In a similar vein to the china girl, pro photographers set their lighting and cameras based on reference material. They usually get tossed, but this is the internet: there’s a place for everything to get saved:

Sadly, this would be difficult to do with an ottoman:

I can understand the sentimental value, but, kids, it’s time one of you ponied up and bought dear ‘ol Dad a real cane:

“REWARD!

Dear ‘ol Dad has misplaced his old field hockey stick he uses for his cane. It has very little monetary value. But HUGE sentimental value. Please help us find it for him.

Please call xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxxx

Thank-you! The Reward is very generous!

There has been an upset in the world of dogs: the previous Ugliest Dog in the World has been replaced by this guy:

Maybe I’m just a dog lover, but I think the guy above is cute — the previous winner was downright terrifying. Sorry about that…here, have a cutest dog in the world to cleanse your palate.

The concept meeting started out fine, electing to use interesting stock photos, relevant to corporate and industrial law, to give the website a polished feel. After the wine coolers began to flow, the designers felt something was missing: an iconic, readily identifiable object.

Lack of proper Giant Olive safety procedures left fifty three construction workers dead that fateful day.

I’m just a bill, yes, I’m only a bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill. Well, it’s a long, long journey to the capital city. It’s a long, long wait while I’m sitting in committee, but I know I’ll be a law someday — at least I hope and pray that I will…but today I am still just a bill.

(note that I sorted photos in terms of size, to make it look like they were growing and about to consume the earth.)

Although, I beg to differ: a Dalek on keytar trumps cybermen guitarists. Sontarans with tambourines are somewhere in between the two, I think.

Why is it funny? Tragedy, bananas, and funny-looking dogs in human situations. It’s a perfect storm of comedy!

A team of five — five — Guinness Book of World Records adjudicators were on hand in Swansea, South Wales, to count Smurfs:

The record, of which there is one already, was broken by 2,510 blue-painted college students; the previous record of around 1,200 was originally held by the Irish, who were unaware of their record because they were more concerned about letting the color-blind guy buy body paint last St Patrick’s Day.
