Don't have to be an ass about it. It's a black and white picture of someone on fire. There isn't a ton of detail.

I honestly don't see how this turned from Rare/Historic Pictures to the Blockland Riddler Convention.

You're all being snobs a few pages ago about how you knew all this stuff and then a really famous picture comes along that no one knew. This inconsistency makes me very angry

My dad's brother, or my uncle, but I like to type so I put my dad's brother bunked in the same barracks with Elvis.

No one is going to know all of these, plus, no one said that they knew all of this.

I'm pretty sure it's only a theory. Unless an actual Iwo Jima soldier confessed.

In a documentary I watched on Iwo Jima (done by the guys who make all the best WWII documentaries) one of the soldiers they interviewed said that they did have to take the picture twice, because the first picture was done using the only flag they had on hand, which wasn't what you'd call a particularly big one, so after the fighting started to die down they got a proper flag from one of the supply ships and re-took the picture with it.

Both times the picture was taken with actual soldiers, though, they had to put on a show for the folks back home anyway

I didn't see anyone being a snob, especially not Dan so there was really no need to lash out at him.

Riddler was a pretty big part of history, so most pictures involving him class as historic.
Therefore; perfectly okay for this thread

Bill and Hilary Clinton. :D

Yes, but it did go a little bit overboard.

Bill and Hilary Clinton. :D

I never knew they grew up as teenagers. Who knew in a few years they would live in the White House.

Hillary isn't bad looking in that picture. Kinda gives you a perspective on everyone, we've all changed quite a bit through life, and that's how it always goes, but sometimes we still retain that certain genuine appearance that makes us recognizable throughout our lives.

These are really cool pictures. :D

This picture means a lot to me. It's Palestine before the state of Israel was established.
