Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I was thinking as long as I have my hands up they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong. -- Charles Kinsey I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson Worrying about the "browning of America" is not racism. -- Faith I hate you all, you hate me -- Faith

When I saw that uploaded to Reddit earlier this week, it was the whole pic. Where'd you get that shitty crop job?

I googled it. There's one shot of it posted directly below a sign that says, "RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT." I don't know if that makes it funnier.

Charles Dawson must have had his doubts about faking the Piltdown skull.
Even so, he forged a head.

Cat's Eye, I'll get this one...
How come the dinosaurs' tail is cut off? Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

The tail is cut off in the original so this isn't a shitty chop-job to complain about.

How come the dinosaurs' tail is cut off? It's the same old story. Formatting. When I was a kid maybe 10, I sent some of my favorite photos in to be printed 5x7 and I couldn't figure out why the whole photo wasn't in the print. The clerk at the drugstore camera counter tried to explain that 35mm film was a ratio of 2:3 and there was no way to fit that into 5:7 without cropping or shrinking the photo to fit inside the 5x7 dimensions. All the intervening years in my own darkroom I had to decide how I wanted to crop my photos to print them on the standard paper sizes: 8x10, 11x14, or 16x20. Finally, in the age of digital photography, I have choices of paper sizes that match the format of my camera. My favorite is 17x25, so I can print full frame 16x24. And that's why the thesaurus' tail is cut off.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Obvious question: Why not print the whole image inside the paper dimensions and then crop the print? I was only 10, so it took a while for the math to infiltrate my mind. Eventually, I saw that solution but it turned out to amazingly difficult to communicate my desire to the photolab techs. And then it turned out that no stores sold frames for the new cropped print sizes and I'm paying for all this with my lawn mowing earnings. Later, my wife and I had a full matting and framing setup as well as a darkroom. We still do, but the darkroom evolved into her computer lab.
