With all the bumping n stuff, there is something nice to this thread, it brings the Unconvenient Truth issue somewhat under attention. I think it is important for people to understand that some natural resources are dwindling and that we must take precautions for natural disasters.
While being serious, this is of course also a bump for this thread
It all started when our predictably heroic hero, sid, woke up in a lemur-infested moor. It was the fifth time it had happened. Feeling excessively pleased, sid backhanded a carrot, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). A few unfulfilled decades later, he realized that his beloved camera was missing! Immediately he called his fundamentalist, guilt-dispensing friend, captain kangaroo. sid had known captain kangaroo for (plus or minus) half a million years, the majority of which were enchanting ones. captain kangaroo was unique. He was intelligent though sometimes a little... annoying. sid called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.
captain kangaroo picked up to a very happy sid. captain kangaroo calmly assured him that most legless puppies panic before mating, yet disease-carrying chipmunks usually wildly grimace *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting sid. Why was captain kangaroo trying to distract sid? Because he had snuck out from sid's with the camera only ten days prior. It was a eccentric little camera... how could he resist?
It didn't take long before sid got back to the subject at hand: his camera. captain kangaroo yawned. Relunctantly, captain kangaroo invited him over, assuring him they'd find the camera. sid grabbed his rhinocerus and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, captain kangaroo realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the camera and he had to do it carefully. He figured that if sid took the gas-guzzling, ecology-destroying, tankish SUV, he had take at least eight minutes before sid would get there. But if he took the gogo mobile? Then captain kangaroo would be abnormally screwed.
Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, captain kangaroo was interrupted by two stupid telly tubbies that were lured by his camera. captain kangaroo panicked; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling concerned, he randomly reached for his wolverine and aimlessly punched every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the fanstic pumpkin patch, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the gogo mobile rolling up. It was sid.
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Anyone know where to get a good night shot of the Atlanta skyline?
I think you should contact Al Gore's office, he's holding the copyright to all Atlanta skyline images and you don't want to be in violation of the copyright, do you?
I think you should contact Al Gore's office, he's holding the copyright to all Atlanta skyline images (in fact, he invented the skyline ), and you don't want to be in violation of the copyright, do you?
Al Gore huh? Wasn't he responsible for that movie I was asking about? Anybody seen it? Maybe have it on DVR?
No I do not want to be in violation of copyright- someone might try and sue me for $150 or maybe even more if people give them the idea they can really make a statement. :lol4

Look, Nikolai...I work at the patent office. I've searched the patents database and I can't find any invention for a skyline.
I am *starting* to think that you are just making things up to keep this thread alive.
By the way, what's this thread about anyway? Sid - do you know?
One more thing: can somebody notify Sid we found his picture in one of the Al Gore's movies?
His PM is not answering, I'm getting "Permanent DNA failure" error ...
Nothing unusual about being found, I've discovered. A guy for Fulton Country, GA saw it and bought rights to use it. So, too, did a local insurance gentleman.
I can't believe this, someone else is using waxies picture[...]
This one can't be his though..... http://www.eppslimousines.com/ :nono
It is Waxie's! Al Gore must have sold it to him! Send the bill to Gore!
...
Seriously, though. It is. Pixel for pixel. If you discard the embedded aRGB profile and render it as sRGB, shrink it to 600px wide, and overlay it, it's definitely Waxie's (aside from a shoddy JPEG conversion). The car changing lanes in the lower righthand corner is exactly the same. With the way this thread's going though, I'd bet he did license out the rights to them

To be continued, I hope?

Wow, that's cool!
Can you share what inventions he actually does have?
Me? No! No way! Sid is like a brother to me, why would I do such a horrible thing to him?
Of course, this thread would die then.

What to do?

This one definitely does look like Waxy's.
OK Sid, now that you found someone way closer than Al Gore, and that picture is actually yours, wanna send them an invoice?
It could be one he sold...if not...go get em!
It is Waxie's! Al Gore must have sold it to him! Send the bill to Gore!
