I think it is $21 per month or something. We have to have it for our business, so I have the current version.

This one honestly made me laugh out loud. I have done hundreds of Photoshop jobs for customers. Mostly removing ex husbands or head transplants when one photo has them with eyes closed and everyone else looks good in a group photo. Removing wrinkles in old ladies is common. That photo above is funny!

I assume you guys are aware, but this is a guy that's well known for this sort of thing. People post pics and ask him to make edits. His edits are generally done like the genie does wishes. Careful what you wish for.

His stuff is always funny, except for a few which are much, much better.

He's actually got a bunch of these as well. Kudos to the guy for recognizing this sort of thing and handling it differently.

The SS Meteor was launched as the SS Frank Rockefeller in 1896. The last remaining of only 44 “whaleback” ships ever built, she was designed by a Scottish immigrant named Alexander McDougall. She is 380 feet long, 45 feet wide and 26 feet deep. This ship was designed to meet the specific requirements for shipping in the frigid choppy waters of the Great Lakes and for traveling through the shallow locks at Sault St. Marie.
McDougall’s innovative ships earned the name “whaleback” for their cigar-shaped steel hulls which rode very low in the water when loaded with cargo. This low profile was an attempt to make them more stable than other vessels. The Meteor also has a system of turrets, or rounded rooms, on her deck, which allowed the crew to move between decks and machinery spaces without letting water inside. Her unique design allowed the Meteor to be remodeled for a number of different uses. The whalebacks were also built with flat bottoms for more hauling capacity, and a conical bow and stern for improved hydrodynamics. Rounded decks allowed waves to wash over much of the ship instead of pounding against the bulwarks as they would on a conventional steamer.
Although no whalebacks were built after 1898, many of them continued to travel the lakes for decades before they were scrapped for various reasons.

In 1960 a CIA Lockheed U-2 flown by Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union during an aerial reconnaissance overflight codenamed Operation GRAND SLAM.
In an attempt to cover up the overflight, a U-2 was painted in NASA colors and presented as a weather aircraft. Unaware that Powers was still alive and in Soviet hands, a story that the pilot might have fallen unconscious while the auto pilot was engaged was fabricated. This story was spread through the press.
Day later Soviet Premier Khrushchev, proceeded to unveil this ruse by announcing that not only Powers was still alive but that the covert U-2 technologies had mostly survived the crash.
The U-2 program was soon public knowledge.

In June 1992, four farmers in Longyou found the caves when they drained the water of five small ponds in their village. The ponds turned out to be five large manmade caverns. Further investigation revealed 19 more caverns nearby. They have been determined to be more than 2000 years old, and their construction is not recorded in any historical documents.[

"This is the shucking room in a big Baltimore, MD oyster house. Shucking consists merely of removing the shells. This is done by a stroke of a hammer or an oyster knife. This breaks the end of the shell and the two parts are pried apart. The shells drop in heaps on the floor and the oysters, are put into pails or vats. Most of this work, as you see, is done by women. The shucked oysters then go to the packing room. In the packing room the oysters may be put into large cans for shipping, or they may be put into smaller cans and sealed.”
