Thanks for pointing that out, but yes, I do know the difference. The site went down before it even made the frontpage of Digg and it was because of an infinite loop that Apache got sent into. When it happened I only had 22 concurrent HTTP requests which is normal but then Apache's CPU usage started doubling...the sign of an unending request by a user. It has happened for me before as I am a website administrator so maybe you shouldn't assume that people don't know what their talking about, k??
Also, it was the result of a plug-in that I was using in the forum in case you really cared to know...but hey I guess I'm too stupid to be able to figure that out. - chaosmachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31the last one with the statue grabbing the girl is in ottawa.. it commemorates women getting the right to vote.
- r0ck3tm4nn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Well, if it actually loads, I'll let you know...
- mousy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28That guy from the fantastic four plays football ?
- JRumph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Yeah, I think she put "herself" into the statue's hand on purpose. Doesn't really fit with everything else.
- napier, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27From the title I thought this was going to be a bunch of photos of people's angled, heavily contrasted Myspace pictures and then pictures of what they actually look like...
- Sanitarium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Its his other shoe sitting beside him, and it is his foot he is washing.
- tw0k1ngs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26I'm a bit disappointed with the "Leaning Tower" pic... Too cliche, the others are great.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Pshh...Those aren't right angles. Right angles are 90 degrees. Duhhh.
- xpsgen2man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22meh i thought kicking it was a change from leaning on it at least.
- sabster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24yeah its safe for work

Stop hammering that poor dude's server. =) - mvprj84, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28Nice, Digg just sent Apache into an infinite loop on the server...I'm in the process of restarting Apache right now. And yes, it is safe for work.
- Craga89, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Maybe they should add a duggmirror link to the sites interface. Could work...
- Alchemeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: What happens when you take a photo at the right angle?
- Craga89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm just glad he's not in goal.
- shakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"How was it that both the tower and the person were in focus there?"
On a camera with manual settings you can set a small aperture, which gives you a larger depth of field. If the guy were too close to the camera, the tower would likely be out of focus, but by moving away from the person the photographer was able to get both in focus when using the small aperture. The photo is cropped to make the person look closer to the camera. - chibigoku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9The thing I dont get about that one though is to me, it looks like she just ran into it, and it is touching her. if thats the case, it doesnt really fit all the rest, where the perfect angle made it look like something was going on that wasnt. but that one is just taking a picture of a statue holding a womans breast.....
- sancho320, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@mvprj84
Wow!
I don't know what the hell you just said, but I'll take your word for it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9i don't get what's funny about the one at the beach.
- dguralnick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Don't forget this classic golf photo.

I couldn't stop laughing after reading your comment but I just wish the Digg community would realize that not every site that crashes is because they are using a shared server. We pay good money each month to get a dedicated server and maintain websites for several companies. Server failures are a fact of life and sometimes they happen at the most inopportune time, but as an administrator we learn to deal with them the best we can.
It was difficult for me to get the server back on its feet because every time I would re-enable all of the processes it would get murdered with HTTP requests and MySQL queries (over 50 a second) and there wasn't enough time for caching mechanisms to kick back in.
One thing that is for sure is that I am glad there is a site like duggmirror that is available for users to turn to when sites go down. The thing I hate the most about the commenting on Digg when a site goes down are the 50 comments that are along the lines of "OMG THE SITE IS DOWN OMG!?!?!?! WHAT THE HELL" and most of the comments following the first are all the same. Maybe there should be a "Digg Class" that teaches common courtesy in comments? - heoko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That picture is of me, Taken at Barrow, Alaska on the coast to reach Point Barrow. I remember that day, I didn't think it was cocaine at all, i thought it was fun blowing the foam around : (. Well at least some cocaine lovers thought it was funny. I was in high school when that picture was taken, about the year 2000 is when the pic was taken, by the family that was taking care of me. It was a bent plastic pipe that I was holding, i just rotated it to look straight. I have no clue how this pic found its way to the internet, but hell I now got mads street cred.
- alej744, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Yeah that one sucked.
- jeremychoi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6cocaine
- imdwalrus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine
"The cocaine typically is poured onto a flat, hard surface (such as a mirror) and divided into "lines", which are then insufflated. The amount of cocaine in a line varies widely from person to person and occasion to occasion (the purity of the cocaine is also a factor), but one line is generally considered to be a single dose and is typically 35mg-100mg. However as tolerance builds rapidly in the short-term (hours), many lines are often snorted to produce greater effects."
Apparently, he's hit the "many, MANY lines" phase. :¬) - bobmagoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6*insert mandatory plug for duggmirror greasemonkey script*
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1807 - Crass22, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5HAH that would probably have been just as interesting.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ah right. it just looked off topic like being there on purpose, not needing a special photo angle.
- chesterjosiah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3And how about the full link to duggmirror for those of us who read Digg on a mobile device?
- Daemons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Reminds me of a joke...
A wealthy man has three women who he is interested in marrying, but he can't decide which. He gives each of them $5000 to see what they would do with it to help him decide.
The first woman uses the money to get breast implants and a complete makeover. She tells him this is so she can be pleasing to his eye. He is impressed.
The second woman uses the money to buy him new golf clubs, new gizmos for his computer, and all sorts of nice things. She tells him this is because she loves him so much that she wants to make him happy. He is impressed.
The third woman invests the money in the Stock Market, more than doubles it, pays him back his $5000 and invests the rest in a joint account. She tells him this is so they can have a nest egg for their future. He is impressed.
So he marries the one with the biggest *****. - mt066, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4How was it that both the tower and the person were in focus there?
- PaGaNism, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No there's no one else there. The soldier has taken his boot off to wash his foot, placed the boot under himself and is almost sitting on the it. The picture is taken from such and angle that it appears he is crounching with both is booted feet on the floor.
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@bobmagoo
Some of us aren't using Firefox. That's great for those who are but it would be better to have a link in the real site UI. - unleashedlive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3his boots off it's just sitting there.
- brotherfranciz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Nope, his name is Vince Grella and he plays as a defensive midfielder for the Socceroos (and Parma in the Serie A I believe...). Looks like the World Cup game where the Aussies won 3:1 against the Japanese...
- WestDC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Personally I'd like to see what would happen if you were to take a photo at the WRONG angle.
- Sp0rAdiC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2retrorufio: how do you figure?
- redthirteen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1wow. these photos are very funny... these are funny...
- imajin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2what happened to the good ol days when people who begged to be dugg down were mercilessly dugg up?
- DarkDays, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That guy with the "three" legs took me a while =P
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1That's great find

http://nano-tech.freehostia.com - daimposter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i'm with some people on this....i was expecting pictures at 90degrees. I'm not joking, i assumed "right angle" , when on a tech site like digg, would mean 90 degrees.
- haloevo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1those are pretty funny :P
- jetfuel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"What happens when you take a photo at the right angle?"
If it has something to do with Chuck Norris, I'm leaving. - elliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is that Lenin shooting hoops?

http://jeniya.info - drewskyjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool pictures! On a another note, I have to say it blows me away that my 73 year old non-techie mom sent this to me a couple of days ago. I never would have thought that she would ever be faster than Digg...
- ThePharaoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No pics come up in the original or the mirror...
