Both the Photo of the Week and the Bacon Product of the Week:

I followed this guy for 15 minutes to get a good snapshot of his vanity plate.

Dude, we love that you love bacon.

Unless you’re actually just a fan of Francis Bacon, which is still cool.

Jason from GorillaSushi:
“He might have wanted to memorialize the time he saw Kevin Bacon in Las Vegas.”

Heywood:
“Or maybe the guy is from the small Eastern European town of Bacon, Latvia?”

Every year around the 4th of July, hundreds of eyewitness sightings of the elusive “Paul Revere” are reported. Also known as the “New England Sasquatch” and the “Colonial Skunk-Ape” - recent photographic evidence may offer the first substantial proof that this elusive creature is not the figment of the wild imaginations of shut-ins and hillbillies.

Our Blogadilla research team has acquired recent exclusive footage of this creature in its native habitat. The Paul Revere walks upright like a human being and has coloration which allows it to easily blend-in with its environment [Can you see it? Photos on the right enhanced for better viewing]. Our Blogadilla Heavy Industries research team suspects that this example is a female.

Though technically they aren’t “lost” - they know exactly where they are - this population near the Peruvian/Brazilian border has had no known contact with the “outside world” until last month. Recent aerial photos taken in May 2008 offer the first proof of their existence and provide some clues to their way of life.

Some new facts about this recently discovered tribe:
• They don’t like airplanes.
• They aren’t very good at hitting airplanes with spears or arrows.
• They aren’t interested in maintaining front or back lawns.
• They believe that orange bodypaint is “the new black.”

So far, most of the photos sent by the Phoenix Lander (on Mars) are black and white (or bad false-color images). So . . . here are some good false color images from the Phoenix Lander, colorized and processed by me at Timbotron Heavy Industries Imaging Laboratories:

The barren circumpolar plains - the landing site of the Phoenix Lander.

A vertical cross-section of the horizon and terrain around the lander; a solar panel of the lander fully deployed.

An image of the Phoenix Lander sailing downward through Mars’s atmosphere (you can see the parachute), photo taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; an image of the Lander’s footpad in Martian soil.

Bonus Round: Cool animation of the Phoenix Lander’s descent.
