Good day,

to Alan Litchfield who wrote:

There are
some that I simply do not understand, for example what is that thing
in the top row, second from the right?

In this sign there's a 'thing' and a letter U in the upper hand right  
corner. This is the sign for the subway, or 'U-bahn' in German (from  
'Untergrundbahn', underground railway).

Not only are these sign simply illegible, now we all have to learn  
German to be able to understand some of them...

To me the 'baby' is an insect -- we might just as well use Rorschach  
blots for signage.
