This fun bit o' photo(shop?) jiggery was debunked elsewhere on FR (sorry, no link, working from memory) a while back. The original photo was of a mockup of a submarine control panel (hence the wheel) and did not include the man or the printer, which conveniently covers a museum-type description.

Wish I could find the FR thread because it included links to other fun stuff done with the same photo...

What's amazing is how many people fall for this and other stuff found on the net. I went to the H.S. graduation of a friend's son last year. There were three moments when different speakers mentioned something from the internet - a quote by someone - that I knew to be false. These were educators! It is like what Will Rogers said - there is no one more stupid than an educated person if you get them off what they were educated in.
