Anybody got one of Disaster Guy on the set of Waterworld? 🙂 A friend of mine suggested Disaster Guy be put in one of the historical scenes from Forrest Gump. [sub]I would do them, but I’m still learning my way around PhotoShop.[/sub] ---

Those all made me smile, but **Libertarian** had the one I LOL’d at. Brilliantly done! [ANAL]Did anyone else notice some of the dates were wrong? The dated Mt. St. Helens photo was off by two months, and the dated Kennedy assassination photo was off by a year.[/ANAL] Does anyone know who the guy really is? Seems like it would be simple enough to discover. ---

The second link in this thread, **Bricker** , has Mt. St. Helens erupting in July, not May, 1980 and the Kennedy assassination happening in '64, not '63. ---

[November 22, 1963 was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.](http://www.encyclopedia.com/articles/06898Assassination.html) 1964 is an important year in American coinage, because it was the last year in which American coins were made with a large percentage of silver. 1964 was also the first year that the half-dollar coin had Kennedy’s face on it. So the 1964 Kennedy half-dollar was the _only_ Kennedy half-dollar to ever be composed almost entirely of silver. It was in May, 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blowed up reeeal goooood. ---

Great stuff! This guy sees more disasters than Christiane Amanpour. I’m surprised he hasn’t seen Nessie yet. Or was trackside when Earnhardt crashed (he’s number 8, isn’t he?) ---

No one is really sure, but some claim to have seen him with [Nessie](http://www.ourdawson.com/swish/lochness.jpg). (Earnhardt, God rest his soul, was number 3.) ---
