Saw this appear on FB; it's the Houses of Parliament & Elizabeth tower undergoing maintenance, but something about it has an interesting sci-fi industrial aesthetic, like a combine takeover. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4mCoX54.jpg[/img]

Matches London's oppressive nature more than regular Big Ben does.

[QUOTE=Egon Spengler;53113881][t]http://image5.sixthtone.com/image/5/8/475.jpg[/t] Apparently it's still having a fair bit of false positives but even so, this is both fascinating and frightening.[/QUOTE] “My vision is augmented”

I never saw a photo of the tower from the bottom of it like that; I never grasped just how immensely large it is.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53115069]They should call it Very Large Ben instead to help communicate the scale[/QUOTE] 96 meter Ben

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;53115069]They should call it Very Large Ben instead to help communicate the scale[/QUOTE] I think "Listen guys, I know you mostly see the clock through the lens of a camera and its usually quite far away in the background or in a helicopter, and the TV being relatively small and the photo on it generally being even smaller. But when we called it Big Ben we actually meant what we said because it's pretty huge, especially when you exit Westminster underground and stand next to it and truly understand the size of this monolithic ancient structure. Ben" Rolls of the tongue more.

An Australian soldier, George "Dick" Whittington, is aided by Papuan villager Raphael Oimbari, at the Battle of Buna-Gona.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels was the name given by Australian soldiers to Papua New Guinean war carriers who, during World War II, were recruited to bring supplies up to the front and carry injured Australian troops down the Kokoda trail during the Kokoda Campaign. Six hundred and fifty Australian lives were lost in the campaign. It is speculated that this number would have been much larger had it not been for the help of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. As one Australian digger has noted: They carried stretchers over seemingly impassable barriers, with the patient reasonably comfortable. The care they give to the patient is magnificent. If night finds the stretcher still on the track, they will find a level spot and build a shelter over the patient. They will make him as comfortable as possible fetch him water and feed him if food is available, regardless of their own needs. They sleep four each side of the stretcher and if the patient moves or requires any attention during the night, this is given instantly. These were the deeds of the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels" – for us![/QUOTE]

I like how almost every country's logo is curved, round, or sleek but then you have Germany's square block :v:
