What I love is how that guy (the one in the jacket and cap, not the cat-owner) looks like a refugee from 1977. Jeez, people, at least use a photo that was taken recently! ---

I saw pictures of that guy in front of other infamous disasters too. I forget where, but I also saw a picture of him standing in front of the Concorde crash in France. ---

speaking of strange things arriving via email… did anyone else get this one? Patriotic Duty \> \> In the wake of recent events, the President has asked that we unite for a common cause. Money, flag raising and other patriotic efforts are not enough. \> As you may know, “hard line” Islamic followers cannot stand nudity, especially female nudity. They consider it a sin to see a naked woman who is not their wife. \> Thus, tonight at 7:00, all women should run out of their house naked in an effort to weed out those terrorists. \> The United States appreciates your efforts, and applauds you. God bless America. this did give me a bit of a laugh. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seen-that-picture-of-the-tourist-atop-the-wtc-plane-in-background/83745.md?page=1)
