1. Junior Mint?

2. Deep cut... Respect, underpants!

Although, I think a Junior Mint would have been the least of the worries in that picture.

3. No kidding

I'll bet not everyone in that room washed their hands.

7. These are fun. Something odd about the Manhattan pic, though...

What’s with the angle of the wall with the clothing sign? Seems it’s cutting behind the storefronts.

8. On a wall back of the stores

13. That's what it looks like at first, but it's on a different angled plane. Look at the 3 "5"surfaces-

they are 3 different angled planes marked “5” on the right, with the 2 lower ones at 90 degrees to each other... that other one (the back wall) seems like it cuts through those buildings. Showed it to a photographer friend just now, she agreed and commented that it looks like it might be a movie set, not that that’s likely, but this is strange.

9. That guy sitting next to Billy the Kid looks like Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy.

You could take that 1897 picture in West Virginia today and it would look much the same.
