Ancient Croatian road. Pretty cool for 7,000 years ago.

I guess great minds think alike.

You don't suppose that Hunter and the big guy were involved.

There are not many McDonald's Arches left.

I drove past this one in Winter Haven, Florida a couple weeks ago. It was a surprise. The depressed middle-aged McDonald's reminded me of this.

This is one of the 12 McDonald's locations in the United States that still sport that vintage sign after all these years.

There's one with the original "hamburger man" logo in addition to the singular arch in PA. Used to live right by it. I believe what that means is that the location owns both the land and the business.

Gardiner was still performing as a steeplejack as late as 1926, whereupon he suddenly disappeared. It is said that a man matching his description was found beaten and deceased in Paris France at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in 1933. But it’s unknown whether it was actually Gardiner, or just an unlucky tourist.

@jon, that video has been the groundwork for countless memes in the last week or so.

I've seen lots of pictures of weird looking fish, but I've never seen this one. It would be hard to kill it. Like killing a person. And then Fishhead soup...

Me too, ditto on Rainman. Probably anthropomorphizing, but it also seems very benign. And the man looks comfortable with pushing it around here and there. Almost like the two have a relationship.
