The Oracle is a mechanical fortune-teller developed by Norns Corp. It is two meters high and equipped with four heads, one of each provides customers with the service БУДУЩЕЕ® (FUTURE®). Chart right beside the machine is an agent between horizontal and vertical worlds. Client is asked to wait when one of the heads will match the body of the device and after that they should compare fell out face with given information in the chart. This is the mechanism behind the service БУДУЩЕЕ®, which is provided by the fortune-teller. ATTENTION! The machine is user-unfriendly and interaction with it has certain side effects. Please, stay vigilant and keep an eye on your shoes.

The mechanical fortune-teller offers four prophecies, which sound like forms of predictions common in pop culture, but at the same time they leave an ambiguous feeling because in fact, they are remade excerpts from the Criminal Code of Russia.

The merlion is a statue with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name comes from a portmanteau of mermaid and lion.
The merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964 and was used as its logo up to 1997. The Merlion continues to be its trademark symbol. It also appears frequently in STB-approved souvenirs.
Based on the Singapore Tourism Board's publicity campaign, the lion head and fish body of the creature recalls the story of the legendary Sang Nila Utama, who saw a lion while hunting on an island, en route to Malacca. The island eventually became the sea port of Temasek, a precursor to Singapore.
Hihi! Inner geek in me. My god, Oracle building looks like those flowchart symbols of a database. Exactly like that.
this past week we made our approach turn into SFO right over one of my client's offices. When this office complex was designed Larry Ellison wanted the buildings to feel like data bases. They are built around a lagoon. If you notice in the upper right of the lagoon is a boat. that is the Oracle America's Cup entry in the past America's Cup race. Obviously it isn't going much of anywhere. I'd hate to think what it cost to drop that into the lagoon.
