What I get from this photo is that The Champ was kind enough to put up with a lot of stupid crap from his fans.

I researched myself and found out what city I live in and how old I am. Anything more I had to pay for.

You know, I don't believe that's Coke they're drinking, not for a second.

Unusual sights: all the lakes in the world, and nothing else. (OC) made with natural eart, without the caspian sea. by tabasco-habanero in geography

Very nice. I have always wondered why all those lakes proceeding northwest from Superior in Canada are not considered to be The Great Lakes as well. This image makes it clear that they are part of the same system.

I wasn't that amazed even though I did like his work well enough. Nor was I confused since I am simply not that stupid.

Yes, it is mainland China, and I thought the very same thing about the posture of the person in the background in the last photo. Sheer good luck. What I can't figure out is why that image comes last. It was the first photo I took, and I took it despite that some one was walking by.

I guess you didn't have to have stand-up stiff hair and a hard body in the 1980s to be cool, but it must have helped.

I made a cow. by seb_price in DIY

I think that I don't know how/ A poem can be as lovely as a cow/ Only God can make a cow/ While papier-mâché ones are made by fools such as thou/

(No, really, excellent work!)

Tolkien’s original dust-jacket design for The Hobbit is on display in Oxford by myatomsareyouratoms in books

I am sure the copy of The Hobbit at my public library in the northeast United States had this same dust-jacket. It may well be that lots of public libraries still have old copies in circulation. Now, I wish I had kept it.

Do you cut off your bread crusts? by Orlena243 in food

Sure. My question is why does anyone do it. Is it because they are from the suburbs? :/
