Great list. Might want to apply the NSFW tag because of number 6 though
lol. those were great. wtf is with 24?
Skelly: oops – I forgot about that one – rather than tag is NSFW just because of one image I have replaced it with a safe one.
Emily: Either Alien impregnation or a gust of wind I suspect
HAHA great pics, some of those are classic especially 10!
Juggz: 10 has been on the site before but I HAD to include it here. I can't help but laugh every time I see it.
Funnny list. You realize number 17 is photoshopped? I remember seeing it on Fark a long time ago. There may be others too. Number 9 is weird, because the girl farther away is still bigger than the one in front. And I don't trust #16 either.
Jeroen: I did figure that one or two might be. I didn't realize that 17 was.
Several of these are well-known photoshops
One of my personal favorites is the Georgia Bulldogs mascot almost de-nutting an Auburn wide reciever in the end zone. Don't spike the ball on Uga.

rp: hah that is great.
such a funny list.
Interesting, although 17 and 16 are almost certainly fake.
Most of these are from mmoabc check out the ones that weren't on the list!! http://my.mmoabc.com/article/Michael/1841/The-Fun…
I have a new #1 for this list. http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/eagan_big.jpg
nothing perfectly illustrates the concept of timing like this one. his stomach had to be rumbling before this. the camera snapped at the exact moment. the rest of the team is still totally oblivious. this is why camera's were invented. to perfectly capture a moment in time.
DiscHuker: ARGH! I was eating a corn chip with houmous on when I looked at that!
unintended result but a normal reaction. that picture is glorious.
All those pictures are awesome, but after reading comment 1 I really want to see that one now haha
DiscHuker: glorious in its grossness
dangorironhide: haha – it was a slipped nipple
Oh I do love it when you do the picture ones… funny, haunting, amazing, Love 'em all. Thank you.
Fallenangel: thank you
I must confess – I love putting the photos together
Beautiful poem, Colleen. Depression is so misrndeustood. We all go through it to some degree or another, though for most of us it’s situational. I always say that when I first moved to Las Vegas, “I was so miserable, even Jesus would cross the street if he’d seen me coming.” Those who suffer from chronic depression truly suffer. I really feel for them. Good job in shedding some light on the topic from the perspective of someone who’s been there.
Ha Ha! Great list! No controversey here, just damn funny!
angelina: I thought we could do with a day free of controversy
DiscHuker: When I read your quote I was afraid that it was a pic of the unfortunate weight lifter.
oh, geez. i've seen that one. i woulda definately included a NSFW or NSFAEE (not safe for anyone's eyes ever)
Oooh . . . the weightlifter . . . Poor guy! Talk about sacrificing your body for the sport!!
jfrater: Free of controversy? No such thing on this website . . . that's what makes it so damn good!
What's with all the shops?
#30
That women is truly frightening.
She'd make a great film villain, regardless of her acting skills. Why? The first two words that came to mind when I saw that photo was: pure evil.
Pretty neat what a high speed shot says about the human body and physics. Some of these definitely look photoshopped, but that's ok. Is 27 just about her facial expression? 20 and 22 are my faves. Would love a link to the previous #6
The guy with the super funny face in #1 is missing
What part of this is NSFW? Anyway…these were really laugh out loud funny, but the riding one made me cringe, especially after reading recently that there have been 11 fatalities in eventing (the sport pictured) between 11/06 and 11/07, a record high. =( The horse in the photo almost certainly fell on her.
hey this is very funny….
wAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA…..
from the start i thought this is not funny but when i see all… its great……
gr8 list
#7 is my fav
Im very suspicious of 13,16 and 17. Normally when it doesnt feel right it isn't.
LOL Number 5 amuses me very much.
you definitely need to include the rex grossman/green bay packers picture in this group. ha its hilarious!
http://blogs.smarter.com/sports/2007/08/22/the-da…
Great list, though there are a lot of shops included.
I do like the #1 pic. Take another look, does no one want to protect the little girl! Great parental instincts in action!
ps no the guy shielding the wrong side of her head does not count…
13 looks like the soccer ball was added (it looks to big). 10 very funny. I bet she could grow a 5 o'clock shadow. Number 5 is too funny. No its TOO funny.
I got a e-mail recently with Grossman and the packers.
The best(?) part about #1 is that the bat hit the only person who didnt try and block it..I dont know why, but thats just brilliant.(and the little girl at the very bottom whos so bored by watching baseball doesnt even realize whats happening!)
and lets not forget:
To not F*!$ with Vinnie Jones'! http://haacked.com/images/haacked_com/WindowsLive…
and Phil Babbs' little run in.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti4vpffQFVo
(Sorry, could only find a video, but I remember seeing a really good photo just moments before he hit the post, and the horrific expression on his face was just about one of the funniest (yet painful) things i've seen.)
Dont f*!k with Vinnie Jones!: http://haacked.com/images/haacked_com/WindowsLive…
Phil Babbs' run in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti4vpffQFVo
(could only find the video, but there is a brilliant photo somewhere…)
This is great!
20Fan20: What do you mean no body wants to protect her? That guy in pic #1 has clearly taken it upon himself to shield her with his face. I'm pretty sure he's the Terminator……or possibly Chuck Norris.
20Fan20: Maybe the guy who is protecting the wrong side of her face is about to push her down to help her get out of the way (though a little late). The little girl looks like she is getting ready to fly or is hugging an angel or something.
Ouch. 7 looks painful.
And number 3 looks like a wonderful piece of modern art.
lol, 13 is fake. The ball is added. The background is blurry while the ball is not.
Yes, #7 is painful, I've had that happen to me a fair few times. Though the baseball in the face in #20 has to do more damage.
Picture from my fave sport, Aussie Rule:

Apologies for the temporary holder images – they have all been link jacked and I am trying to make up for the massive loss in bandwidth we are experiencing as a result.
YOUR PICTURES ARE STOLEN FROM HERE! http://my.mmoabc.com/article/Michael/1841/The-Fun…
SHAME!
DAILY RUMORS: six of thirty are from mmoabc – and I have left their watermarks on them and copied them to my own server – I am not stealing their bandwidth like you were stealing mine.
Also, note: I do not feel so insecure that I need to delete your comments as you have done on your site.
How old are you?
what the hell? compiling a list of "best of" photos means that you are going to be using other people's photographs, what a nimrod. I really don't see the problem here. I hardly think that mmoabc is responsible for taking the pictures themselves, however it's nice that they added their watermark to the photo's without giving proper credit to the actual photographer.
xdarkhor*****: he is annoyed because he pasted 15 of the ones from here on his site and got to the front page of digg with it – he is now being slandered to hell there and on reddit because he didn't just copy the images, he copied my introduction and hotlinked – meaning my bandwidth (which I have to pay for) was being used for his site. I removed the images which meant they vanished from his site too and he is angry with me.
I have said this on other lists – I don't mind people using my lists as a source – even copying parts of it verbatim, as long as they don't hotlink my images which uses up a LOT of my system resources – and as we all know, we are still trying to get uptime problems solved here.
LOL i laughed soo hard at number 15!
i notice he didn't come back, jfray. keep up the good work. maybe one day you'll see him on the pitch and you can do a live recreation of #4. (you be the guy in red, though)
DiscHuker: hahaha
#17 is a proven Photoshop job, but the rest were pretty neat.
In picture #1: If that bat flew left two people, it would have killed that baby!!
#29 almost seems out of place. If I'm remembering this all correctly, thats Bobby Orr and this is an overtime Stanley Cup game. Bobby had just passed the puck behind the net and when hit was passed back to him he took a shot (I'm pretty sure he had tripped or something and was in midair) and scored, winning the game.
All the others are more of a funny/shocking nature, Orr's picture is a historical sports moments.
#7 made me snort (and spit a little)
#10 they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm not quite sure even a beholder would want to get to close to that…
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who puts up frames bfreoe I have pictures printed for them! I had picture-less frames up in Gigi’s room for at least 6 months bfreoe I finally did anything with them! That was my big project last week editing and printing pictures for all the the frames in our house
