  1. An oldie, but an undeterminedie.

  2. A quick phone call to Keyser Trad confirmed my first impression: upon inverting this photograph one can clearly see the word “Allah” in Arabic script. It is therefore unallowable.

  3. o/t Two men stabbed in a fight with two other men outside a takeaway food shop in Broadmeadows….

  4. It’s not determinative, but the reflection of sky in the puddle doesn’t match any of the skyline above it, that I can see.

    The puddle sees a slightly different view than the camera, is why it’s not determinative, but it doesn’t seem even close.

  5. I think an Israeli missile would have left a much bigger hole than that.

  7. Shouldn’t Madagascar be a bit more right and up?

  8. That’s like that piece of land that sticks out in the New River in Ft. Lauderdale that’s the exact shape of Florida.  Or so the riverboat guide said.  It was nighttime.

  10. True story: last week, I was handed a business card that looks EXACTLY like the state of Colorado.

  12. #1—The Snopes entry you linked says the photo was taken in Sudan, but the vegetation looks Australian to me.

  13. You can tell none of these people have been down that road.

    The tyre marks would have shown vehicles repeatedly backing up over the puddle.

  14. Where’s Germany?

  15. More to the point, where are the Alps?

  16. Queensland looks dodgy. Must be the Islamic Reuters version of photoshop.

  17. There is not enough smoke for a reuters version.

  18. No problem, surfmaster, I’ve Reuterized it.

  19. Thanks Smitho

    That photo just didn’t look right before you got onto it.

  20. What a really great puddle.
    Most puddles carelessly leave off Tasmania, but this is a really thoughtful puddle.
    There there, good puddle….

  21. This picture makes me proud, proud to be Autralian, AND proud to be composed of 80% water.

  22. #18 Smithovitch - there is a great career in the media waiting for you - just dial reuters on 3253 746867.

  23. I’m ashamed of that puddle.

  24. I’m so proud to be Autralian I spell it without the S. ‘S’ is for Satan.

    Posted by Amos on 2006 09 06 at 04:11 AM • permalink

  25. Look, you lot, it’s obviously a fake. The map of Tasmania is all wrong.

    Posted by kae on 2006 09 06 at 05:07 AM • permalink

  26. Amazing how similar The Sudan looks to outback Qld.

  27. Well, the Tasmania needs a brazillian!

  29. NATION RIGHT OF CENTRE

    That’s not as good a thing as it might sound.

    The center today is where the irrationalists were not too long ago. With the current rate of drift toward the outer fringes, in another 50 years or so, the “radical right” will be communist party commissars and the center will be a collection of droolers confined to “collective living” in institutions. The radical left will be the raving savages that draw “centrists” out from their asylums in a steady stream to sacrifice them in bloody violent ceremonies to what ever neo-paganist “god” that the current cult of personality has declared most trendy.

  30. Well, if Tasmania did have a Brazillian it would be a good idea, because it would look like Bass Strait.

    Queensland is dodgy because they go tropo sometimes.

    Posted by 1.618 on 2006 09 07 at 08:08 PM • permalink

  31. Yes, and let’s hope the bushland in the image is not an Australian, Islamic Pakistani, training camp in Queensland or NSW or Tasmania.

  32. Rod c, I’m a mate-ette or sheila. :) tee hee hee
