      I'll give this one to Howard Brown...it's the December, 1978 staff photo of Microsoft. This is the whole staff. And they wore their best clothes and fixed their hair for this photo. Amazing. All millionaires and billionaires now.

        You can't tell me that the guy on the far right middle row isn't the guy that ordered the Sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway.

          And I was going to guess the 1972 Death Row from California.

          Meaning that Bill and the gang were only 6 years behind the fashion times.....

            Here's a simple yet amusing one: wombat poop is unique because...?



            ....and no, it's not because it's the only poop that comes from wombats.

                Does it have something to do with coffee beans? I recall that some kind of expensive coffee bean is fed to and pooped out of some animal. Could be a wombat.

                    Hi String

                    David shwimmer (friends) middle.
                    I always preferred Ross/Schwimmer out of them, thought he was cute with all his stammering/bumbling.

                    Hi Tom I think that is the Civet? I am with Tel, the shape is odd - If I am honest I was thinking triangular for some reason - ouch! - but I think Tel is correct with square. I also remember they sleep with all four feet in the air as though dead, not sure if this is intentional or not though.
                    If you're going to be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

                      Civets give perfume, don't they?

                      Square poop sounds painful.

                        Hi Robert

                        Guess it depends which end you choose?

                          Either way it's trying to fit a square poop into a round hole.

                            fit it in?! - I am thinking it would prefer to get it out

                              Yeah - OUT is the usual direction of travel. Another odd feature of the wombat is that while they are a pouched marsupial, the pouch faces to the rear. They are also the closest relatives of those beloved-by-millions koalas.
