Ran when parked, some minor rust. No low ball offers!


IWO JIMA.
Original caption: JAPANESE DUGOUT -- Cpl. Emil Morris Jr of Sedalia, Mo., stands ready with camera at entrance to former Japanese observation post on Iwo Jima. Ceiling is constructed of salvaged Japanese plane wings. Corridor and stairs lead down to a buried Japanese bomber fuselage.


IWO JIMA.
Original caption: A Bulldozer moves the dirt at the first bend on the road to the summit of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands. The construction of the road was started by the 32nd Marine SeaBees about fourteen days after D-Day (19 February 1945) and on the first day a bulldozer reached the top of the mountain. Six days later a two lane road was roughly finished, Since 1891 when the Japanese started development of the island they failed to or were unable to construct a road of any kind for vehicular passage to the summit. 10 March 1945. (N.A.)




Punk of the turtle world: the Mary River turtle. This exceptional animal breathes underwater using specialized glands in its reproductive organs, allowing it to remain submerged for up to 72 hours – an unusual feature in a reptile, which earned it the name "bum-breather".

Not that we and the Seabees aren't awesome, but had the Japanese tried to build a road to the summit?

I'm no expert, but I think breathing through your reproductive organs is just unusual, whether we're talking about reptiles or not. I'm glad that I don't breath through my reproductive organs for so many reasons.

^ It gets hard to breathe when looking at the Most Beautiful Women thread. An inhaler helps.

Yuck. That is one messed up foot! That poor lady had her foot bound all her life. I can't imagine the pain.


The fasces, a bound bundle of sticks sometimes with a projecting axe is a symbol that goes back to the ancient Etruscans. The ancient Romans adopted it as a symbol of power for appointed magistrates. Today it is still used as a symbol of power and collective governance.
