How would you ever retrieve three wet cats 28 separate times for this photo shoot? That takes some serious catnip.
apparently they spent some time bringing the cats back to senses :)
The Nazi UFO photo is not a fake. Read some of it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_UFOs and check the external links - they were building such hmm vehicles? as I have seen on Discovery Channel they were supposed to work on hovercraft-like fans only capable to lift them more than few inches above ground :) Similar small saucers have been built more recently and some of them even work in a limited way.
hi,
the plane on photo is almost Kalinin K-7. In this 3d it has a lot of cannons which is not true.
here is link to Russian page on wikipedia:
p.s. here is another 3d picture of this fake K-7 (also origin unknown)
Snow Snake looks like Andy Goldsworthy's work
p.p.s. as i just read in other blog here is the link to the page with more pictures of this "K-7" from the creator. Much more! :)
K777 (russian language)
