Hold on, is that Dan Marino with the Road Warriors? If it is, that would make them at least 6'7 in that picture. I'm confused.

There's a website where you can order really expensive replica skeletons and skulls of animals... I now want a walrus skull in my lobby (I don't have a lobby)

Skulls Unlimited! You can buy replicas or genuine articles of almost every non-endangered animal, including human skulls in a selection of quality! I haven't actually browsed the site in years, but last I was there you could buy fetus skulls if you were planning on becoming an evil wizard or something.

Not a picture, but video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wQLEKw0Nkc Australian National Championship 1956, 1500m run. This guy stopped and helped another competitor who fell down, then proceeded to catch up with everyone else, won the race, and beat the world record.

The shot that nearly killed me: War photographers a special report  The Guardian did a features where they asked war photographers to nominate "the shot that nearly killed me" and talk about it. Some of the photos are amazingly badass in themselves (many are gruesome, be warned) but the stories that accompany them and just the fact that a journalist went into those situations to take the photos is just mindboggling. Take this as an example: Joćo Silva, Afghanistan, October 2010  Joćo Silva posted:I'd been in Afghanistan for a month when I stepped on the landmine. I was the third man in line, and as I put my foot down, I heard a metallic click and I was thrown in the air. I knew exactly what had happened. As the soldiers dragged me away from the kill zone, I took these pictures. When people around me have been hurt or killed, I've recorded it. I had to keep working. The soldiers were yelling for the medics. I knew my legs had gone, so I called my wife on the satellite phone and told her not to worry. The pain came later, back in intensive care, when infections set in and they nearly lost me a couple of times. He kept shooting photos even though his legs had just been blown off by a mine. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

dinozombiesgoRARR posted:The shot that nearly killed me: War photographers a special report JESUS. CHRIST. Y'know, I think of people like this whenever I hear anti-war dickheads in GBS complain about every soldier or military-related individual being dumb and bloodthirsty. Most soldiers hate what they do. My father was in Vietnam and it ruined him -- the guilt, the pain, the memories, they ravaged him right up until the day he died. He didn't enjoy what he had to do. Despite being a Fox News-watching conservative, even he bitched about the war and the needless, senseless waste of life. He knew that it wasn't the military's fault, but that of the lying fat sacks of human waste that control the military -- our government. "We all live on this ball of mud," he used to say to me. "We have to get along." Saint Sputnik posted:I just teared up reading the obituary of Chris Hondros, one of two photojournalists killed in Libya in April. He had a fiance.

I meant the kind of person who equates "soldier" with "inhuman murder machine that also loves to rape" instead of "person who does a lovely, morally questionable job but who has little to no say in the matter".
