Something That Changed on Nishi2 This Week
There was one item this week.
“What does this sign look like to you?” unexpectedly got a lot of page views
This week, Niko from Nishi2 asked me, “Doesn’t this look like a bear riding a motorcycle?”

I answered, “No, not really,” and “Wait, you’re making this into an article?”
But, surprisingly enough, the page views really took off. Apparently there was also a survey asking what people thought it looked like, and I was surprised to see more than 20 responses. We’ll write another article about it!
Yeah, sorry for brushing it off like, “What even is this?”
I’m frustrated, so I’m going to make Niko do a penalty game (no idea what that means).
