When you click on this link you can click on the picture and guess if they close up of the tie is either being worn by Bush or Obama.
It’s a decent timewaster, but I think the secret is looking at the knot of the tie.
British teddy bears strapped to helium weather balloon reach the edge of space
It’s not often that Britain can claim a win in the space race. But these teddy bears drifting nearly 20 miles above Earth have become the first soft toys to take part in extra-vehicular activity (to use correct NASA jargon) at such an altitude.
The soft toys MAT and KMS were named after the first initials of the pupils who helped make their space suits.
Along with their two intrepid colleagues, they were strapped to a beam attached to a foam-padded box containing instrumentation and cameras on Monday.
After rising to an altitude of around 100,000ft, a webcam caught their ‘space-walk’ for posterity before the helium balloon burst.
They then fell to Earth before a parachute opened automatically to provide a soft landing.

The Carnegie Deli Pastrami Sandwich Mitosis
I think the best burger and fries I’ve ever had was at the Carnegie Deli. They are also known for fantastic cheesecake and plenty of meat in their sandwiches. There are two locations, the original in NYC and one in Las Vegas, but the Vegas location doesn’t even compare to the original location.
In this piece, some wanted to know how many normal-sized sandwhiches he could make out of a pastrami sandwich from the Carnegie Deli.
