The Funniest Moments from the Military All Over the World
Thinking of military, weapons and wars, we usually imagine serious, life-threatening conditions, pain, hurt and danger. All the more precious then, are the rare moments of humour and even hilarity - during the drill, in the field, and even in combat. This is a long-overdue celebration of life's lighter side in the middle of these harsh realities.
Special forces personnel (from left to right) from Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, Poland and Sweden - during the joint military exercises in Croatia:
These guys mean business: Special Military Unit from India -
This is actually the monument to Soviet WW2 Army in Prague (a part of the old Soviet T-34 tank). Interesting thoughts come to mind...
Who knew? - apparently, Soviet spies came very close to taking out Hitler... if only Adolf would not turn around at this very moment:
Magneto makes his move:
What's this with throwing rifles in the air? -
More emotional discharge:
... and a total embarrassment:

Police Riding in Style
We saw some totally weird and tricked-out police cars in the previous parts of our series - including some pretty powerful "Ferrari" and "Lamborghini". There are many more to show, however - it seems that every big city (at least in China) has some incredible police cars to be proud of:
New Zealand Army's Maiori Battalion in Egypt - more info:
Russian, Korean and Chinese armies train their soldier in a truly ambitious way... See more extreme exercises on this page (scroll down).
Winter brings its own "no pain - no gain" exercise variety:
Snow is not really necessary:
Some serious jumping is required from these women (my guess is, this is the Iranian Military):

Men with the Golden Guns
This shiny gold arsenal was confiscated from the Mexican drug lords:
Here is the price list for a Kalashnikov Rifle (a worthy weapon in every respect) - in sheep and goats:
Shooting from AK-47 rifle can be problematic sometimes:
What actually happened here, is that this guy was lucky not to get injured: one of the bullets was replaced with an explosive on purpose (by people who sold it to him).
Just whatever you do, don't let a monkey sleep on your gun:

The lady with the MP44 could get some good money for it from collectors (it's amazing what accumulates in odd corners of the world). I'm also guessing the police ladies are in Egypt or another African Arab country. Some of them are too dark for Iranians and others are not wearing head scarfs. Exposed hair is a big no-no in Iran even for a civilian, let alone a cop.
The Picture with the title "Now this unique paving pattern was not caused by any earthquakes - but it did create an interesting urban landscape:" is showing the famous "Hundertwasserhaus" in Vienna - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundertwasserhaus regards
Bernard is correct - seismologists phased out the Richter Scale in the 1980s in favor of the moment-magnitude scale, in which an increase of 1 in magnitude is an increase of 32 in size.
About the pic w/ the laser-sneezing bunny: Is the dude w/ the 'stache about to snap the bald guy's neck? Mustache Dude: "You've seen too much..." Bald Guy: "huh?"
The 'nuclear hair' photo is of 60's fashion model Penelope Tree, hence the nest. My hair looks like that if I don't shower for a couple of days. Magnificent site - you've ruined all my notions of 'spare time!' Thanks.
Does anyone have a reference as to where the "fire breathing rabbit" is from. Specifically, was it a story, magazine, or book cover? And what is the name? Any story that has that as a cover is something I want to read.
The piano in the last photo isn't a grand piano; just a standard upright piano and a small one at that. Probably an Acrosonic-style drop action to fit in tight quarters. Still must have made sonar operators on other vessels a bit surprised to hear live piano music coming from the depths.
Excellent pictorial. For anyone who wants a sample of life on a sub without actually going underwater, I recommend the full-length version of Das Boot.
Except of course Bluebeard wasn't a pirate, he was a French serial wife murderer, which makes the whole 'Bluebeard's revenge' thing ever so slightly sinister...
No, beer doesn't help the nursing baby. It helps the mom to nurse. This is a very old folk remedy, and supposedly it works. Something to do with fluid balance, maybe ?
I new an older guy that said his dad got him and his sister a mail order monkey. He said the thing exploded like a chainsaw at them as soon as they opened the crate. It was one ticked off little monkey and only liked his sister. Anybody else would get scratches and bites.
Isn't it interesting how times have changed in advertising so now the man (almost always white) is almost always identified as the idiot who is too stupid or lazy to mail a package or know that soap can clean something. There's also Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens who often make jokes not toward the character, but against men.
Brewers' Yeast, which is what is used to make beer, helps to improve milk production and contains nutrients that make breastfeeding more nutritious for the infant and less taxing on the mother's body. So that one's perfectly valid, especially if unfiltered beer is consumed.
Also, the "simple driving" ad isn't directly sexist. That's Goldie Hawn, who played a ditzy, simple-minded character on Laugh In.
When I was in hospital after giving birth, nursing mothers were given half a bottle of (Canadian/real) beer if they wanted/need it because it would stimulate their milk flow. It really did work!

About the "energy drinks", those are Philippine Army soldiers drinking San Miguel Beer for an ad.
I'm betting the woman holding the MP44 (about midway down, evidently somewhere in Africa) doesn't have any ammunition for it.
7.92x33 Kurz has been scarce as hen's teeth since about 1950, pretty much everywhere.
(These days you can but it for something like a dollar or two a round...)

This Trabant is not a custom modification. It has been massproduced as Trabant Kübelwagen.
The one pic which says "The guy on top is looking at you... Pakistan military formation:"

The Chinese choir is actually a North-Korean choir.
Is the AR15 attachment even real, highly suspicious esp the chainsaw.
the heavily equipped rescue vehicle is actually from Hong Kong, the number plate is AM **** which is common to all government owned vehicles. keith
I think that the bus meant to be a police bus is actually a chinese 'death bus' - a mobile execution van.
The second picture in the list of cars looks photoshopped.
Those are not Pakistani soldiers on the motorbike but Indian.
Its from India's annual republic day parade.
the board in front of the motorbike has BSF JAANBAAZ on it.
BSF - Border Security Force, India.
The apc with the sheep is obviously a mobile Taliban brothel.
