Very interesting. Where were those pictures taken?

Oh, OW, my head _hurts!_ :smack:

Nicely ironic, I think.

9/10 for photography buffs.

Are you planning on adding pictures people send to you?

For genuinely interesting articles on just about anything check out [zReportage](http://www.zreportage.com/MainPage.shtml)–it’s updated every Tuesday.

[This](http://419eater.com/index.htm) site has been entertaining me for the past couple of days. Until I stumbled upon this one, I had no idea people went to such great lengths to torture and annoy email scammers. Nor did I know what great lengths the email scammers will go to make a scam successful (some of them actually got tattoos at the “victim’s” request!).

I also have to second the suggestion to try [Stumbling](http://www.stumbleupon.com/). It is very addictive and there’s always something new to look at unless you do stumble too much and get into a rut seeing the same three sites over and over again.

I’ve heard that if you look really hard, it’s possible to find pictures of naked ladies on the internet.

You’ll probably look really hard _after_ you find the pictures of naked ladies too. 😃

No. My friend thought I should start a domain with just stuff like that. I think the joke would get old fast though.

It even starts to get old after 14 pictures. 😃

I do want to add one more picture - About the Author.

“This is a picture the author took of himself taking a picture of a webpage about pictures he took of people taking pictures.”
