100. Oh, I see ... but why the 89 responses?

So thank you (I was distracted yesterday). But of all the massive issues to be discussed—the ever-spreading pandemic, the economic crisis, the hacking of government agencies, climate change, the Georgia elections, the incoming president and his cabinet, and various world affairs—why such massive interest in this insignificant topic?

So we have a president who is currently either too deranged from his loss to pose for a new photo, or too fat from hate-eating junk food to fit in his tuxedo anymore, and so they hijacked a photo from a year and a half ago to use in the Christmas card. Is this important? Or even interesting? I am totally bewildered. I'm thinking we need to triage our topics here; and it's time to stop talking about Trump.

JFK was 6'-0", the top of his head is almost even with that recessed molding next to the lower steps George II Dec 2020 #50

No. Angle has bigger effect on JFK, since it is wide angle lens and low and he is closer. Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2020 #61

Wrong. People not analyzing carefully. Compare level of heads on 2nd stair to wall embossing. Same. Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2020 #58

I don't know... I agree the photos aren't identical. But they are Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2020 #67
