    I just stumbled upon this photo of Beirut from space on Reddit but its original source was never mentioned. Anyone knows where can we find similar photos with higher resolution?

  • Superb parking skills

    This Barbie Hummer was spotted at Le Mall parking occupying not just one, but two handicapped parking spaces. Way to go missy!
