Still, I am hoping our minds will open like parachutes and save us before we crash
 

That's part of the quote on the news page... Damien talking about global warming... maybe that's the meaning of the parachute on the cover of '9'?

Good thinking, Wheels, my friend. You smart cookie.

wheels, i wonder how many people will try to find the parachute on the cover of 9 after reading your post. i did. found it

Had you not seen it? I had studied the album art so closely to make the '9' EskimoFriends t-shirts... I guess I thought everyone had :)

Ooops... Never seen before the parachute before... even after you mentioned it took me a couple of minutes... no good at this visual games

You make a cute purple blood sucking muppet.

Oh, why do women never say things like that to me. :smiley36: I hadn't spotted the parachute either.

Are you a cute purple muppet too? I dig muppets.

i always thought that was an umbrella but parachute sounds good to me.

I joined the march and now I'm honoured to realize I'm marching with the Blue Man Group :D

I'd studied it Wheels! Always wondered if it was something to do with 'this would not have happened if it hadn't missed my plane' .... But this makes much more sense!!

Who'd jump from a plane holding an umbrella? lol Maybe it is... who knows.

I haven't spotted it so far! I'm gonna check later! Anyway Damien's message was great!

there's gotta be a cartoon of someone jumping from a plane with an umbrella for a parachute... but i can't find one on google images...

this man?

lol, brilliant... somehow it just had to be 'W' :smiley32:

I was in hysterics at the things he has said to the Queen! :P

yeah, W and the queen, the 2 most usuless people in the world on one screen, fantastic :P

Don't underestimate the importance of the Queen: It is really useful that the PM has to bow before someone every week, I envy your country for this.

we can only hope j, we can only hope

wheels, i had seen the parachute/umbrella thingie but i still had to check it again

Yeah, I agree with Rai. I do think the Queen is important, perhaps not practically anymore, but the sentiment is something that cannot be replaced. I don't think we'd be the same country without a monarch personally.

Anyway, back on topic: I can't find the parachute. :(

edit: sorry :smiley9:

Ack Cali you ruined my fun. I was just about to go search the cover before you did it before me :(

But yeh it looks like the plane is about to crash.

By the way, did we ever have a "Let's find everything on the 9 cover" thread? If not, it would be a good idea and great fun :)

Well I'm sure we could twist everything on the cover any which way but yeh we might find some proper stuff in it.

Is the warped picture of the man and the women a symbol that Damien thinks higher of male status?

the cover reminds me of hieroglyphics.

I'm pretty sure that is meant to be an homage the 'You me' picture on the cover of 'O'. I also see the 'grumps' from the 'Volcano' single in there.

Any ideas on what the dog, person, car sequence means?

None...

There's a few numbers on there, a few people, animals, vehicles and (as expected of our beloved horn-dog, D-Money) everything else is a phallic symbol.
