What Were They Thinking Back Then?

If you ever have looked through some old photo albums or books (or searched through a stock photo site) , you have certainly seen some things that make you wonder what the heck people were thinking back then.  Well, they had a lot of free time on their hands, for one. There was no TV, no Internet, no video games. And clearly, there were also different attitudes towards safety.

I can only assume that the guy on top was severely mangled when this thing turned over. But with all this being said, you still have to wonder if they would think the same about us.

An Un-PC St. Patrick's Day Greeting

Times have changed, even for St. Patrick's Day. I dare say, you will not see another card like the one below again. Politically incorrect? Perhaps. But still a worth a second look. If for nothing else, let us admire the design and artwork of this vintage St. Paddy's Day card.

Lesson to be learned here: Old greeting cards can become new stock photos, while at the same time, old stock photos can become new greeting cards. Deep stuff, right?

It's All in the Caption: The Surly Years

There's always that one person in the room that can't help but be a Debbie Downer. Malcontentedness is their mantra and pessimism is their passion. While we don't suggest publicly humiliating them, we do feel some retribution is called for. So, today's installment of "It's All in the Caption" gives us a chance for some friendly ribbing at the expense of the surlier ones among us. As always, we will be using stock photos so nobody gets hurt, but it should be a catharsis, nevertheless.

Some of the strangest stock photos you'll see will use nudity to heighten the weirdness. Though the addition of naked body adds to oddness, these photos would generally be weird without. Nudity just adds that double-take effect. We searched for the visually weird without being disturbing. Here are 10 images that fit the weird bill.
