  1. ^ good idea that . . . a traditional (Thailand only) 'Landscape Photography' thread. Someone wanna start it?

    It's a good idea for a thread I agree......but....but

    It's not what Kan is saying or asking.

    He wants to make a thread similar to the last one where others say what they see in an image and crop that part out and repost it.

    I suggest the name of Picture within the Picture, or something.....Shaggys I see you see sounds better though IMo.

  2. The $10 IKEA Piece: An Interesting Social Experiment on the Value of Art

    When Peter Lik sold a print to a collector for $6.5 million last year, people balked at the news.

    Lik is known to be a savvy businessman who has raked in over $440 million by churning out and selling his “collectible”

    prints to deep-pocketed people who want to invest in his art, so why should his prints be worth so much?

    The Internet media channel LifeHunters recently did a social experiment that explores how people perceive and value art.

    They placed a $10 IKEA print in the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem, The Netherlands, and asked “art experts” what

    they thought about it.

    A team member named Boris approached art aficionados and asked them about the illustration of a spider and a whale,

    which he claimed was created by an artist named “Ike Andrews.”

    “You don’t buy this in a cheap store,” one woman says. Another man says he would pay €2.5 million, or $2.7 million,

    if he were given the opportunity to buy it. Though, “If it’s more, I’d think it’s too pricey,” he says.

  3. Why has this thread gone dead?

    Nothing happening?

    If there was nothing happening and it was a joke, I would guess he would be milking his story and peoples interest.

    Maybe he's moved out...hopefully he has.

    If this story is true I wish him and his family the best, he's left some evidence behind anyway at least.

  4. Google The Mirror or The Sun, infact any UK tabloid newspaper they have contact telephone numbers for anyone with a story that would be publishable in their paper.

    You could try AFP and Reuters as they have reporters living in Thailand.

    You will also get a pay cheque for it and get your story published worldwide to millions.

    If you do though you will probably have to leave Thailand for your own safety.

  5. North south?... theres one on Koh Lon east of Phuket at cruiser island resort, (oh P.S The pic is not mine its the same one as on their website though).

  6. All that money spent on searching to understand things.

    Yet meanwhile back at the ranch people are starving to death and dying of disease.

    Speaks volumes....

    Do you realize how many things that we take for granted today were developed or invented to make this space exploration possible? Do you realize how much of it is used in the ordinary economy? A lot of it makes peoples' lives better every day. Here's the short list of things developed by NASA. LINK

    Artificial limbs
    Baby formula
    Cell-phone cameras
    Computer mouse
    Cordless tools
    Ear thermometer
    Firefighter gear
    Freeze-dried food
    Golf clubs
    Long-distance communication
    Invisible braces
    MRI and CAT scans
    Memory foam
    Safer highways
    Solar panels
    Shoe insoles
    Ski boots
    Adjustable smoke detector
    Water filters
    UV-blocking sunglasses

    None of which was found out in space.

    If they find another habitable planet someday, they will rape it just like they are raping this one.

    Man worships a god he can not see, yet destroys the god he can see.

    Pretty much sums up the average homosapien.

    This planet belongs to the real animals.

    Where would we be in this world without golf clubs, freeze dried food and powdered baby formula?

  7. My side ribs have been hurting for over a month. I thought I might need to get them xrayed.

    If you have fell over broke/fractured them...just leave it theres nothing that can be done other than wait for them to heal. (In which case you haven't as you would know about it without a doctor)

    You could have even torn the tendon stuff that lays beneath them.

    I forget the name but had all 3 cases.

    No need to radiate yourself, you can tear that stuff just through coughing.
