[QUOTE]An Air France Boeing 777 taxis past refugee tents at M'Poko International Airport, Bangui, Central African Republic.
Nearly 60,000 refugees currently live at the airport as a consequence of an ongoing civil war that began 2012. Air France is one of the few airlines still operating into the airport, and the only carrier that flies outside of Africa.[/QUOTE]

The album is by the same name, too. It's got pretty interesting cover art;

Don't see why Russia is the only one to have "Bombing Syria"
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;51210756]Don't see why Russia is the only one to have "Bombing Syria"[/QUOTE]
I guess the actions of the other countries involved in the conflict there just don't get much attention as they don't spark any sort of political discussions and whatnot. I mean, I don't even remember the last time i've seen any other country aside from the Us and Russia mentioned in some news related to Syria.
Got bored and decided to mess around in photoshop.

I tried my best at answering all of these.
Iceland: Actually it's mostly just brown.
Ireland: Warm currents from the Carribbean reaching Europe, plus being a coastal nation they get a lot of it.
United Kingdom: Because of a referendum and lack of knowledge on how the EU works.
Portugal: Estado Novo.
Spain: They never recovered to great power status after falling to Napoleon and their economy has always sucked since (except the second republic).
Andorra: Charlemagne.
France: They are seen as the leader of moral decadence in Europe by Islamic extremists thus a decent target.
Switzerland: Because a lot of early post-antiquity European republics were influenced by the Roman Republic, so they have their official name in Latin. Also they speak like 3 different languages so it's more universal.
Italy: I don't understand what this means.
Malta: You mean malt liquor?
Austria: A compromise between the west and the soviets.
Germany: Largest population in Europe + great industry.
Belgium: Butt buddies with the Brits.
Netherlands: Traditional royal colour of the house of Orange-Nassau.
Luxembourg: Because they have Luxury in their name, duhh! (Micro states tend to be rich, that's why they even exist)
Denmark: Is it really?
Norway: Low population and a shitload of oil & fisheries + nordic capitalism.
Sweden: Nordic model.
Finland: Because they are a neutral country.
Estonia: Soviets had a lot of luck there.
Latvia: They have jack shit to export.
Lithuania: Because the commonwealth is dead.
Poland: Because the Poles hate Prussians(protestant) and Russians(orthodox).
Czechia: They've always hated religion.
Slovakia: They are in FIFA 17 you dipshits.
Hungary: Because they have their own version of Trump in power.
Slovenia: Because they have always been culturally closer to western Europe than the Balkans.
Croatia: Because "Hrvatska" is "Croatia" in the Serb-Croat language.
Bosnia & Herzegovina: Because they suck too much
Kosovo: Because Russia, security council member, will always deny their statehood to the end of time.
Serbia: I have no idea.
Macedonia: They actually ditched that name a while back.
Albania: Ottomans.
Greece: Because they have no economic identity and a retardedly low early retirement age among other things.
Turkey: Because it is controlled by an ethnic group called the Turks. Duh.
Cyprus: ^^^
Bulgaria: They've always been poor.
Romania: The government wanted it changed from ROM to ROU for some retarded reason.
Moldova: Because they are the West Virginia of Europe.
Ukraine: Incompetent leadership.
Belarus: Because they basically are Russians but a bit different.
Russia: To support Assad and his Ba'athist regime.

[QUOTE]A rare lunar rainbow - or moonbow - has been photographed in the skies over northern England. Ben Gwynne captured the sight on the moors above Skipton, North Yorkshire at about 19:40 GMT. Lunar rainbows are formed when moonlight, rather than direct sunlight, is refracted by moisture in the atmosphere.[/QUOTE]

What is the significance?
Just because they're hard to see with your eyes doesn't necessarily make them rare.
Pretty sure they're fairly common. On a moonlit night, the moon acts just like the sun after all.

Took this last night during full moon. Almost looks like daytime, although it was purely lit by the moon.

Beautiful picture. What was your exposure time on that?
[QUOTE=BackwardSpy;51217896]Beautiful picture. What was your exposure time on that?[/QUOTE]
1 minute at ISO 320 and F/2.8 using the Canon 6D and Sigma 24mm f/1.8 (it's a cheap lens, hence the strong CA)

I've had the pleasure of witnessing one of these first hand, pitch black outside when it happened driving on the freeway, such a cool and baffling sight.

It loops perfectly :D (Right click and select "loop")
The other day I was wondering if there could be a rainbow on a night with a bright enough moon.. good timing, that's really cool.
[i]The final months of the Wolds Fair. After its closure on October 13 1986 the majority of the expo 86 buildings and pavilions would be demolished. Others would be dismantled and relocated elsewhere while other fixtures like the Expo Center, British Columbia Pavilion and the Canada Pavilion would be renovated and reopen years later as new commercial and convention space.

Should've burnt it down first like they did with the 1893 World's Fair
