The amazing and cool photo thread

Height and weight, respectively? Any info on that?

The tall guy (Zhang Juncai) is somewhere in the region of 8"1 and probably weighs around 300 lbs. Whereas the fat guy (Liang Yong) is 5"3 and weights nearly 500 lbs.

The fattest man in the US couldn't even get to a studio and stand to have his picture taken. USA! USA! USA!

(1100 lbs )

Honestly, relative to people I've seen in Canada and the USA, that guy isn't massive. My friend's dad probably only trails him by about 50lbs.

 

[PeterJB]

His BMI is 85.5, kinda puts it into perspective.

Holy mother of- that's a lot of fish in that photo!

Also, any info on the photo beneath? The one that looks like an organic strip mall?

Yep, this is from the site:

Hikers under the Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau, Alaska. When conditions are right, streams melt holes into the glacier. At times they are large and stable enough for exploration. The ice filters out most colors of light except for the blue wavelengths leaving a stunning blue glowing from the ice above. Photo and caption by Mark Meyer/National Geographic Photo Contest.

I like to do this, but with office stuff. I should take some pictures and be famous.

Something about this is really cool to me.

Searchlights pierce the night sky during an air-raid practice on Gibraltar, 20 November 1942

And this one.

A pilot ejects from extremely low altitude from an English Electric Lightning F1, Sept 13, 1962. The pilot survived with multiple breaks and cuts.

I thought that was a MiG 21 for a second

The guy on the tractor is the grandfather of a member I know from another forum. Pretty interesting capture.

It's a good looking tractor.

Every Friday (Thursday in the US) the official Australia facebook page posts some GREAT photographs from photographers around the country. This one was posted today, thought it was pretty cool how they are giving a "boost" to help lift the plant.

Helicopter re-fueling a tank!

 

[Dennisch]

That's no tank.

Still a cool picture though.

Imagine an entire city with everyone wearing practically the same thing. I know its black and white but pretty sure most people in 1905 NYC didn't wear colors. also not allot of women.

Lightsaber color fail.

Yeah, that 'glow-in-the-dark' ink doesn't have much color to it. That's the trade off.

 

[McLaren]

coolest tattoo ever.

Neat idea, but not well executed. And what god awful lines on the light saber. Or Yoda missing his toe....

I don't know how 'cool' this really is but those arrows were put up there by real archers hired by Ubisoft for that bill board poster. I think it's pretty cool.
