3. The bear is amazing
I knew it was real because I remember reading about a few years ago. At the time there was another photo that showed its paw. It was at least a foot wide with claws at least 6" long.

The story that goes with it is amazing as well. I'll see if I can dig it up.

That fucking pisses me off.

And then people try to say humans are capable of peace. Pfft.

22. That's the one I missed too.
It looked too out of the scope of reality to be true.

5. 10 outta 10.
I'd seen most of those images already... and even still Jocko's nose freaks me out.

6. That nose isn't nearly as gut-wrenching as his 5 o'clock shadow...
:puke: :scared:

7. 8
I got the deer through the car wrong (I've never seen a deer hit a car, I didn't know they'd go through the windshield). And I got the 87 pound cat wrong.

:D

11. 10/10
I think in #6 the jet isn't actually breaking the sound barrier, just going fast enough to cause the humidity in the air to condense and become visible.

But, it's still a cool pic.

16. I love the car with the wood on top
Edited on Wed Dec-03-03 11:50 PM by ironflange
Not mentioned is that there was also 800 lbs. of concrete mix in the back seat. Home Depot had loaded all this stuff, the guy had insisted, but they made him sign a waiver before they'd do it.

Edit - BTW, I got a 7, missed the bear, Daschle, and the jet. I still think that jet looks phony.

The jet is real. I have seen that effect a number of times.

21. I got 8

I said that tourist guy picture was a hoax, and it said I had it wrong. I missed the jet one too.

On edit: Went back and did it again, and got the tourist guy right, with the same answer as before. Wonder what happened the first time.
