Nice.
If it weren’t for Sean Hannity, I’d get cable back just to watch that show.
I don’t think that family is quite so cleancut as they at first might seem.
Anyway… I’ve preserved the photos in this thread, as discussed - they can be found here:

Also, I think the barn photo is real - unfortunately, the version with the legs can’t be found any more, but I thought they looked pasted on. Furthermore, there’s another view of the building here:
(This thread should really be bumped to MPSIMS…)
I agree. I think the GQ aspects were resolved some time ago.
Have at it.

squid? I never thought of a squid.
Hmmm.
anom.
I second the motion. MPSIMS? Anyone want the task of posting a starting pic each week?
I can’t actually do this stuff, but I sure enjoy looking at them.
Guess what’s for dinner. Mmm-boy!
The one in the OP has two support beams that are not in that picture.
Those look like they might be pipes of some kind - rather than supports - in which case they might have been added or removed between shots.
Clearly some more detective work is required here - I can’t quite work out whether it’s established that any of these photos are independent of the others.
The one with the legs at the protruding edge, though, looked suspect to me from the moment I saw it, and it’s gone now. That doesn’t mean I think it’s definitely fake - I’m aware of how difficult it is to tell real from fake nowadays,
I’ve seen lots of abandoned barns with timbers swiped, many looking unlikely to stand in a breeze, but they do.
Yes, we’ve clearly established that it’s a real eroded farmhouse in Missouri. In fact, it was a photo taken by a member.
It’s the Jesus horse thing that has us all confused.
I think that the translated Russian is accurate in that it was being demolished at the time. The two beams seem to be missing by the guy on the page that the translations were on. The picture was the exact same one as one of the pictures without those two supports. They both were the same sized file in bytes.
I also enjoy the carton drawings that have accompanied accident threads and the like.
I dunno. I wouldn’t trust anything anybody says about it (including me) - there are just too many clearly speculative stories floating around, for example:
-That it looks this way because of topsoil erosion (if true, what are those hopper/funnel things there for?)
-That it was constructed for the cult film Kin-dza-dza! (if this is true, that scene must have been cut from the final movie - which seems unlikely since it’s 135 minutes long and isn’t exactly tight on the action)
I don’t have Photoshop either… I have to say, this thread is one of the reasons I pay my dues every year. Drop. Dead. Funny.
