds me of a recent If You High Instagram post.

I am curious about "Groovy, man." I can't imagine what color that is supposed to produce, and it looks like an inefficent number of ingredients to produce any color. Was it made just to create a cool 'gram?
