Best WTF photo of the all

I think this is a repost but it is my favorite WTF photo. Study this for a while, it is just strange. Men wearing bras, bread on the stomach. What is that on their heads and in their mouths?

GH85Carrera - that picture is part of an effort to get back at those who initiate the Nigerian scams of late (AKA 419 scams). Folks got them to do all sorts of stupid poses, and those guys thought they were getting a sucker to buy into their scam.

Here's another similar shot:


See here for more interesting poses....

I figured there was a reason for those poses. I just did not know what. Pretty funny.

I believe the forward facing end is lets say 2 x 4 but tapered. The far end is 2 x 4 but rolled 90 deg. and tapered. Then the hard part proper camera alignment. I've seen things like this in puzzle books. I believe that you have to look from a very specific angle to make the elution work. The screws are there to screw with you eyes.

The funny part to me is which is greater:
The time the person spent creating the illusion VS the time people spend trying to figure out the illusion.
Fact: It's simply an illusion no matter how it was created...
