I was going to guess corsetry.

No no, it's not normally like that, she's sucking it in as hard as she can. My little brother can do that, not quite that extreme but close.

I used to be able to do that, when I was a teenager. To a pretty similar degree.

Then I started fighting, and filled out big.

And, since this is the WTF IMAGES thread, I'm going to post an image. You should, too!

Needs a macro lens for this one!

This must be a requirement for new recruits!

A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.

The association in this 200-home subdivision 270 miles southwest of Denver has sent a letter to her saying that residents were offended by the sign and the board "will not allow signs, flags etc. that can be considered divisive."

The subdivision's rules say no signs, billboards or advertising are permitted without the consent of the architectural control committee.

Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association, ordered the committee to require Jensen to remove the wreath, but members refused after concluding that it was merely a seasonal symbol that didn't say anything. Kearns fired all five committee members.

XXXXX XX XXXXX and good will towards XXX Americans.

I find the ugly wall of the house more offensive then the wreath!

I took this one this morning on our way back to Houston. This sign has been up for as long as I can rembember as you enter Hondo, Texas.

Someone in my town keeps putting up a really official looking road sign which says "Welcome to _____. Bend over and grab your ankles."

I guess the city keeps removing them and someone keeps putting up more.

Look closely

Well, it's nice to know my gramma's couch is safe from Terrorists!

I find it interesting that an expression of Peace on Earth could in any way be considered a divisive or political statement, especially at this time of year. What does this say about the radical bent our nation has taken these past, um, six years or so?

whoops

funny last couple pages of photos

I used to live in Hondo, Texas, about 10 years ago. Then we moved to Castroville, then back to Georgia. We lived in Texas about 3 years.

The hand art stuff is great. Don't stop at the linked page, but go on to the artist's site. Really great stuff there.

So now Satan is the Prince of Peace? Has Christianity in America really gone that far astray?

It's been there for a long, long time, in a lot of places.

It's the kind of result you get when you actively reject rational thought of all kinds.

That being said, this is the WTF Images thread, and so I post images. You should too!

The clownhead pic seems as though it might have come from that set taken at the defunct Russian amusement park we saw here some time back.

I so want that clownhead.

probably the coolest thing I've seen here:
 

Does anyone have a general idea where those russian amusement park pics are? I did a search to no avail. I love that kind of stuff!

It was posted by user: John. Do an advanced search, in the images forum, display hits as posts (not threads).

Edit: Also, the word "giant" will be in the text of the post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Did you find it yet?

I'm an ignoranamus...let me try again.

Here

Clownhead not there but I love the pics of the old abandoned roller coaster in the fog. Really cool.

Thanks, Mr Flint.

Edited to add: How did you know the word giant was in the post? Was this what you call an opportunity for learning? :)

I love the kitties

Actually, it's not a Photoshop image. That looks way too good to be real life. It's a landscape rendered in Terragen.

I used to put play with Terragen fairly often (although I never did anything that good), and the sun in that image resembles the suns in a few of the scenes that I've rendered.

Some very nice pictures on that site, pity that the info given about them is almost all wrong (pedantic Meteorology student :D)

Are you sure this isn't real? Because Mount Shasta throws off some really cool lenticular clouds in real life. And I'm fairly sure that is the main peak of Shasta in that pic.

I think the storm cloud pictures come from Extreme Instability. http://www.extremeinstability.com/

Those aren't lenticular clouds over Mt. Shasta. It's an alien space craft.

And you people think you're so scientifically enlightened!

Sheesh!

That is cool. That guy Batman and Robin are trying to save looks almost REAL! Not to mention the fine detail of his surroundings.

I'm constantly amazed!

Cheese and rice...what do I have to do to get a laugh around here. That's darn funny!!!!!:cool:

It's easier to understand rotated 180 degrees.

I want one!

Do you want fries with that?
Oh sorry, not a Friday IOTD...

Comic book propaganda from WWII...

Ah, for the simpler days when racist propaganda was still politically correct.

Nice.:D
I want the gun mounted on this though... I can't use a scooter, can't have my arms out like that.
Thanks for the link, some time ago, Bruce...

The Segway's big brother that was on the Dean Kamen episode of the Colbert Report would be pretty cool, too.

Not really so WTF, Bruce. I bet some of the locals will be heading south on vacation.

BTW, we were at Newport on vacation this last summer. I remember walking by that shop -- multiple times. My daughters have discovered clothes as a hobby.

Uncle Virgil gets to babysit his nephew

Wouldn't that be niece? Unless they dress boys in pink where Uncle Virgil is from.

This ran in the NY Times 2 days ago. The guy on the left is the Governor to be, seems he has a fixation on somebody's earlobe! ;)

From a Christian jewellery site. This is the card that comes with the "purity" signet ring set you buy as a gift for your teenage son.

It's not WTF in that you can tell what it is for, just WTF anyway imo.
