Along the majority of the LIE (Long Island Expressway to you non-natives) are walls that are for blocking some of the traffic noise from nearby residential areas. I guess they're called sound-baffling walls, or something?
In western Suffolk County, where I live, these walls have seagulls on them in groups of 3; a few groups per mile. Here's a pic. At the easternmost end of the LIE, the seagulls are replaced by ducks. Pretty neat. See? It doesn't take much to impress me. Now, to the west, in Nassau County and Queens, the walls have some weird squiggly line with a round thing at the end... looks like sperm or something. Who the hell thought of THAT design? Was it a collaboration? Did a bunch of people sit around a table, drawing sketches on pieces of paper till someone stood up and said, "Hey! How about this?" ...(holding up sperm drawing)... everyone chimes in, "Great idea, Tom!" and "Brilliant!" along with "Perfect design for NY-ers!".
No, I don't have a pic of said sperm design.
