Looks familiar
Thank you Billy Rieman for sharing this actual news photo. This is the reason I would never convict someone based solely on witness identification. I've read too many stories of people spending decades in jail for heinous crimes, only to be cleared later through DNA evidence.
This reminds me of a true story: In the mid 1980's, Buffalo had a wackjob on the loose shooting black people at random for no reason. Due to the type of weapon he used, the media nicknamed him the "22-caliber killer." At the same time, we had a moron living across the street from us nicknamed "Mad Dog". From time to time, he would get drunk and stand out in front of his house in a KKK uniform screaming nonsensically about the end of the white race. (We still have the photos to prove it). He was a bald man in his 50's with a very distinctive look about him.
Law enforcement came out with a composite sketch of the suspect in the shootings and the Buffalo News published it, in an effort to find the killer. Everyone in the neighborhood was shocked, as the sketch clearly was identical to "Mad Dog." I wouldn't be surprised if his friends (if he had any) had him contact the police to tell them it wasn't him. A few weeks later, Buffalo police arrested Joseph Christopher, who looked nothing like the drawing, and convicted him of the murders. He was a military man stationed in Georgia and had bragged about the killings.

Look again
Apparently, this photo has been circulating the internet for some time now. You know it's time to head to the gym when your flabby arm is mistaken for your best friend's nude body. Gross.

Life's pictures of 2010
I looked at Life Magazine's top 103 pictures from 2010 and posted a few of them...
Don't worry. The crocodile was a little bit hungry, but the baby elephant's relatives returned to the scene and saved it's life...
17 year old Phillies' fan about to learn the hard way, it's not a good idea to run on the field...
There are two things in this photo. First, Tiger Woods' ball about to strike the camera (an obvious metaphor to Woods' life). Second, the guy with the cigar and the crazy face (second from the right), who became an overnight internet sensation...
This crazy protester in Argentina has a not so subtle message for the local police. Loco...
The black sheep: Taken in Sardinia, Italy...

Blogger's stunt double
My niece Bridget sent me this picture of my Polish twin sister shopping at the Broadway Market. I remember this day well. I went to the market to pick up some buttered lambs. Then it was off to bingo at St. Stan's.
