Could the girls with the guns be a ballet rehearsing the "nutcracker" stroy .. ?
then the guy with the mask would fit in as well ..
The first picture shows the top of New Zealand's South Island, and Cook Strait
Obviously it's a Nutcracker rehearsal.
I would love one of those nap stations
Awesome -- thanks for the link to my airline certificate article! They're one of those things that I had never known existed until one showed up in my hands...and then I HAD to find out more about them.
They had those nap stations at Macworld Expo in San Francisco in January. While you were inside you could listen to a nap soundtrack generated by the Pzizz software:

'Tis true that he's the Nutcracker King and that the girls are the toy soldiers, taking on the army of rats in Clara's dream.

You got some very cool vintage stuff on your sites. Send us a note when something neat comes up again, we'll link it.
They claim they lost the site of Hitlers Bunker. Ironically it was recently rediscovered when the Jewish Memorial was being built nearly over it.
