Looking for a term!

What is the opposite of Lampshade Hanging?

Specifically, what I'm thinking of is in the execrable The Recruit - when it's revealed that this computer super-virus can infect toasters and washing machines and televisions because it can attack anything that takes electrical power?

A lampshade hanging would be someone complaining that this is stupid and makes no sense. And The Recruit *has* that - and then it promptly has Colin Farrell explain that no, he's a COMPUTER EXPERT, and THAT'S HOW COMPUTERS REALLY WORK. This is REAL, dammit, a really really realistically real problem that COULD HAPPEN.

There has to be a term for that - not hanging a lampshade on something, but, rather, insisting that NO LAMPSHADE NEEDS TO BE HUNG BECAUSE YOU ARE A STUPIDHEAD.

A Slice Of Life.

On scarfing and knittery.

torrain has knit a scarf, and the technique is just plain awesome.

This is what it looks like:


And THIS is what it looks like from above, and below:




That's right - it's a knitted scarf, made of wool, where a green skull and snake only appear when you see it from the right angle.

Knitters are scary, yo.

EDIT: Pattern on the original creator's site and here on Ravelry.
