Well, let's see who finds the truth behind this picture first ! Clue : someoe is playing music.
I don't know what the picture at the bottom is, but it reminds me of a church in a an earlier era prison, where the "solitary" prisoners were made to/allowed to go to church, but never permitted to even see each other, yet alone come into contact with each other (security guard in front, church organist on the left).
This must be in church in some high security prison. Prisoners are guided to church hall individually and seated in seperate chambers, so they can't contact with each other, and all they can see is preist in front. If i remember correctly, this was first used in New Zealand.
The brain is from "The Brain From Planet Arous" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qImQ1YBZtwg
Is there a trick to that bicycle thing?
The tongue is a giraffe's.
the left worker-on-a-scaffolding picture looks a lot like south korea to me. while in germany, scaffoldings almost always stand on the ground (for a famous exception, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/klaus-ottes/2991170356/ the (cologne cathedral)), are anchored in the walls, have walking boards that safely rest on the scaffolding's bars, have a handrail, and even a rim shelf (to make it less likely for a worker to slip their foot under the rail and fall from under the handrail). nothing of that applies to korean scaffolds: they are often hung from the top of the walls that are being built, often with thin wires; the boards are shifted around on the struts to wherever they are needed, and are in no way fixed. rails are unheard of. one false move and world population decreases by one. i have seen workers standing on the 30cm x 30cm top of a steel column that ended in thin air tens of meters above the ground, waiting for the crane operator to move a multi-ton I beam towards him so he can grab its end and nudge it into position. scary. no saftey ropes, nothing. an accidental swallow could have knocked off the guy with ease.
Might I suggest "Octopodes"?
Montsnmags and Jealousy are right. This is a church in a prison - unfortunately Iscanned it a while ago and can't remember if it's american or french. Must be during the 50's.
Good investigation, guys - enjoyed it!
The Disney cloned animation left out the Winnie The Pooh steal from Dumbo of the Pink Elephants On Parade used for Heffalumps. No big deal - just sayin'.
There is a large chapel in the victorian prison contained within Lincoln prison in England.

I Love "Romantika"! Beautiful :)
The last photo showing a prison chapel was not first used in New Zealand as suggested. There is one very similar to this (without the tops, and standing room for one person in each compartment - at least 6 rows of over 10 compartments one in front of the other) in the Port Arthur Penitentiary ruins in Tasmania, Australia, in use when New Zealand was first settled by the English - the prison in Port Arthur was for English criminals.
