FARK has photoshop contests all the time. But I only post them on Xanga when there's at least 4 that are absolutely top quality. This one was to photoshop "Flirting with Disaster". So here's four. My favorite one is the last one: it wasn't a photoshop at all, it was the real deal, but absolutely fit the theme of flirting with the disaster. To see all of the photoshops, here is the link.
The worlds's oldest man, Tomoji Tanabe of Japan (1895-2009) has just died. The new oldest man is now 113 year old Henry Allingham of Brighton, England, the last surviving veteran of World War I.

Having developed into somewhat of an Asian expert from having lived there during most of the 1990s, I have fallen behind in my European studies. So, some of the jokes on here I do not get. Can anyone fill me in on some of the holes?
I understand the Selfish Fishermen is a knock at Norway's whaling activities. I've heard that there is some performer from Iceland named Bjork. I get it about the Swiss banks. Yuk, yuk, yuk about the USA being located in Iraq, Lebanon being a mess, and Israel being home to war addicts. Turkey being "NO YOUTUBE LAND" reminds me of Thailand nationally banning Youtube, I think because someone said something bad about the King of Thailand on a youtube. But I'm missing the joke on most of the others.
