Israel caught recycling old photos as "evidence"

No doubt you've heard the Israelis whine about how the people on board those ships were armed, so the IDF stormtroopers had to kill a few of them to show them who's boss, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a wicked Nazi antisemite. There's just a tiny problem, though -- the photos that the Israelis claim prove their case are several years old (h/t pogge):

Date and Time (Modified): 2010:06:02 10:37:58
YCbCr Positioning: Co-sited
Exposure Program: Aperture-priority AE
Date and Time (Original): 2006:02:07 04:49:57
Date and Time (Digitized): 2006:02:07 04:49:57

There's a bunch more like that one as well. Don't tell the Canadian government, though; they won't believe you anyway.

Spectacular high altitude photos taken with homemade balloon

Amazing:

Robert Harrison used his ingenuity and a collection of cheap parts worth just £500 to take the spectacular shots using a Canon camera which he launched 35km above the planet's surface.

The 38-year-old father-of-three has launched 12 High Altitude Balloons since his hobby started in October 2008.
