This Is Just Great
This is a hot dog stand in Jerusalem. It’s probably a 40 minute walk from the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. Just makes it that much better.

Great Picture
I saw this picture hanging on the wall in the lobby of my faculty, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. My biostatistics TA, Rony-Reuven Nir, took it. It’s fantastic.
These other pics I received in an email chain about 10 years ago. The subject ran something like great pics of the year, but I don’t have the original email. They’re also incredible. Posted below the pictures are the explanations as I got them.
Pilot Ron Candiloro breaks through the sound barrier in an F/A-18 Homet fighter plane over the Pacific Ocean on July 7. The cloud ball effect is caused when forward sound waves squeeze moisture in the air.
Black sun – the last solar eclipse of the millennium is seen in this multiple exposure photograph as it appeared from the famous Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, on Aug 11.
Falling for colour – hundreds of cars jam a road in Nikko, Japan on Nov 3, as drivers slow down to admire the colourfully tinted leaves of autumn.
Singers perform on a giant stage on Lake Constance during a rehearsal of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera ‘Ein Maskenball’ on July 15. The design of the stage in the lake shows ‘Death’ reading the book of life.

11 Photos Where Black People Were Awkwardly Photoshopped In or Out
For some reason, black people and white people still don’t seem to like taking photographs together.
Which makes it awfully difficult when a magazine, newspaper or brochure wants to demonstrate diversity.
I dug around the Internet for the best pictures I could find where a black person was either blatantly Photoshopped in or out. Here are the 11 funniest and most absurd ones I found. (Huge, preemptive dap goes out to the brilliant blog Photoshop Disasters, who pointed me to almost half of these.)
1. Photoshopped diversity in Toronto. Our first entry is the most recent one… this comes from a summer fun guide that Toronto published last month. A spokesman said they “superimposed the African-Canadian person onto the family … [with] the goal to depict the diversity of Toronto.”
They made the change because of a new policy in Toronto where the city manager mandated the staff always try to represent the cultural mix of residents.
And, according to Kevin Sack, Toronto’s director of strategic communications, awkwardly plopping a miscellaneous black guy into a photo is sometimes an acceptable substitute for, ya know, actually having races mingle. Sack told reporters, “The policy doesn’t say Photoshop, the policy says ’show diversity’ … [but] when you’re publishing something with deadlines and you don’t have the right photo, the objective is to communicate the service.”
2. Curves cereal. If you’re an overweight black woman, listen up: Not only does Curves cereal help you lose your belly… it turns it white! (And belly button-less, like Kyle XY.)

Lion Dog
If you thought having a pitbull would keep out intruders, try shaving your dog like a lion.
