The Wonder of Wanders

I've long been an admirer of Dutch wunderkind Marcel Wanders. I just didn't know it was him I was admiring, until I specifically did a search on his work by name. He's my kind of hero - taking everyday, utilitarian functions and objects and turning them upside down with crazy ideas. If you've spent a lifetime hearing, 'You can't do that, it's insane,' you really understand how hard it is to break out and make a success on a grand scale for doing stuff that's out of the question. It's a continuous battle. This man stuck to his guns time and again and now people commission him to think up the improbable. I wish everyone got it - sadly there are still a vocal majority who don't, yet perversely delight in creativity when they encounter it without seeing the logic that it can be applied anywhere, and will increase productivity and profit alike. 
So here I salute Marcel Wanders, the improbable and impossible realist.
