Very nice post, never heard of exploding lakes before. The image with the pump in the center of the lake is not visible...

The last picture could be from Philippe Ramette, a french photographer. He doesn't use Photoshop, but strange machines to create weird pictures of himself.
You can see some of them here (fr) :

Just to clarify, while CO2 is toxic in sufficient concentration, the deaths at Lake Nyos were due more to it simply displacing all the oxygen and causing immediate asphyxiation, than to any toxic effect.

fascinating article.
off-topic, but a confirmation, that last pic is indeed Philippe Ramette, entitled:
Rational exploration of the undersea : irrational walk 2006

Sigivald, you are absolutely right. Moreover, the main toxic gas expelled by a volcanic lake - or a smoking crater or crevice - is the poisonous SO2, or Sulphur Dioxide.
Many of the people who died in lake Nyos were deprived of oxigen and poisoned by SO2.
I think that this trend of blaming CO2 for everything that happens is becoming rather fishy...
Congratulations

The
fountain in the middle of lake Nyos only used a pump to get it started. Now it is a self-sustaining fountain of fizzy-water, shooting 100 feet into the air.

I'm pretty sure the car jump went exactly as planned. You'll notice there was no down ramp on the other side, and the guy's extensive safety gear.

The squirrel with the Canon rangefinder is Spottina; she's a member of ACORN (American Camera Organized Rodent Network). The members are mostly squirrels, with a few chipmunks. Scott Alan Johnson, the only human member of the group, is also the only one of them who can operate a computer, so he puts their photos up on the net for them. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/photosquirrels/sets/72057594128554742/
(He'd appreciate a courtesy e-mail if you use his pics; his address is on that Flickr page.)

The large Canon lens is a 1200mm - produced in amazingly small numbers, I believe that Getty and National Geographic have one a piece.
Having lugged around a 600mm F4 more times than is good for me I'd hate to take that on a shoot!
The really little one was produced to celebrate 30 years of Canon EOS equipment.

About creativity with chinese characters: You might be amused by webcomic "Sinfest" by Tatsuya Ishida. In his case he sometimes makes his cartoon characters turn into kanji characters. Granted, you have to dig deep into archives, but for those of you with enough free time it might prove rewarding. I for one find this webcomic very original and having, ahem, character...

What's actually strapped to the top of that little red compact is a replica of World War 2 V-1 'Buzz Bomb' (a sort of early cruise missile). Obviously no engine, though. Just a road flare or something stuck up the exhaust.

re: the girls pushing out cars.
i think these are maybe from a fetish site called 'car stuck girls' where girls get their car stuck, then push it out.

The girls pushing out cars are from a German late night show on a sports channel (you can see the German license number on the first picture).

Re: the dumpsters. My guess is that the car was there first, and the dumpsters were left there by an annoyed refuse hauler to indicate to the car's owner that his parking directly in front of the large dumpsters, where he needed to back in with his truck, was not appreciated.

In highschool, we pulled a prank similar to those cars between the trees. If it's a small enough car, and you have enough (strong :-) friends, it's easy enough to pick up the car and move it sideways.

That's the same office freak out you linked to before, from a different angle. makes me wonder if it is staged.
Booooo! That's an old joke but apparently you didn't know that or cared. ;)
If I am missing some context someone could drop a link. The internet is a big place and some of us hail from distant corners of it.
The bar is named "Eternity".
BTW-MIne was in reference to the "ignorance/apathy" joke at the end there. ;>)
