I’ve not seen that movie, but there is a diagram for an origami unicorn, that was supposedly in that movie, at http://cgi.linkclub.or.jp/~null/unicorn/unicorn2.html

I adapted St. George’s horse, in my avatar, from that design.

The creepy detective in Blade Runner leaves an origami as calling card. I need to see this movie again. I hated it when i saw it (grieving from the death of our dog at the time), but all my memories of it are pretty cool. Except for the sappy ending.

Oh, and has anybody read the original story? I think it’s called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, which i think is a great title.

whistling: can get you beat up by school bullies.
origami: can get you beat up by school bullies.

Whistling: Should not be done while driving.
Origami: Definitely should not be done while driving!

Mountain Climbing: May be dangerous if done by oneself.
Origami: Not dangerous if done by oneself.
Whistling: May be dangerous if not done by oneself!

There are a few endings floating around, check out the ‘director’s cut’. BR is Ridley Scott’s masterpiece. The book was written by Phillip K. Dick (he also wrote Gov. Arnold’s ‘Total Recall’)
Walden, your avatar is what made me me think of BR, it does look like the unicorn.

Yes. And Minority Report. I like Phiilip Dick. The writer, i mean, and the stuff he wrote. Oh bother! :blush:

P. K. Dick’s book “Valis” was an interesting if picaresque read -suggestively autobiographical, as the protagonist’s name was Horselover Fat (Phillip=horse fancier, from the Greek, and Dick=fat, from the German). If you like travelogues into struggles with mental illness, that one might entertain on a rainy day.

Or not.

I don’t recall any origami (or whistles, for that matter) in the book.

I really need to get my graphics fixed. I thought this thread said "Whistling compared to ORGASMS!!! Was thinking you really can’t compare the two..

Oh well…never mind :slight_smile:

Whistling :can leave you out of breath
Orgasms : can leave you out of breath

Whistling: uses a six-hole flute
Genital origami: uses a one-hole trouser flute

The ancient art of Australian genital origami

Puppetry of the penis

Hmmmmmm…

StevieJ, go lie down by your dish.

Whistling: can be played with mandolin
Origami: can be displayed with mandolin

Cue Kenny Rogers’ voice:

“You’ve got to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them . . .”

:smiley:

…and your dish, too, DCrom.

Whistling: Laughing Whistle
Origami: “where’s my copyright?”

Highly recommended.

The strangest thing about Puppetry of the Penis is not that it existed in the first place, although that is strange, or that it became a Broadway show, which is very strange, but that when the creators of the show decided to go on tour with it, they held auditions and found replacements for the Broadway version.

I would have thought it was unique to the two gentlemen who started it, but apparantly any Dick or Willie with an Actors’ Equity card and the requisite lack of modesty can be trained in the art of organgami. Though I bet I could muster up “The Armless Centurion” or “The Toadstool,” and perhaps “The Leaning Tower of Pisa,” the thought of further folding and, uh, manipulation leads me straight to “The Scared Turtle.”

It’s probably best that I leave at least one layer of combed cotton and one layer of corduroy between my potential Broadway star and the world.

Here’s an insect that I folded, which was a little simpler:
