By measuring the distance between the shit stains on the pavement it is possible to calculate both the circumference and the diameter of the tires of the truck which ran over what at one point must have been a most copious steaming pile of feces.

Pretty sure that will be the funniest I'll see today.

That's nasty!

Was that your truck Mike?

*Ash* · 10-30-2009, 11:12 AM

OK... but what makes it not work-safe?
Unless it was told this was rear-excrement I would never have known...

yet again, disappointed

NSFW is a concept that was invented after I left the US and one which really doesn't exist over here, so I really don't have a firm grasp on it and decided to err on the side of caution.

No, that wasn't my truck, by the way.

I attempted to deliberate on it here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/791818-post14.html but Wiki goes into it in more detail... basically to indicate potentially disturbing content most commonly referring to sexually explicit material that someone may take offence to.

Imagine being at work and looking at this and a coworker walking by and seeing it. That determins if it is SFW or NSFW.

Oh yeah, co-worker can be either male or female, young or old, conservative or liberal.

You could have just told us it was a s****y picture Mike.

That's the same method I use to calibrate my bicycle computer. Different marking material though

By analyzing the splatter on the underside of the truck, you could probably determine his speed, too.

Sorry, been watching too much CSI again.

With my photos that would be redundant.

I think I've yet to see a bad photograph from you on this forum Mike. No that wasn't a challenge.

Even in this shot you thought about the composition.
