The Changi chairs phenomenon is a rare combination of tiredness, nostalgia, hunger, and a keen eye for shapes and colors. It is most notably experienced by kids so young it is impossible to detect, but every once in a while a poor Indian graduate student encounters the strange feeling that every set of chairs he sees has been blessed by the angel of creativity. Quite often the poor Indian graduate student also has access to a camera, using which (as shown by Freak et al.) it is possible to document raw impressions of the experience.

The first documented case of this condition was reported by one such student in the January of 2009. Here are the original uncensored photographs from the incident which took place at the Changi International Airport (SIN). No one knows who this student was, and what happened to him. Legend is he disappeared amongst a pile of books on probability one cold homework night. But there's no way to be sure. See for yourself:
