Copy-pasted from AB coz I’m lazy.

Very slightly creeped out by Tiny

An artist on Art is Murder submitted this image a day or so ago (I’ve lost track). Tiny spotted it and proclaimed it a “big tarp wemus!” I got the big and sharp and asked him to repeat the last word a few times. He kept repeating the sentence. So I said, “A big sharp remus?”

“Yes!” he says in his cute matter of fact voice.

“What’s a remus?”

“Dat!” while pointing to the artwork in question.

I passed this along to the artist and like me the only “Remus” he knew of was one of the mythological founders of Rome (as in Romulus and Remus, raised by a wolf). Sprat did a Google search and discovered that there is also a moon called Remus (again named after aforementioned mythological founders of Rome). I then utilised Google image search to see if there was any pictures of this Remus moon and discovered that there was.

How’s that for coincidence?
