I'm honestly sorry to report that this awesome post is a repeat.

Okay I give up on this game.
I spent two hours looking for the differences and I can't find any.

If you look closely I'm there holding a copy of the Treaty of Westphalia.

Ever get the creeping feeling, after posting, that even though you didn't see it here, someone probably already posted it?
Yeah...

How many is that in dog pixels?

Calculating dog pixels gets tricky, as they don't see all colors. Beyond that, I can't help ya.

There is a difference. Clarence Thomas has been sleeping longer in this one.

I have a copy of this picture in 1:1 scale. It's rolled up in a tube in the garage.

Hey look, there I am. I'm the guy waving the flag if you scroll way to the right and then zoom in all the way.

Wow.
Y'see, this is the sort of thing you always see in bad spy movies (e.g. "Enemy of the State") and assume is impossible: some camera takes a picture of an event where there are 2 million people in the audience, and then we zoom in on one person and can read the name of the magazine they're holding.
Except no it's no longer science fiction; now it's really happening and it's been done by a civilian.
I'm not a tinfoil-wearing nutjob, but I will confess that this makes me...uneasy. Am I alone on this?

Uneasy? Why? Were you reading the New Porker?
