二十年目睹之怪現狀

二 = 一 : Mnemonic symbol: a capacitor, because the two strokes remind me of the symbol in electrical drawings. Albert Einstein (Ø) is experimenting with a capacitor (二) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He finds that it's uncomfortable to discharge a capacitor using two flutes (一).

十 = 一 + 丨 : Mnemonic symbol: a holy cross. Sherlock Holmes (sh-) is investigating a very strange thing he found in the kitchen of the space station (-2): A big pyramid made of ten (十) crosses (十), which are in turn made out of flutes (一) and dinosaur bones (丨).

年 = 午 + 丨 + 一 : Nefertiti (ni) is having lunch (午) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). Unfortunately they didn't have any cutlery left so she has to use a dinosaur bone (丨) and a flute (一) instead of fork and knife. It will take her a whole year (年) to finish her lunch this way.

目 = 囗 + 二 : Mnemonic symbol: the Eye of Providence (目). Malte Monkey (mu-) is unpacking a wooden box (囗) full of capacitors (二). He's afraid that the Eye of Providence (目) will see him, so he does it secretly in the space station's bathroom (-Ø4).

睹 = 目 + 者 : The Eye of Providence (目) is witnessing with its own eye (睹) the Sun King (者) making out with Doggy Dog (du) in the space station (Ø3).

睹 = 目 + 者 : The Eye of Providence (目) is witnessing with its own eye (睹) the Sun King (者) making out with Doggy Dog (du) in the space station (Ø3).

之 = 丶 + Z : Mnemonic symbol: Sooo sleepy... "zZz" (the character looks like a "Z"). James II of England (zh) fell asleep in front of the space station (Ø1). He sleeps on a big petal leaf (丶), making loud "zZz" (之) sounds.

怪 = 圣 + 忄 : Gitta Giraffe meets Father Christmas in the airplane's bathroom. She finds it rather bewildering that instead of a sack full of presents he holds a big flail. He also looks kind of grumpy, almost like a big monster.

现 = 王 + 见 : Martin Luther King has a project in which he wants to document the current state of the nation. He has a surveillance camera put up in the anthill's bathroom and interviews Marie Curie about her views about the present time.

状 = 丬 + 犬 : Julian Giant Squid plays fetch with the St Bernard in the anglepod's bathroom, but just as he throws a piece of wood it disintegrates into a cloud of sawdust. The St Bernard dog is very annoyed and accuses Julian Giant Squid of having it done on purpose to tease him.
