In nature the giraffe is quite as wonderful as man’s Eiffel Tower.

Both are improbable. Both seem to defy what should be natural law. Yet both exist and give great pleasure.
There is a difference. I have been to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I have never been to the top of a giraffe. Chen defies natural law again-he makes the top train on the left run upside down. If you want to delve for meanings of symbols, go ahead. I’d rather look at this just for fun.
