> [@Leaffan](#): > > [Squareeed away.](http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/4686326/Einstein+s+Epiphany/) Ha! For some reason, I’m sure I’ve seen that before and I subconsciously thought of it when I posted last… ---

The photo you liked was in his house for years. Why was your grandfather there? What was the occasion? ---

Thanks, excellent collection of images. > [@Colibri](#): > > Being Argentinian, he’s [drinking mate](http://oasiscollections.com/homepage/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Mate-tea-Argentina-600x400.jpg) … I love that it took exactly one post to correct this. > [@terentii](#): > > **These pictures** blew me away when I first saw them ten years ago: [http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia\_in\_color\_a\_century\_ago.html](http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html) Notice that, in photo 32, the man poses in a way that suggests that he’s ready to kill and _the woman seems to be leaning away from him_. > [@terentii](#): > > That Hillary was a cute little bit o’ stuff back in the day, eh? 😉 Bill seems to be concealing a similar impression. > [@SaharaTea](#): > > That photo of Mussolini’s headquarters in Rome creeps me out big time. Me too, but you gotta admire Italian design. > [@RealityChuck](#): > > The guy on the left was my grandfather. Looking fabulous, as well (with all respect to this guy you say is your grandfather). Among my favorites: “The unbroken seal on King Tut’s tomb.” The thrill of peeling the protective film from the screen of a new electronic device pales in comparison. “Dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989.” Hard to say if there’s more art or journalism. The photo of the shell-shocked reindeer is impressive, too. Guernica, anyone? ---

> [@jerez](#): > > The photo of the shell-shocked reindeer is impressive, too. Guernica, anyone? The airplanes are actually Hawker Hurricanes, possibly ex-RAF. The British sent a number of them to the Soviet Union as part of their mutual aid pact. ---

Winston Churchill…not so much. :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-cool-historical-photos/685887.md?page=1)
