I was sucking down a beer when I saw this .. came damn close to blowing it out my nose. Damn this is funny.

There's a prototype for nearly everything... if you were to build a model with a banister like this, the nitpickers would tear you apart. Apparently the carpenter didn't like to make angled cuts...  It's interesting how visually disturbing it is... Photo by Frances B Johnston in Pender County, North Carolina, 1938. At that time house was said to be 200 years old. Photo from Shorpy.

Heh, I nearly spewed my coffee all over my monitor.  Look at the faces of those sitting next to Veep and Officer Billy...makes you wonder what transpired just before the photo was taken.  Thanks Ed, this photo deserves its own photo caption thread!

Awww guys-old Biden was just wanting to be "sweet"... I would like to see the photo taken right after that one..."bang, zoom, to the moon!"

That bannister is bizarre! Not only the odd angles, but it also appears to be no more than about knee high.

[Rasputen]

I like the way the bottom step interferes with the doorway too.

Don,    Thanks for posting the pic of the old service station i really like the shape of the building....and those pumps look interesting...and that clock above the door.  Im suprised those gas globes are still there they wouldnt last long around here with out a fence around the building.      Craig

This looks like fun... though perhaps a touch unpractical. Bike was built by early Italian bike manufacturer Frera.
