  • wow, that looks spectacular!

  • Haha, you know how much fun that would be to sled down? I would totally do it, too! I mean, come on...that's a perfect sledding hill!
    Read more

  • unbelievable...fantastic capture!
    Read more

  • I've seen those pics. very beautiful, but they are not frozen waves. it's actually glacial ice that's been eroded by wind or sun into a wave like shape. the color and clarity of the ice is the give away.
    check out "Blue Ice" on wikipedia

  • "There's always one who has to ruin it"

    It's either spectacular and beautiful or it is not. Why can't we accept the beauty of a garden without also having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it?

  • No glaciers her or waves that big

  • Does anyone know exactly and with quite certainty where theses photos were taken?
    Read more

  • http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/antarcticwave.asp

    Has info on who took the pics and when. Also explains they aren't frozen waves, as an earlier poster already indicated.

  • Thank you, Helge - info updated.

  • "The Sultan bought the Airbus A340-212 brand new for roughly $100m and had it flown to Waco from the Boeing factory"

    Someone needs to tell the source that no Airbus A340 would be flown "brand new" (or, likely, at any other time) from a Boeing factory. Airbus is a European company, Boeing is American, and they are in perpetual competition.

  • thank you. fixed now

  • Why does the Sultan buy that junk Airbus?
    He should buy Boeing.

  • Every big leader has plane like this one. It's just a matter of international prestige.
    Read more

  • Great pics! Girls and guns!

    I wonder if the departure from this marketing trend can be tied to the decline in auto sales of American manufacturers?
    Read more

  • How sad, when I look at the American cars and European cars, I see why we're such a gas-guzzling nation. There wasn't a single small car in those ads. Not blaming you, that was clearly the trend, and still is. While people came up with cute and sporty small cars in Europe, all we had here were huge monsters. Seems like the folks in Europe had more fun.

  • You're right, the girls are quite lost in the same frame with huge american cars - you can hardly see them in a photo :)

  • I love this post. That red and black 1959 Ford Fairlane is the exact car I have parked in my driveway. I have been restoring it for the past year. Great pictures!

  • VW ad: If only the world did look like this :)

  • It contains an ad for the first car I every owned:

    http://farm1.static.flickr.com/150/329572088_27d0b0015f.jpg

    Interestingly enough, they're advertising that car by:

    1- Putting the car as far away as possible
    2- On a mud track,
    3- Put a pretty girl as close as possible (in the mud too.)

    LOL!

  • Does anyone know what kind of car is the one in the italian-looking courtyard with the greco-roman statues, about halfway down the page?

  • Is it just me or does the girl in the Citroen look really pretty. And she looks like she is dresed in the modern day! Strange...

  • The Volkswagen ad is brilliant.

  • "joshua" above is spam.

    Anyways, I would have expected some of the European car ads show exposed breasts.

  • I found this great clip on jokes.m3Rlin.org. It's a great claymation movie about Darth Vader and the Emperor: http://jokes.m3rlin.org/funny/darth-vader-calls-the-emperor-claymation . I laughed so hard!!!

  • I'd love to see an illustration of Darth and ObiWan dueling (across the room, left) while Luke and Leia watch (foreground, right) but done as and in the style of a pulp magazine cover of the 1930s.

    (As if Amazing Stories printed Star Wars in the 1930s.)
