12 Million Historic Photos Scanned to Web

Snosty writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting that British Pathe, a cinema news service dating to the 19th century, has scanned one image for every second of their 3500 hours of 35mm film. That makes for 12 million images covering everything from the Boer War to the Beatles available on their web site!"

Vote JEB! in 2008!

Daddee Bush's stellar record:
1. "Read my lips : know new taxes!"
2. Can you say recession?
3. At war with the A-rabs!
4. ... but didn't have the stones to finish the job!
5. (oh, and don't forget Silverado! Destroying the middle class, phase I)

Jr:

1. What's that you say, A-rabs are flying jumbo jets into American landmarks?!!! I've never heard of such a thing!
2. Talk about bad timing, the economy's in the tank (again!)
3. 87 BILLION?!!! We'll just get the taxpayers (== middle class) to pay for it
4. Hmmmm, maybe we didn't think this "WAR!" thing all the way through...
5. Let's send all our troops to Afghanastan, then cut their pay
6. And while they're all busy in Iraq, let's irritate N Korea's nuclear inferiority complex

Let's be realistic here. Jr's pissed off too many people to possibly win a second term. So let's focus on JEB! in 2008. He's done great things to^H^H for Florida. He can do the same to^H^H the U.S.!

frotieth post!
