So this post started as a humorous blog. First I read a story on the Metro about a Monkey and a Pigeon having a relationship. Having waged war against pigeons since the days in San Francisco when they used to shit and lay eggs on our balcony, I have despised these rats. I have to say that while my hatred for them was high, I never got to the point Workmonkey got to of actually killing one with his bare hands. That sucks, dude.

So I read this article about a monkey actually being brought back to life by pigeon and think to myself…maybe they’re not so bad after all. But then I look at the 1089 pigeons that kick it by my office and I go back to my hatred.

awwwww

Yes, that is one of the best pictures I’ve seen in the past year. Kudos to the photographer. This is right up there with a few of my favorite photos in history like the lunchtime atop a skyscraper pic.

Bombs away!!!

Of course, I was thinking of making this blog about some of the greatest images in history…until I actually started looking at them. You got the VietCong dude getting shot, the Vietnamese girl running after getting napalmed, the buddhist monk burning alive, and then I clicked on a 2007 Pulitzer winning series about Cancer. That pretty much takes any humour out of my psyche for the day. I think I will quit my work and spend the rest of the day handing out food to the homeless, right after I give all my money away to charity.

In researching photos for this blog, I also found the best ghost photos ever taken, which were pretty cool. Now back to raising money for Darfur.
