No, GOD NO! Zip ties are the bane of the industry. Too many twits yank down on them and kink the cables! Then every one and their mother wants to cut off the end of them, which turns them into little plastic razors! I can't even tell you how many scars I have from those things. Good god man. NO, just NO!

The 2nd photo - Pho Ly Quoc Su is in Viet Nam. There are many examples of such wiring "arrangements" in Ha Noi and elsewhere. No idea in which city this particular street is since the same street names are used repeatedly in various cities.

Hey, good thing to note is those 'perfect' wiring jobs. there is such a thing as too perfect, and those are a good example. Proper structured cabling should not be perfectly parallel, combed, straight cables. Such an arrangement promotes crosstalk and impedes signals. cable bundles should be slightly lose, and allowed to weave a bit. They may look messy, but you'll have a significantly cleaner signal on your network.
Holy crap, did i actually LEARN something from my Data Communications course? oO

Wow James - interesting point, I was not aware of this (although I had my share of tackling crazy wiring)

Ditto the earlier comment about the evils of zip ties. Use only on a permanent installation, and it's rare any wiring is going to be permanent.
For most applications I use velcro ties, they're a bit more expensive than zip ties, but you only have to buy them once. Write them off as a business expense. :)

@ james: Actually, Cat5/6 cables, as well as shielded coax/fibre/other waveguides are designed not to crosstalk with each other. Consider that a Cat5 has 4 pairs, each w/ different signals, and they don't have problems due to the architecture i.e., the twist in the pairs along with the opposing current creates a net 0 EM field, therefore no inducted voltage in another pair.
I also agree w/ Scott, I hate zip ties, although if I have to use them, I twist them off, which creates a smooth end. I hate them more due to the disposable nature of them...

Wow! That takes me back; my father bought us the blue and the brown robots, on the 2nd row, in London in 1970.
You could pose the arms with satisfying clicks. With AA batteries in their legs they buzzed along on rubber caterpillar tracks, lights flashing!

For the record...yes they do make tin robots today. Although they're most likely made in China and considered "adult collectibles not suitable for young children".
In fact, in that first group of tin robot pictures in the bottom left corner is an gray R-1 robot produced about 10 years ago by Rocket USA. They still make versions of it today.

The "Space Crawler" is a GI Joe accessory. I had one and it was very cool. It went with a "moon base". I have no idea what happened to it.
I had a little blue plastic robot that with arms that swung around. It came to a spectacular, pyromaniacal end when I grew tired of it.

Got to click on that cosmonaut photo and see the whole set. One question though, did they bring the rocking chair into space with them and if so, why? If they didn't, and it was supplied by the chase team, you have to wonder, why bring a rocking chair to a ballistic reentry party, and 2, you bring a rocking chair but not a stretcher to get the 'naut onto the helo? The whole photo set just screams Estes backyard rocketry.

2 things for you Avi, no. 9 is the British "celebrity" Pete Doherty who, I shall say, was like that 24/7 until he had an implant put in his head.

Sorry folks. I can't see any that are "ugly". They are pictures of ordinary people either making faces (1 or 4) or having their faces warped in some way (6 or 38). There are old people(14 & 19), but they are OLD not ugly. There are the grotesque (20 & 34) and the photoshopped (45 etc). You have the old 'face-on-a-chin' trick (46) and the obligatory 'political-candidate-caught-with-stupid-face' category (28). My favourite would be 47 which is real cute.
The face I would least like to see close up would have to be #20.

8, 12 & 13 have utterly freaked me out, I mean children are spooky most of the time anyway..and men with weapons look indestructible at the best of times... but when a freaky looking fella carrying a machete, who looks like he's from the eerie, totally uncomfortable film "the hills have eyes"... and children who look like they're just about to eat you... starting with your face,... well, that's just plain wrong!!!

lovely gallery, but I thought I'd point out that I don't think the 'crown' of smoke is actually smoke. I'm fairly sure that I saw the image on DeviantArt and that the photographer explained that it was a drop of milk in a glass of water.
