I've been putting together a slideshow for my Lola's 100th birthday coming up in October.  It's been a lot of work scanning photo after photo, but well worth it especially when you come across photos like the one above. 

I'm not sure what year this photo was taken, but it was well before my time.  Pictured are my cousins, aunts, Lola and Lolo enjoying cold bottles of Coke during a hot day in the Philippines.  This photo is screaming retro Coke advertisement.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight after viewing agentparanoia's "Childhood Fears" photoset.  These photos are down-right scary.  View the set if you dare.   Link.

Over the weekend, Jason, Colleen (Jason's mom) and Ted (beekeeping expert) split their hive in order to set up a secondary hive in another location.  Chris Wiggins witnessed the hive splitting and lived to tell the tale.  He wrote a great post over on his blog Beautiful Bokeh and also shared amazing photos he took on that day.

Update:  Jason wrote up a post over at Make: Blog about his hive splitting experience and provides information on how to start your own backyard beehive.  Link.

Doctor Beef has a fantastic flickr set titled Storm Troopin' which depicts the secret lives of Storm Troopers.   Who knew Storm Troopers are just like you and me. 

That has got to hurt.  Don't miss out on looking at the larger image.  The expressions of the people surrounding this guy are priceless.  Link

flickrvision is a site where you can see images uploaded to flickr throughout the world in real-time.  It has a 3-D view, however, I'm unable to try out at the moment because it's being hit hard by digg users.  From what I hear it's a very cool feature.  Someone should definitely make a screensaver out of this.  Link.

Here are a series of photos that show us how NOT to release a bear into the wild.  I bet you have an idea of how this ends.  Link.

Over at srsly cool, rare color photos from World War I have been posted.

Little is known about each individual photo, they are believed to be digitally coloured. During WW1 colour photography was in it's infancy, pioneered by photographer Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud using Autochrome plates invented by the Lumiere brothers. These photos are either digitally remastered or works by Tournassoud.

Update: I originally located these photos at a forum but thanks to digg have since found a more descriptive source. I have updated the information on all of the photos but sadly the real details for most have been lost in time.

Here is a gallery of bullets fired through various objects.

Here is an interesting photo gallery of bees creating a hive in a bell jar.  [via digg]
