- ScottyAnimal, on 12/13/2008, -10/+472That is only 21 words. You aren't doing it justice. I want my 979 words.
- SheilaNoya, on 12/13/2008, -6/+428Great photo. Sorry to hear about what happened to your friend, but I'm glad you explained the shot. Now we won't have to wonder if this is a photo of someone who was partially eaten by Zombies.
Hope he's doing OK. - michaelpinto, on 12/13/2008, -10/+273I love a photo that makes you think a bit...

- jstowell, on 12/13/2008, -3/+67That's stupid.
What the hell ARRRRR you thinking? - WestDC, on 12/13/2008, -13/+73Since when does C3PO wear shorts?
- alapoet, on 12/13/2008, -13/+71Great shot! Poignant.
- bob501337, on 12/13/2008, -11/+65and their penises converted into vaginas...

- Vicken, on 12/13/2008, -39/+89Zombie?
- Steeeeve1, on 12/13/2008, -4/+53You spelled penis wrong 352 times, stupid. God, you're so stupid.
- bobsbones, on 12/13/2008, -20/+69"I have poor taste in shorts".
"Oh, and a prosthetic leg." - quomen, on 12/13/2008, -7/+43So, what do these 1000 words say?
- swmbuk, on 03/30/2009, -0/+36lots of blurring, am i to think every other program / website is porn!?
- WhiteRaven, on 12/13/2008, -12/+47I want to say something about the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" that really has nothing to do with this picture... though I will use it as an example.
Can it accurately be said that it would take a thousand (or indeed thousands) of words to accurately and completely describe a picture? Certainly. However, the converse is also true. One may go through thousands of pictures trying to equal the meaning and eloquence of a single sentence and still not get it right. And if you want to actually communicate a specific idea... pictures are not up to the task while a few words can do the job.
Take this picture for example. I read that the person pictured lost their leg in a motorcycle accident. Okay. Someone had to use words to tell me that. The first moment I saw it, I thought it might me a war vet. So, what the picture *tells* us isn't actually very much when compared with what just a few words can do. We know a person has lost a leg. All the "thousand words" beyond that may mislead us or be an aside to the intended message.
Of course, a few words *and* a picture gives greater emotional impact along with precision. - ursername180, on 12/13/2008, -0/+32And the middle one's prosthetic.
- shcon, on 12/13/2008, -1/+33... unreg, you're kind of a douche-bag aren't you?
- MWeather, on 12/13/2008, -1/+32"Now if the image was of a returning war veteran whose leg had been blown off by an IED, then you'd have a point."
Why? He lost his foot in a war, an activity he choose to participate in. Plenty of people are injured in war. - cJw314, on 12/13/2008, -4/+31@fakekevinrose: Are you blind or stupid?
- Swarmie, on 12/13/2008, -5/+32It happened after a motorcyclecrash. I do not know about you, but doesn't inspire me with deep questions other than "why were you so stupid?".
- Vidalsassgirlie, on 12/13/2008, -4/+28Lieutenant Dan? Lieutenant Dan!
You got new legs. New legs! - charm803, on 12/13/2008, -0/+24pixels does not equal words.
- souljaboytellem, on 12/13/2008, -2/+26Hmmm...I'm still thinking zombies were somehow involved in this...
- mozert, on 12/13/2008, -10/+30thanks for the Terminator 4 teaser
- shpoffo, on 12/13/2008, -1/+21tell your friend to walk straight with his right foot, rather than splayed out like in the photo, else he'll get knee problems in a decade or so and be in a world of pain. This advice may commonly be read like an ass-statement, but I'm intending the health of your friend
- lukemh, on 12/13/2008, -3/+23ummmm fail.
he sees himself as whole...but what other see (his shadow) is a guy without a leg. - Danltn, on 12/13/2008, -0/+19Nope, words are of logarithmic order.
One picture = 1,000^1.
A picture in a picture = 1,000^2 = 1,000,000. - protodon, on 12/13/2008, -3/+20Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
- Shazbuckle, on 12/13/2008, -1/+18What are you, twelve?
- Sublex, on 12/13/2008, -1/+18"This picture was taken by my friend who lost his foot in a motorcycle accident. He was recently released from hospital."
Dude. Come on. - palehorse864, on 12/13/2008, -8/+25Your friend should find a contest to submit this to. This is a really unique image, and the kind of thing that wins prizes, sometimes even money.
- pe5t1lence, on 12/13/2008, -0/+16No, Terminator.

- flix820, on 12/13/2008, -14/+27I have a prosthetic leg.... 5 words
- blackmoth, on 12/13/2008, -0/+12Could that be because the shadow on the right is being diffused through hair on his leg, and the one on the left around the hard edges of the prosthesis? Or did I simply fail to detect sarcasm in your post? I do that a lot.
- ligyron, on 12/13/2008, -0/+11There's well over a thousand words in the replies to this picture, so I guess a picture is worth a thousand words
- shaitanx, on 12/13/2008, -1/+12palin2012, lol
