Take a good look at this pic. If you don't see something usual about it, sit back a bit...
Apparently, in December 2010, the British government decided as a cost-cutting measure to retire the Royal Air Force's entire fleet of Harrier jump jets (the vertical take-off warplanes that proved to be a crucial asset for British forces in their retaking of the Falklands from Argentina 30 years ago).
The RAF arranged a farewell flypast of the Harriers over the British Parliament. The "visual effect" of that superbly tight formation flying is what you see above. But was it a doctored pic? I don't know, but if it is, it's so typical of the Brit sense of humour.

Brit humour #2
Nick sent me this joke below, which I assume must be of Brit origin...
Little Johnny was at the mall with his mother when a man came walking toward them. Little Johnny hopped up and down, laughed, pointed, and screamed, "Mommy! Look at that bowlegged man!"
His mother was so embarrassed. "John, your manners are atrocious! You need some culture, young man!"
And so, for the next month Little Johnny was made to read Shakespeare every night. When his detention was finally over, his mother again took him to the same mall.
Sure enough, the same bowlegged man came walking toward them. Had Little Johnny learned anything from the great bard?
Yes.
This time, as the man approached, Little Johnny cried out, "Hark! What manner of man is this me sees, who wears his balls in parentheses?"

Help! Call the Poolice!
A gang of robbers in Sydney, Australia, have been throwing excrement at their victims to distract them. The crooks then relieve them of their cash. See the (urgh!) pic and AFP story here:
