Well the hotly awaited verdict on the pic from MrRoops, AW resident dentist, is that an x-ray wouldn't pick up hairs and thumbnail detail. She thought it was an obvious fake, though it had me fooled for a while, I agree that x-rays as art is an interesting idea. My own dentist uses a new 10% normal radiation dose system which would be ideal for inanimate objects. If you've got any questions about x-rays Liandra might PM Mrs R for you. Dentists use them everyday and know a certain amount about them. She gave me this one. http://txc.net.au/~mapie/xray.jpg
It's a subject matter that sadly I'm all too familiar with myself.
I think to make the x-ray video, I could use a static cam and light everything with UV, then take the same shot with people and superimpose, so they would be see-through and animate real x-rays on top of that later.

No wonder it's called a "boner".

I don't think I insinuated that the image wasn't genuine? I believe that it is. I was calling the piece 'art' (but everyone has differing viewpoints on this, so that's another heady can o' worms).
Having had a fair amount of (comparitively) unsexy x-rays taken of my person over the past few years, I can estimate from experience that the lack of bone visability in the man's thighs doesn't necessarily indicate image doctoring - just relative thickness distancing flesh and bone, dictating clarity of detail.

I'm a big fan of x-ray images (as mentioned, I've had a few of my own, which began my fascination with the medium) - and because I'm in a sharing kinda mood, here's a favourite from my own personal stash. The 'loveheart' plate was there to protect my reproductive girlie bits from extraneous radiation, and is probably the main reason why I find this image so appealing.

Wow! Nice curves.

Some years ago Prince Charles was visiting Australia and was in Far North Western Queensland in a town called Hughenden, where he was called upon to open a new
community centre and Public Library...

It was the middle of Summer 38 degrees celsius in the shade and up rolls Prince Charles in a suit wearing a Fox Fur Hat....

The Town Mayor Greeted Prince Charles and the Ceremony went off without a hitch, after the cutting of the tape and a few formalities, the Mayor took Prince Charles aside and thanked him for Opening the Library... then went onto enquire "Your Highness it is 38 degrees today and you are wearing this Fox Fur Hat, Can I ask you why you are wearing it????"

Prince Charles then replied..... "It was Mothers' idea"

The Mayor then said "how so ?"

Prince Charles said " Well I said to her Mummy, I'm opening a Library in Hughendon what should I wear ?? and she replied Hughendon, Wherethefoxhat ?? !!!!"

Hope you are smiling Liandra..... you always make us smile darlin'

My these threads move quickly when you are typing and pouring beer......and trying to remember jokes .....

I like it, though I do agree it has a photo shopped quality to it as each
party is shot differently yet are meant to be in the same shot.... still not
an entirely bad effort

I was Googling 'nurse porn' (I have my reasons) and stumbled upon this gem. Whether it's a nurse or not isn't really important - but whomever took this x-ray was serious about his/her craft - the woman's head is shaved and the detail throughout is exquisite.
As said, I love this picture.

I notice that everyone seems to assume that the head is that of a woman. Why? Given that it is shaved, wouldn't you think it more likely to be a man's head?

I make no claims about being able to determine gender from a head x-ray :-)

I thought we had gotten an expert opinion that hair would not show up on an x-ray.

P.S. I think Liandra might be gone for the holidays, I haven't seen a post from her in about a week, and I sent her a PM several days ago that she still hasn't read.

Catt, I bought this book after staring at the cover in the bookstore: Teeth

The book was a solid "meh", but it was worth buying for the cover.

I'm feeling a little bit sad today...so I'm making requests for humour, I know there happens to be some very funny people on the fourm, Cat being my #1 funster. So... any jokes, anecdotes, miscellaneous funny happenings... anything to lift me out of this funk of morbid lethargy...please

This just came over the wire:

THREE WOMEN -- ONE GERMAN, ONE JAPANESE AND A CALIFORNIAN - WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE GERMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE
BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. "THAT WAS MY PAGER,"
SHE SAID " I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM."

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE JAPANESE WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO
HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, "THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE
A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND."

THE CALIFORNIA WOMAN FELT DECIDEDLY LOW TECH. NOT TO BE OUTDONE, SHE DECIDED
SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM. SHE RETURNED WITH A LENGTH OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR. THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

THE CALIFORNIA WOMAN LOOKED SUPRISED AND SAID, "WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT. I'M GETTIN' A FAX."

Hey thanks hon - will keep an eye out for it (although I'm well behind already in my To Read list for 2006).

I'm currently on the melancholy end of a bottle of red, so I might go googling for images to perk myself up.
