I just had the weirdest conversation with the owner of Flanagans Furniture in Bray. When I pointed out that his photograph was actually a man crying as German tanks rolled in to Paris during WW2 [or something equally poignant] he shrugged and said “well we don’t mean it like that”

Yikes.

A family photo, still crumpled from being stuffed inside the pocket of a space suit, left on the Descartes highlands of the moon and photographed beside an imprint of his own foot by astronaut Charles Duke in 1972.

One presumes that both the photo and the footprint are still there, forty years on. As far as we know, it hasn’t rained.

John Smith (Ka-Be-Nah-Gwey-Wence), a Chippewa Indian from Cass Lake, Minnesota, photographed when he was supposedly 129 years old.

When 129 years old you are, look as awesome your schnozz will not.
