Not if you count Sandra Bullock or George Clooney.

These are amazing though.

All the pictures starting with Hitler's and after that really sort of blow my mind. Insanely cool stuff.

If my mom heals from her back surgery alright, my family is going to take a trip to Belize. I've always wanted to go see the Mayan Ruins, so going to Belize was like the one thing I've stood up to my family about wanting to do. We've never traveled out of the country (besides going to Niagara Falls/Toronto, which are closer to us than New York City, so it doesn't really count), so if we actually make this happen, I'll be sure to take some pictures and post them here.

How do you start the Eiffel Tower?

Like a group of guys was assigned, and one of them walks over and picks up a hammer and is like, "Well, I guess let's get started"? I wish I could travel time and see the very first moment of some of these buildings.

I'd rather be the guy starting the tower than that guy finishing it..
