I found this little gem at the board network that hosts the EAS forum.

Can you spot the problem with this picture? http://www.loony-archivist.com/lowerdec ... arters.jpg

So, whats wrong with picture? FYI this is part of the Voyager sickbay.

Voyager didn't air until 1995. Is that the mistake?

The problem is in the picture itself. Something physically wrong.

Is that the buffet cart in the background?

Or that thing that looks suspiciously like a toilet seat on the shelf behind the wheeled cart?

Is it the wheeled cart?

Nope, its something else.

I don't like this picture. It reminds me of all the times someone asked me to look at a picture and then something jumped out, screaming.

I think its either that opening-like cover on the curved window that seems kinda out of place, or that thing on the desk.

The fact there's a kitchen in the back?

I dont remember a greenhouse in sickbay...there's a lot of potted plants there....

I think that's a hydrophonics/biology station/lab. I don't think that's the one.

Shit, this almost makes me wish I watched more then just over a dozen episodes of Voyager...

The error does not have to do with the show itself. You can spot the problem even if you haven't seen a single episode.

Is it that the chair at the desk has a bottom but no seat or backrest?

Theres something odd sitting on the desk....but the picture is damn small so I cant make out what it is....

Here's a hint. Your going to smack yourself when you realize what it is.

Well, is it that the chair at the desk doesn't have a seat on it?

Oh, I'm already close to smaking myself, Alyeska...

God damn it, I hate these games...

Nope, but your looking in the right part of the room.

Ah what the hell.

Take a real good look at the door.

the carpet is rolled up at the edge of it.....

Ah, there is no room for the door to slide open, since the one side would "slide" through the area where the desk is. That's Federation engineering for yah!

The back edge of the door probably goes into subspace when it opens using some device that if it fails will explode catastrophically and anhilate three decks of the ship....

Thats federation engineering for you....

Though I maintain badly fitted carpets are a major part of thier problems....

Heh, true. During the Year of Hell episode, half the damage to the ship was done by catastrophic door failure.

"Captain! Door containment fields are failing!"
"What?"
*ship is rocked by an explosion*
"The containment just failed on the sickbay doors....we've lost everything below deck 2....."
