Photo of the day #27: Abdel Baset al-Megrahi

It doesn’t get any better: The only man convicted for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 that killed 270 people was released today. This is the photo of him getting on a plane to fly back to Libya. Don’t miss the slogan on the stairs.

Photo of the day #26: Obama and Lula

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gifted Barack Obama a Brazilian soccer jersey just two weeks after Brazil beat the U.S. in the final of the Confederations Cup while meeting during the G8 Summit in Italy.
The optimist inside me predicts that in a few weeks, a sad looking Obama will receive yet another autographed soccer jersey, [...]

Photo of the day #25: Lobezno

In Spain, they translate EVERYTHING, even movie titles. Oddly enough, I distinctly remember Wolverine was called “Guerpardo” in the Spanish-dubbed X-Men cartoons.

Thanks to Carolina De La Lanza for the photo.

Photo of the day# 24

Still catching up on my post backlog. But it’s still Passover so I can still post this one: President Obama heading up a Passover Seder in the White House last Wednesday night.

Photo of the day #23

As I walked back to my car after the 2008 Hanukah (Channukkah? Chanuca? Hannukka?) Casino party, in which I lost all my fake money but walked away with six chocolate coins, I was surprised to see my car surrounded and completely trapped by police cars. “LA MIGRA!!!” yelled my hypothalamus – the same thing I yell [...]

Photo of the day #22

Courtesy of Google and TIME Magazine (Google recently put all of TIME’s photo archive online) comes this beautiful photo of a two year old kid having a cigarette. I guess back in 1959 it was O.K. for kids to smoke. Some things should never change.

Photo of the day #21

This is a very cool photograph I was recently sent of my great-grandfather Elías Zack, whom I never met. It must be from the late 20’s or 30’s. Hmmm… interestingly it bears a striking resemblance with a certain photo of mine. It really is pure coincidence. I wonder what else I’ve done that turns out [...]

Photo of the day #20

Below you can see soccer idol Francisco Javier “El Abuelo” Cruz with my friend Yoni Wapinski. Turns out that sometime in the mid-eighties the players of best Mexican soccer team Rayados de Monterrey came over to my school. Someone snapped this photo and it hung on a wall in Yoni’s room ever since, making all [...]

He deserves that and even more for giving us Jar Jar Binks. Unfortunately it’s not real.
