Huh

I am looking at wall art online for the master bathroom and every wall sculpture/plaque I can find with birds flying on it has the flying to the left. Why?

(Naturally I think flying to the right would look better because if they flew to the left they would be flying into the closet instead of out the window)

I can see some with right-flying birds, e.g. this one (http://www.homedecorators.com/detail.php?sku=9215000210&aid=google.push&cm_mmc=SEM%7CHDC%7CG%7CPLA&gclid=CN-Q5ta5yccCFUgWHwodNfcLAg&kwid=productads-plaid^18283950120-sku^9215000210-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^48395090659).

Cool, thanks!

We just might end up going with this group of herons or egrets (http://www.nfm.com/DetailsPage.aspx?productid=43284819) instead, even though they're all facing left. Toby pointed out that the walls of the bathroom are a dark red and the pale bodies of the birds would stand out better.

What I really fell in love with was the idea of pale-colored fish that I could put on the wall in a school, looking like you were looking down at them swimming, namely these (http://www.nfm.com/list.aspx?dsNav=N:0,Ntk:primary|fish%20buttermilk|1|,Ro:0,Ns:p_is_bestseller|101|-1|&dsDS=D:fish%20buttermilk,Dxm:All,Dxp:3&dsCDS=D:fish%20buttermilk,Dxm:All,Dxp:3&fromsearch=true&q=fish%20buttermilk&clickTracking=true). But the shipping weight on just ONE was 26 pounds, and even though we've got these uber-strong wall anchors, I still didn't relish the thought of the fish falling off and shattering in the tub.

And then Toby looked at the wall color and said "Swimming in a pool of BLOOD" and that annoyed me. XD

I think those weights have to be wrong. For one thing, all three fish have exactly the same weight listed even though they are different sizes. For another, the middle one appears to weigh about half a pound per cubic inch, which if my calculations are correct means it is somewhat denser than lead.

I wonder if it's the weight of the box that a bunch are shipped in? (Or just the weight from another item altogether)

I've seen other retailers (e.g. Amazon) make the box/item mistake before. 26.46 lbs is just about exactly 12 kg, which is suggestive.

Sadly I cannot get their site to load at all now so I can't look at anything else.
