You may be thinking that the new range of tea-pots look very classy, but where are the spouts to let the tea come out? That just shows how little you understand about post-functionalism. It is high time to liberate and autonomise teapot design so that individual teapots become a visual record of the design process, revealing the purely conceptual formalist aesthetic. You can't expect tea as well.

Silly. Those aren't teapots. They're water bears.
I believe the зорб tag applies.
They look like something you don't want in your intestinal tract or urethra to me.
POOP!
VS is nearly right; they are wart-orb airs.
"VS is nearly right"
I am the SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!

OK, Mr Picky, what things DO look like something you'd want in your intestinal tract or urethra?
Pshaw, those are the old "This is your eyes after watching too much TV" posters from Aramoho school

What entrance are we starting with?

Don't look at me.

Things that look more like POOP or PEE than like something that's going to try to embed itself in some fleshy place and sap your precious bodily fluids.
Your mileage may vary.
What entrance are we starting with?
...and how friendly are we supposed to be with the, um, agent that is, um, inserting those things?
Also, Substance, it's impolite to go in through the out door.
I know orbs when I see 'em.

Candiru,
bad for you.
Life goes on...
Blocked urethra, life goes on.
just not all that much longer

Now I am tempted to start a regular series of parasitology posts.
Spoutlessness may well be post-functional, but the failure to break free from the "short and stout" paradiggem is disappointing.
P.S. Candiru Canduyu
Now I am tempted to start a regular series of parasitology posts.
For the record: The Good Herr Doktor has come up with this idea all by his lonesome. I take no responsibility for his behavior.
Also note: without looking, I'm willing to bet there are more than half a million websites with exactly such content. Rule 34 sez: some of them are somebody's idea of sexy time.
"parasitology"
About 17,200,000 results (0.07 seconds)
Off by a few orders of magnitude.

Worm Wednesday?
Helminthepistles.
with exactly such content.
My contents are different.
ha ha happy times weighing sheep poop and sieving it to get at teh good stuff. Oddly there were no biscuits in the tea room
It really is all about content in that branch of science
Function is for Philistines!
Oh, Candiru
I need you soo

The tract itself, however...
I will leave it to Sub to shoop the appropriate handlike forms/mathematical operators into frames 2, 3 and 7 so as to create the proper goatseesque perspective.
#7 is actually the same as #3 but at a different scale.
I think this one belongs in the same sequence, between #1 and #2. From one of the 1953 Upshot-Knothole tests -- probably 'Annie'.
