SILLY BUILDINGS

This gives new meaning to living in your car

Who's ready for a picnic?

I really love elephants

This one is for the dogs

Living in a Concerto

Inspired by J.K. Rowling?

That building is fishy

I wouldn't want to go home to this, after a night of drinking

Judy Walkman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle. Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research: "Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed." NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks! That's real POLITICAL SPIN !!!

My understanding is that the stepmother was EVIL. Wasn't this the basis Hansel & Gretel? Cast out in the woods where they were taken in by a "friendly" witch who wanted to take advantage of them?

"Happily ever after" my foot.

Their father loved Peter and Patty very much.

My head hurts. At least they weren't found and adopted by a loving and wonderful gay couple.

Hey, Lucky,

Why do they call them ‘buildings’ when they are already built???

Grumpy cat looks board.

Can anyone even imagine 4-8 years of this in the Whitehouse, plus Bill in charge of the intern pool?

I believe this particular photo is of the hanging of "Black Jack" Ketchum.
