The Iranian women's air force rocks my socks off. As far as the "Women Keep Your Virtue" video is concerned, I'm posting that tonight. That's bloody awesome.

OK, found your source and unfortunately it gives no name. She's presented just as some random encounter. Damn. She's one of the most attracting creatures I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.

I have seen colour spotted sheep on the hills in Yorkshire, exactly like LadyAnne47's pic.
These aren't dyed for fun, tho'. They put a chalking harness on the rams, each ram getting a different colour chalk. This is how the farmers know which ewe was bred by which ram.

I saw some dyed sheep up the north of Ireland. I think blue dye was used then. Irish football fans are less patriotic perhaps...

That is so cool and interesting.

These animals are meant to be used for their wool and perhaps meat. I think dying them is unnecessary and cruel.

Er, the only clandestine purpose the Sea Shadow was ever used for was R&D. It's a testbed. The actual ship was not used for
the Bond film; doesn't have a helicopter

That cargo plane is also a C-17, not a HC-10. And it is indeed taking off, can be spotted at the dustcloud behind the aircraft. Landing aircraft only produce a dustcloud at touchdown.

Hi.
I believe the "End of the World" time line comes from the Times Online.
I found it on this page, with attribution.

The Soviets detonated the largest nuclear bomb ever at 50 megatons which was an astounding 3,000 times the explosive power of Hiroshima.

that timeline is pretty silly. after all, if there was all-out nuclear war or an asteroid strike, presumably the endangered species and fish stocks et al would be seriously effected. not to mention the "pollution" such events would cause...

@jaake
considering the era the timeline was made the government and public at large were still pretty naive about the total effects of a nuclear war, let alone something really random like an asteroid strike. I mean, hell, nobody is still sure what an all out nuclear war would do to the earth today.

That post-apocalypse timeline is just plain silly.
Humans are pretty damn tough omnivores. We can eat almost anything, except trees and grasses; however, we can eat pretty much anything that eats trees and grasses.
To kill us, you'd have to kill a very large number of Earth's species. We could become extinct, but so would most other mammals (certainly anything over 5kg), most birds, most existing reptiles, and a lot of marine life.
You'd be left with a planet of plants, bugs, fish, and a few small mammals and slimey reptiles. Sure, it'd recover, but it would take a loooong time (millions of years).
I've never understood the whole 'humans are bad, nature is good' self loathing. Utterly weird. If you think humans are bad, I recommend that you start by topping yourself.

"...know more about gas masks than modern generation." Pfff, I "Wear it once", but I'm not "get scarred for life."
"To scare yourself even more" find info about "Drop-shot", "Broiler" and several other plans of nuclear attack on Russia. Those plans has become more bloodthirsty with each next year before Russia invented its own a-bomb.

The vast bulk of these photographs are not only NOT from the Cold-War, they're not even 2nd World War. They mostly date from approximately 1916-1938! Orwellian or Wells'ian maybe, Cold-War - never!

BTW, the "woman cutting onions" photo is a) relatively recent and b) photoshopped. I remember seeing it in color in a set of various ingenious tricks -- she's not wering gas mask out of fear of attach, she wears it because she's, duh, cutting onions. ;)
