  • kelleydfp, on 06/09/2008, -66/+40Fabulous photos! Thanks for sharing!
    • jbassfretless, on 06/10/2008, -17/+3i'd totally seen at least one or two of those before. and i'm calling photoshop on the wholly mammoth. everyone knows the bible never mentions them so they can't have existed. buried.
      • GeneralCopper, on 06/10/2008, -3/+4There's always someone who has to bring up the Bible to try and start an argument in the Digg comment section.

        I'll pass and just enjoy the pictures.
      • ModernMindofM, on 06/10/2008, -2/+4Well, jbassfretless, I'm calling photoshop on not just the wholly mammoth, but also the partial mammoth.
      • jbassfretless, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2no one has a sense of humor anymore. i was going to add /s but i thought no, people aren't stupid. and yeah, whatever on the wholly.
    • RedS0x, on 06/10/2008, -3/+4WARNING: COMMENT ABUSE AHEAD!

      Wait a few minutes for the pictures, but they do eventually show up. :D

      • artfiend77, on 06/10/2008, -0/+6I like the photo of the girl being bent over the tennis net...oh wait...
      • jlmillstein, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2The string ray migration picture is amazing
    • djpants428, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2I always love seeing those little question mark icons, thanks!
    • brianjlowry, on 06/10/2008, -2/+9Don't we as a Digg community usually bury comments as generic as these? Which Bot is it again that produces them?
      • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -10/+1are you totally stupid? every last comment on this thread is legit you moron. checkout every single persons profile seperately, you must be like the dumbest person in the internet right?
        • beabis, on 06/10/2008, -0/+8Digg is infested with bots. At least half the the comments and 30% of the submissions are from bots. Profiles are easily faked, and captchas easily hacked. Even the infamous MBM is a bot. Could a real person spend that much time digging? As a matter of fact the comment you are reading at this very moment was generated by a bot.
    • 0ceanic, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2well normally i bury comments as generic as these. but for this time it really is appropriate. i love how these photos are intelligent and original and diverse. and not just pretty or cool. most of these made me think about something, and it was enjoyable.
    • thephuckphase, on 06/10/2008, -2/+1I for one was given as the title promised, because I indeed remain incredulous.
    • Failchan, on 06/10/2008, -2/+2Why must someone always say this?
  • alapoet, on 06/09/2008, -46/+21What stunning photos! Excellent!!
  • bixby1, on 06/09/2008, -27/+42the opening image is really amazing
    • thesupergeek, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2yeah i thought that as well, its pretty cool. I like the one in the tree
    • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -1/+17And the fake one proves the rule that any list of amazing pics has to have at least one thats 100% phtoshopped. (mastodon in ice for those of you who are photo manipulation blind)
      • xister, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1Not to mention the girl on the bottles- the sun seemed to be in 3 different places in the sky that day...
        • bat-21, on 06/10/2008, -0/+3That one's real. I remember seeing it an old issue of Life magazine.
    • theodenking, on 06/10/2008, -1/+5"Various photographers"? They're all ripped from the same guy (Jchip8).

      They don't even to try hide it, it says right there under all the pictures.
    • glxyjones, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2Ok, for that bridge picture...

      Don't you think they would finish with the support tower BEFORE they start attaching pieces which rely on it?!?!
      • paloooz, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1The support towers ARE finished. The crane is still up there because they need to attach the cables for the new pieces they are installing on the surface.
      • sk8away212, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2its a suspension bridge soooo...yea...the supports are already there?
      • itspuddingtime, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2I think you're looking at the proper way to do it right there in that picture.
    • squaredUP, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1bow chicka wow wow!
    • basevillin, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1It reminds me of an old PC game I played. A-10 2: silent thunder.

    • theRIAA, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1ipod?
    • bwa236, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2looks like something I made in Bryce 3D when I was 12
  • jjgames, on 06/09/2008, -22/+9The tree fort looks just like one I build when I was younger. OK. Maybe a little bit better.
  • speakerfordead, on 06/09/2008, -17/+74Stringray Migration rocks!
    • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -1/+14mastodon in ice 100% FAKE
    • daeus, on 06/10/2008, -2/+1YES IT DOES
    • leprix, on 06/10/2008, -0/+5that would make an awesome band name. I'm gonna go see STINGRAY MIGRATION!
    • eviljolly, on 06/10/2008, -4/+1***** THING ROCKS!!
    • virtualfred, on 06/10/2008, -0/+3***** thing was on front page two days ago!
    • eviljolly, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1*****, I missed it.
    • edwartica, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1I really hope this comment thread doesn't end up in the images section. Seriously, if it does, I'm going to freak. Maybe we should sabotage it.
  • pitchblack16, on 06/09/2008, -24/+12cool pics
  • Jasper710, on 06/09/2008, -18/+84I can't believe I haven't even seen one of those...
    • hollywoodphony, on 06/10/2008, -0/+14I can't believe it either. Welcome to the internet.
      • IllBeBack, on 06/10/2008, -4/+4I've seen none of them either, and I've been using the Internet since it began. I'm certain that I've seen thousands of things you never have seen and never will see.

        Why can't people grasp that the depth and breadth of the Internet is far more vast than they think, and their little world of perception is not shared by all?
        • plup, on 06/10/2008, -2/+3Heh, I'm pretty sure I've seen more. So, I win.
        • sceptic101, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1My name starts with B and unless your name is allbert i win
        • bigbadgoat, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1@ sceptic101

          My name is Aaron.

          I'm pretty sure I win by default.
        • bitterbug, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1I'm curious to hear the date you started using the net since you were using it "since it began".
        • TekTrixter, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1"The Snake", if you know what I'm talking about, you've been on the Internet since the (public) beginnings. Otherwise GTFO
    • Merendino, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2I'm with ya jasper.. i haven't seen a single one of those.
    • ohmahgawd, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1I've seen the girl walking on the bottles one a few times before, but other than that, all of these are new to me too!
    • LeopardGirl420, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2Original Content on my Digg?!
    • scimitar91, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1i've seen one of them before. the one from the great depression i thought was a classic. (3 trades, 3 languages, etc.)
  • damnfunny1, on 06/09/2008, -25/+8These pictures are really cool!
  • wootup, on 06/09/2008, -14/+39diggety, seen some before....stingray was just posted...but a lot are new to me.
  • Surferess, on 06/09/2008, -20/+29Hey, that didn't suck! I was thinking "great, another photo show" but it was really good, and I loved the animals.
    Dugg!
    • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -10/+2All your comments are buried by us
      • etsboy1, on 06/10/2008, -2/+1No, all YOUR comments are buried by us...
  • guillebravo6, on 06/09/2008, -29/+8These pictures are definitely unbelievable.
  • LivingMachine, on 06/09/2008, -29/+8Awesome Collection! All of these images deserve the equal amount of praise.
  • FDenD, on 06/10/2008, -24/+5these pictures are awesome chaps
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -9/+4Yeah I thought so too, thats why i shared them with the beautiful people of DIGG!
  • Simonft, on 06/10/2008, -7/+52Apparently those pictures were really cool.
  • Zarokima, on 06/10/2008, -8/+172Wow! Those comments up there totally convinced me these pics are cool! And what's better is the comments were totally legit and definitely not payed off or otherwise gotten just to increase the likelihood of this hitting the front page!
    • crashbang, on 06/10/2008, -1/+7Glad you pointed that out
      • Kazanoe, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1Yeah, wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.
      • chickentonight, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2Give him a break, normally you see those comments and they are all *****.
    • Jenton, on 06/10/2008, -1/+10Is 'payed' a legitimate alternative to saying 'paid', or is this just a misspelling?

      I'm starting to see the word 'payed' a lot more than I should be.
      • heliox, on 06/10/2008, -2/+5They are similar but not he same:
        If you paid attention in school, you know that the past tense of “pay” is “paid” except in the special sense that has to do with ropes: “He payed out the line to the smuggler in the rowboat.”
        Ref: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/payed.html
        • skankyBacon, on 06/10/2008, -9/+1You obviously just looked that up. And speaking of paying attention, maybe you'll notice that he knew the correct term.
        • heliox, on 06/10/2008, -1/+8Of course i looked it up asshat, did you see the reference in my reply?
          Also, did you see who I was replying to? It was someone asking about its useage.

          Go be a hallmonitor for your school, and stay off the interweb.
        • sk8away212, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1lol win
      • IllBeBack, on 06/10/2008, -0/+7Paid is correct. People are systematically dumbing down the language on a daily basis.

        Soon we'll all be speaking in text message language.
    • Archer007, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4I agree! Spam comments that sound artificial and are mispelled and just go on for upwards of a billion years are annoying, repetitive, and useless. Wow, these pictures are cool!
  • Qong, on 06/10/2008, -17/+6That woman walking on those bottles with her toes is amazing, simply amazing.

    Great pictures overall.
  • kelstock, on 06/10/2008, -8/+40Damnit. NSFW on those side images of tennis upskirts. Thanks a lot man

    Edit: ok I know it's coming "Digg NSFW", fair enough.
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -4/+11hmm, sorry about that, obviously it has nothing to do with me as it's not a site which belongs to me, in future i will make sure i don't offend you with ads on the side of a site i submit.
      • kelstock, on 06/10/2008, -3/+10well I appreciate you caring ;-)
      • PHiZ187, on 06/10/2008, -2/+10He really doesn't.
        • IllBeBack, on 06/10/2008, -0/+5kelstock clearly understood that. Both comments were dripping with sarcasm.

          /Cap'n Obvious
    • twiztidsinz, on 06/10/2008, -3/+81upskirt ads?

      Never thought I'd say this, but... DAMN YOU ADBLOCK PLUS!!!!!
    • PHiZ187, on 06/10/2008, -1/+3Get a better W.
    • TekTrixter, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3Thanks for the heads up. Disabled ABP and went back...
  • FattyRooster, on 06/10/2008, -6/+84These pics are awesome!!!!!!!!


    sorry, i just want to get payed and/or be part of the Brotherhood of Generic Comments
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -8/+3Yeah, there seems to be a lot of fairly generic comments, and what will you be getting paid for to comment? I think not lol. get a job :P
    • warispeace21, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4Congratulations, here's your badge and your membership card. We meet every Thursday. Don't be late.
  • whiteknives, on 06/10/2008, -2/+29I have a feeling I'll be seeing these pictures again soon when they hit the front page their third and forth times in the coming weeks...
  • Nettles9, on 06/10/2008, -6/+13Wow, amazing pictures. Does anyone have the back-story on the image of the mastodon being thawed from the ice?
    • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -6/+30yeah, it was faked on May 22/08 in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac pro gayness 5000
      • desuexmachina, on 06/10/2008, -10/+4Do you have any comments on anything other than the one you know is fake? 4 comments saying the same thing within the first page is a bit much don't you think?

        Personally I find a good fake to be as interesting if not more interesting than a decent real photograph. It takes a lot of talent to produce a good fake, not as much to point a camera at something and take a photograph.
        • skankyBacon, on 06/10/2008, -0/+3Um, that's the one Nettles9 asked about.
      • dnields, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1http://www.easst.net/book/print/57
      • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -3/+1Yeah I have one more comment... "Your mom gives good head", you can quote me on that
    • dnields, on 06/10/2008, -3/+2http://science.jrank.org/pages/7416/Woolly-Mammoth ...

      "In 1999, a 23-ton block of ice, containing a fully-preserved 23,000 year-old male woolly mammoth, was excavated from the permafrost of the Siberian tundra. Scientists plan to move the block to an ice cave, where it will be carefully thawed using hair dryers. This specimen will provide new information about the woolly mammoth and, potentially, woolly mammoth DNA for use in cloning experiments."
      • gavin422, on 06/10/2008, -0/+3Yeah, that source looks trustworthy enough...
        • dnields, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1 COMPLETE MAMMOTH FOUND IN SIBERIA
          (Source: THE TIMES, Nigel Hawkes, 10/19/1999)

          The entire body of a woolly mammoth has been exhumed from the ice of Siberia, 20,000 years after it perished. It was dug from a site on the Taimyr peninsula on Sunday and flown by helicopter to the town of Khatanga, 150 miles away. Bernard Buigues, a French member of the team responsible for the operation, said that the beast, named "Zharkov" in honour of the family that found it, was slung under the helicopter and flown to a cave dug in the permafrost at Khatanga, which replicates the dry and chilly conditions where it was found. Exposure to warmer or more humid conditions could cause the remains to start decaying almost instantly. The head of the mammal was taken from the body last year and is already in the cave, where scientists will carry out painstaking research, he said. Buigues said it was the first time that a mammoth had been recovered intact. Previously, the most exciting finds -- also in Siberia -- had been chunks of preserved flesh.

          Two expeditions are in Siberia searching for mammoth remains: a Japanese-led team and the international expedition, called Mammuthus, of which M. Buigues is a member and which also includes scientists from the United States, The Netherlands and Russia. Both groups hope to extract cells from the preserved remains of mammoths and even use them to clone a new mammoth, using a female elephant as a surrogate mother. Scientists hope that when the mammoth has been unwrapped from the icy soil that has preserved it, light will be shed on how the animals lived and why they died out, he said.

          The woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, well-known from cave paintings, stood 13ft high, about the same as a full-grown African bull elephant. The last mammoths died out as recently as 4,000 years ago, but there is still debate about why. Some experts believe that they may have been the first species to be wiped out by man, given that mammoth bones and tusks have been discovered in the habitations of Cro-Magnon cave dwellers. But these may have been taken from the bodies of dead mammoths, for no evidence has ever been found of mammoth traps or of traces of arrow or axe blows on the bones. A more widely accepted explanation is that the mammoths died out because of malnutrition after climate change caused the dry vegetation that they ate to suffer a decline in nutritional quality. There is also growing speculation that disease wiped out the giant mammals.

        • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -0/+3I'm sure they defrosted it with a hairdryer too.. jeebus
  • yuokool12, on 06/10/2008, -13/+3Very cool thanks for sharing
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -1/+3no problem man, glad you appreciate them!
  • YME1280, on 06/10/2008, -1/+16Really liked the shipwreck under the ship for some reason. It reminded me of when I took a three hour tour and was in fact shipwrecked.
  • lucy22, on 06/10/2008, -13/+4Thanks for the great pics. I am going to email to friends.
  • garywoo, on 06/10/2008, -2/+10Is it just me, or does that helicopter cockpit in the first image have an iPod Nano docked in there?
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -2/+5LOL That is exactly the first thing i thought as well :)
  • maxpower2911, on 06/10/2008, -10/+3That's the first worth while thing I've seen here in a while.
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -5/+2Glad you liked it, I thought it would be good to submit to digg.
  • Beanstudd2, on 06/10/2008, -5/+32I love comment spam too!
  • aznpwnzor, on 06/10/2008, -12/+4whoever took these either does or should work for National Geographic. Man.
  • XBunnyRacer, on 06/10/2008, -2/+41MY favorite was the goats climbing the house..

    But I doubt that Woolly Mammoth is real..
    • SuperWinner, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4Its just there to prove the rule that whenever you have any "list of amazing pictures", one must be an obvious total fake that apparently no one can see.
    • boogeymanperson, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4reminded me of the window in cs_italy :)
    • Tuft, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2Yep. Totally fake. For one, It seems really unlikely that the density of a mammoth is the same as water so its either going to sink or float. Not freeze in the middle of a giant ice block. While it is possible for a mammoth to fall through a layer of ice into a lake or river the body wouldnt be in such remarkable shape. It basically looks as if someone photoshopped an image of a fake mammoth onto a glacier.
    • HotN, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1I think it's unfortunate that they put the woolly mammoth one in there. While the rest look cool and legit, it makes me question their credibility. Still dugg though.
  • 24evita, on 06/10/2008, -9/+2Some of these were breathtaking! It is amazing what people can capture and what nature is capable of.
  • LopsidedZebra, on 06/10/2008, -10/+2Dugg for the 2nd pic (the bridge). Absolutely incredible.
    • thesupergeek, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1I think that is the best one myself to be honest zebra
  • JohnnyKinder, on 06/10/2008, -2/+31Dugg...my favorite one was the tennis chick bent over the net while her coach pulled her skirt up! Simply amazing photography, you are right in assuming I just might like it!!
    • gamerzfuse, on 06/10/2008, -3/+1That one was probably the sexiest photo I have seen.. ever.
