  1. Devilishly clever! Now that these photos explain things like “straw-holder” on the opening tab of a drink can, one has to sit back and ask, “Why wasn’t that self-evident? Of course! That’s what it’s for!” I knew most of this, but there were some that caught me totally off guard. Great post!

      Thanks, I just updated it. I got it off StumbleUpon. Sometimes I don’t know the source. Please everyone feel free to supply them and I am always happy to add them in. I leave them on when they come with tagged information.

      As a side note, I get thousands of pictures from all over. I like it when photographers put their bug and information on them so I know. If ever I post something and the artist, model, or whoever wants credits, modifications or removal, just let me know. I try my best to do so.

      • Yeah someone along the line does the wrong thing and removes credit info – whether through not caring, ignorance or trying to get credit themselves. However, I don’t think that is ever you. You are clearly happy to point out sources where you can. Thanks for that 🙂

        By the way, I like your blog, and saw where people ask you if you play basketball because you are tall. You should say yes, then ask, “Did you ever race horses as a jockie?” Let them think about that… 🙂
