There are a number of similar pictures being circulated via e-mail showing absurd or provacative text superimposed on various items. One that I got recently was of a woman with a white shirt walking toward the camera carrying a paper bag in her right hand and her wallet in the other. The words superimposed on the shirt say "I don't need sex - My government ****s Me everyday". The e-mail subject is "a woman in touch with reality". |

Yes I think you're right. The number plate has a strange number (like 20yrs old) and is in an illegal position too. (We don't buy new plates every year) The background looks UK but four or five years ago (petrol prices) Probably illegal to use languge like that now in our PC society. The phone number looks viable. http://www.area-codes.org.uk/01444.shtml Glad to see you're back Duf, wondered where you were. I was hoping you hadn't died or anything, how would we know? How are you keeping? |

I dont think the price of the gas was faked on the sign though. Holy cow 9.59 for how much gas? |

That was a few years back, It's more like $8 now. There are places in Europe where it's even more expensive. http://www.drive-alive.co.uk/fuel_prices_europe.html The van 'M' registration is Aug 1994 to Jul 1995. The position of the number plate is probably OK. Occasionally I see the back end of a large van or truck, and wonder where the number plate has gone. Then I spot it, somewhere right up at the top. Even if it is illegal today, it probably wasn't when the van was new. The petrol prices are for around late 2005 to 2006. The phone number is for the Haywards Heath area (Sussex). Maybe a Photoshop expert could dissect the image (like they did with Obama's birth certificate) and tell us if the words are genuine? -- Ian |

Obama's birth certificate was provided to the media as a PDF file, composed of internal layers and objects some of which were suspicious in their construction and placement. Only those with PDF editing software could look at this internal construction and essentially take the document apart. But a few days after Obama's birth certificate was released, Obama called on the services of "Diverter Man" to divert the attention of the media to another story - that being the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. Both Bush and Obama have called on the services of Diverter Man from time to time over the past 10 years. |

I'm paying $7.75 US Gallon for diesel, gas is just over $8. The Euro is $1.346 today. |
