I’m not sure what language that “translation” is translated into, but it certainly isn’t English!

This is obviously a warning sign of an immenant massive solar flare, destined to hit Earth head on. We are all going to die.

low and left of the dart board circle is a tent. To the right (the bright area) is the Grim Reaper. He is obviously on vacation in the woods. (Or looking for Sara Palin perhaps?)

The kicker was the comment that even the cat ran and hid. He should have moved the car and see if the cat would return.

Polar bear. It is most definitely a polar bear … in the jungle. Like in Lost.

I tried to decide what it looked like before I read what it was supposed to look like, and I saw the grim reaper, cloak, scythe and everything. I didn’t include the circle, which I don’t think counts in the Mary version, either.

My first thought was Galileo’s hand holding a lens between his fingers, but I also see an eagle head holding a marble.

It looks like the burning Monk on the front cover of the self-titled Rage Against the Machine album (but reversed).
