What?

No place to post the amazing photos that we come across while surfing the web?

Polly Roberts, a member of the staff at auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh, Scotland, models a pair of Victorian ear trumpets made from papier mache and worn like headphones, at the auction house Thursday, Sept. 4, 2003. Ear trumpets were first used by sailors in order to communicate over long distances, but experts are at a loss to explain who would have used this 19th century rarity, which will go up for sale later in September.

BERLIN (Reuters) - More than 3,000 dogs have paraded through central Berlin in a demonstration by owners for more rights and public tolerance.

A number of the dogs in the parade that snarled traffic throughout the centre of the German capital were wearing costumes.

One German shepherd was wearing a bumblebee outfit and two others were dressed as nuns.

A bulldozer scoops up smashed idols of the Hindu elephant-headed god Ganesh along Marina beach in Madras, India. The idols were immersed by devotees during the 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival celebrated across India.

You'd be bored silly too, if you had to watch the 37-104 Detroit Tigers on Dog Day at Toronto's SkyDome.

Thanks spongeg, I wasn't aware of the obvious, that one can actually post *real* photographs here.

The other passengers were horrified when the Bootsn'All forum member carried an obviously overloaded backpack onto the ferry.
