Glen,
May I suggest putting a link to the previous Random pics thread in your first post? For the sake continuation.
That way it does not disappear into oblivion and is easily found when needed.




All of a sudden my pics are oriented sideways?
Never had that happen before. :s

Taken with an IPhone? Not uncommon. Save to a folder. Open with MS Paint if using windows and rotate as needed and re-save.

I went to a Shakey's pizza in Sapporo, Japan in the early/mid 80s. (this isn't a pic that I took or necessarily, the same place.

It's from the tv series Dexter. The good protagonist serial killer who kills serial killers.
Wraps them in plastic on the table first, showing them pics of their victims.

I had no idea this was a thing. I'd never heard of it. According to Wikipedia, it's one of the largest draws of tourists in AZ. I've got to think that's a little bit of a statistician's magic to make that the case, but who knows.
Been on and under that bridge many times. Even stayed in the bridge hotel a timer two.
the bridge is CLAD in the original granite stone from London to make it look the same, but it was built from scratch to resemble the original one.
Guy named McCulloch from chainsaw and outboard motor fame did it to draw people to the city he was trying to build and sell.
It worked.
Ya know they built that bridge o n dry land and then dredged out the channel under it afterwards.

Almost got arrested fer driving a small houseboat under that bridge one time, I did not know my friend's stripper girlfriend was on the roof of the boat showing everything to everyone.
but that's a different thread.

Wikipedia said that the original all stone version in London was sinking and weighed something like 330,000 tons, but that the rebuild of it using the original stones from England only weighed 30,000 tons because it was cladding on a steel frame.

Weird and cool.
