Very cool compilation.

The picture below got a lot of press around the world right after it was taken, but it's sort of taken on a myth that is not true (i.e. that they were kissing/making out in the middle of a riot). I saw the two of them in an interview and the guy wasn't kissing her. They were briefly knocked over and before the guy helped her up he said something to the effect of "Are you OK". They never kissed (as the caption on that site says).

Interesting photo nonetheless. And she's got some nice booty.

I was walking my dog once and got caught up in one of those things when I lived in Phoenix. It was very strange, because I didn't see or hear anything until it was almost right on top of me. I knew I couldn't out run it with the dog, so I did what I thought was the next best thing and that was to cover her up the best I could and wait it out.

It felt like I was getting shot with 1000 BB guns at the same time, with all the sand and small rocks raining down on me. The worst of it lasted about a full minute before I felt that it calmed down enough to pick up my dog and run to my apartment.

wow, that's pretty wild, glad you made it out of there!
