MASKS WORN DURING THE
PLAGUE
(Kinda reminds me of Spy vs Spy)
Is it just me or does the mask remind you of the classic strip from Mad Magazine, Spy vs Spy? It's crazy!

STUPID RIOTING IDIOTS
The owners of a 140-year-old family furniture store were devastated today after seeing the charmed remains of the building that fell victim to the riots last night.
House of Reeves has stood on the same corner in Croydon, south London, for more than a century but was targeted by rioters as violence spread across the capital.
Flames ripped through the historic building and spread to neighbouring businesses as firemen battled desperately to quell the inferno.
But today it was looked likely that the damage which was 'worse than the blitz' would force the ravaged building to be demolished and rebuilt.
Owner Trevor Reeves said: 'It has just provided (for) my family and the 15 or 20 staff and families that were supported, it's just completely destroyed.
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
His brother Graham told Sky News: 'Our lives are destroyed, it will probably be someone else next week. It's horrendous, 35 years I have been down here.'
He said the business was established in 1867, but he now had 'nothing', adding: 'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.
'I was in the Brixton riots but this is worse. My life is destroyed.'
One eye witness said: 'The building has survived the test of time. The damage last night was worse than the blitz.
'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.'

These melon shaped,textured bowls make a good breakfast dish, except you don't actually eat them. You can still eat your crappy sugar coated cereal and feel remotely good about yourself.
Good morning,
A storm cloud threatens to develop into a full blown tornado behind a cluster of family homes. Pat Kavanagh took this shot of an explosive storm from the roof of his house in Taber, Canada, last month. Expecting the sunny weather to take a turn for the worse he watched intently as the billows started spinning into a furious funnel. He says: He said: "Our area of the country seldom sees tornadoes so this was a rare sight indeed and with the rainbow underneath it, made it even more special to see." This picture was created by stitching together multiple photographs in a vertical panorama.
