But this is close enough for government work.

I wonder if they are always in that same L – R configuration; white, black, brown.

Is this intended to depict or dramatize any particular shooting?

Just because you asked….

I searched it, and it’s actually the cover art from that Italian paper we usually see in its entirely…

El Domenico del Courriere.

I managed to copy and paste the text….

Here’s the Google translation”

Attack in Paris. The car carrying Jacques Soustelle, Minister of Information, crosses the Place de l’Etoile and enters the Avenue Friedland. The red light stops it. Just then, the driver notices a young Algerian who, approaching the car, takes a revolver from his raincoat and points it at the Minister. Attention! he shouts. Soustelle cowers in the back of the car. The terrorist shoots. Then he runs away, protected by the machine gun fire of his companions. The driver jumps from the car, chases him and immobilizes him. In the meantime, the Algerian has killed a young man and wounded three people who had blocked his path. Soustelle has suffered minor abrasions to his face.

No idea whether it’s reporting or fiction.

Idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Soustelle

My late Mil (French nationality, but of Algerian heritage – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A9mieux_Decree – had to flee Algeria during that war.

Not fiction.

On the 19th March 1962 both my Parents in law had good news for each other: My FiL visiting my MiL at the hospital that that war had ended – and she that they had a son! My husband.

Here’s the translation (I haven’t found a picture in better quality, therefore only part of the text got translated):

Looks like we were trying at the same minute!

I don’t have to post the picture now… But I did get the whole translation. I had to struggle with it cos it only wants to do part.

I used the same image. Seems like several eBay sellers use the same one, which is against the rules and also inaccurate, if they’re selling different copies.

Here we have….
Marlon Brando, as yet without the cotton in his cheeks; a very young looking Al Pacino, and director Steven Spielberg…

on the set of…
The Godfather

OMG! Of course it should!

I have no idea why I typed what I did, when I was doing it from memory and I knew better!

In my defense, but there’s really no excuse, I had just had a stressful few hours and I was trying to take my mind off it.

I guess I succeeded in turning it off completely!

A genuine 24 carrot jackpot!

You can tell they’re real by biting one.

(Yeah yeah,… only 16 so far but you can see that there are more on the way.)

Yes.

These latest puzzles don’t actually hide or disguise the supposedly “hidden” object.

If you simply look at every clover, you’ll see that one has 4 leaves.

If you’d like me to tell you where it is, anyway….

just click here….
It’s next to the hind leg of the yellow pig in the top right corner… Between him and the pink pig that you can only partially see, behind and to the left of him.

And I agree with Steve… Not one of those pigs is multi-colored.😁

What I want to know is: Which little piggy had roast beef? And which little piggy had naan?

Well, my dad used to count toes by saying “one little, two little, three little Indians, four little, five little, six little Indians”, etc.

So maybe they all had naan.

The actor and director should be fairly easy (Given a post further up), but the film might be more of a challenge.

It is:
Gene Hackman and Francis Ford Coppola

Behind the Scenes of:
The Conversation (1974)

An incredible film, even though I usually don’t like thrillers, and hated one quick scene of gore.

Heart stopping tension, great intelligence, and unexpected twists.

Trump’s relatives here in Germany made sure to show him the door years ago if he’d ever made the mistake trying to visit them.
