Fun with the British Library

The widespread practice of bird hazing gets too little attention.

The British Library has released an enormous cache of copyright-free images from their collection. First thought of course was how cool is that?! Naturally, my second thought was how can I turn this into something silly?

A few were already silly, but I have idled away some time amending others to amuse myself. I finally realised my word brain needed a rest so this proved ideal. Some examples thereof:

sexiest man vestigial twin flying fish

intense loner
Lars Halversson, 36, SWM, walrus blubber sifter by trade.
Egypt Snow
You may have seen all the photos of the pyramids under snow this week; over a hundred years since it has snowed in Egypt.
It was a pity, because Hermione had done so well in dentistry school and earned the praise of all her instructors.

      I’m so glad. I think that one didn’t get the best response.

    You are so silly. I’m glad I wasn’t drinking tea when I saw the Sexiest Man alive but nodded sagely about the fish.

      It’s funny because it’s true!
