The one at the very top:

I don't get it.

Also, why is the first picture of the Tower of Pisa funny?

I really don't remember that many engines on a B-52. I guess that's funny. The Zeppelin with the engines MIGHT be slightly funny, unless they try and land it in Lakehurst, N.J...

I really don't remember the tower of Pisa blasting off lately..

I was wondering the very same thing.

roadside billboard.

Edit. I'm a moron.
The tower, right. It's been straightened. I think. Hard to tell.

Aardvark has a bit of a reading problem, it would seem.

1. Is the B-52 the "one at the very top"?

2. Is the Pisa blasting off "the first picture" of the Tower?

The answers to both of those question is "no". Jesus, this place is becoming lousy with mistakes lately.

You really don't think the wings are on backwards for the first airplane?

No, I don't. You can see the ailerons on the trailing edges.

"You" as in, "everyone except blind Sysops who have no experience with Maya."

No, the airplanes wings are not on backwards in the first photo. The 'try our pope' slogan is the funny thing on the signboard.

Jesus, this board is becoming lousy with anal-retentive posters lately.

In the airplane photo, they Photoshopped out the four turboprop engines. You can see the exhaust stains on the top of the wings where the engines should be. Why this is funny, I don't know. It's also not a B-52....I think it's the same model plane that we use as spy planes (you know, like the one that the Chinese fighter rammed, landed in China, and the Chinese took it apart before giving it back to us).

The other planes are B-52s. I'm no expert on 'em, but I do know that the plane originally had 8 engines (4 pods with 2 engines each). They may have reduced that to 4 engines over the years as jet technology improved (the B-52 first flew in the early 1950s).

As for the tower, the top level has been straightened, while the rest are leaning. Again, why this is funny, I don't know.

Better yet (and this isn't a Photoshop). You're on a flight to Atlanta... kicking back in your coach seat assignment reading the back of the barf-bag. You hear a thud, feel a shudder and when you look out the window you see this:

Actually it was an Airtran flight. Side-effect of discount flying.
