He's been posing for pictures like that for years now. Seen him talk about it on Graham Norton I think it was, where he explained that when he started posing for pictures, there'd be hugs and "arm around shoulder" embraces, but he soon realised that it could end up with unintentional contact either by himself or the fan posing with him, so he started doing his No Contact poses.

I think it was Will Smith who spoke about that on Graham Norton. Unless Keanu did also and I missed it. It must be something that's taught in celebrity training school.

Cubed water? Why can't it just say ICE?

Probably because it gives you the option of water and crushed or cubed ice. Maybe they thought there wasn't any need to say Crushed Ice and Cubed Ice because it was pretty obvious what they're talking about and they probably thought people would be smart enough not to read it as Crushed Water and Cubed Water.

What is there to be confused about update was probably triggered because of the bug allowing a vulnerability. The patch is said to slow down processing up to 30%

You must have been updated already :P

That's not a girl looking back, her picture is in the magazine the person is reading but the angle of the magazine makes it look like her head is on the reader's body.

That's actually part of a videogame, I was only looking at its website again yesterday! Depending on the order in which you click them, each of the "objects/creatures" develop up to a certain point which give the game a different outcome. That ^^^ only happens if you click the items in the right order and they all reach the maximum development.

Here it the main website of the creator. http://www.eyezmaze.com/

There are also lots of other games based on the same principle on that site, they're all suitable for young children, too (some might be a tiny bit scary, but that's about it).

Meh when we were kids we used to get a pack of sweet cigarettes. Found them recently rebranded as candy chalk.

When "we" were kids, cigarettes didn't have the same stigma that they do today.

Does vaping have a stigma? I rarely hear anyone giving out about it.

That said I would say the pic is fake.

I don't think there is much of a stigma to it, but I would equate a vape toy for kids to pretend cigarettes for kids. You certainly shouldn't be encouraging either of them

I'm pretty sure that's a lighthouse, which would explain why it was built there.


EDIT: It's in Iceland, it's the þrídrangar Lighthouse.

That makes more sense now. Personally, I would have chosen a safer location than that narrow rock to build a lighthouse. But hey, It's an interesting looking place which I haven't seen before.

You can see an orca in the bottom right of the screen at about the 50s mark in the video! (spotted by someone else).

It's much safer to build one inland though. 40km inland should be safe enough, just ask the people of Kells. Never heard of a shipwrecking near there.

Hopefully some other family adopted it, got it taxed, NCTd and is now living happily with them.

Remember people, the right thing to do is to save your car from a shelter, rather than getting one from an unlicensed car breeder.

But what do you do when your new car decides to sh*t behind the sofa. You know... that new car smell!

At that time, we did not believe in "adapting to foreign audiences", why would a British newspaper use American spelling, the editor would have changed it if the test was wrong!
