The smartass should be taken out and shot

Greetings!
Regarding the "Hong Kong" picture, I've always wondered why the wind seems to be blowing from the "left" on one person, from the "right" on another...While the third seems to be in a calm area?

I've seen water do some strange things when it encounters a fixed object... So I'm not drawing any conclusions here...

But are we sure that the photo is undoctored? Just wondering...

I agree with Hal on this one it does seem strange that the Soldier standing nearest the camera has a kilt blowing in the opposite direction that the bare assed Soldier

I think its strange too.....Or maybe it's a Vortex..A dust Devil ogr somthing ........Stange..Very...Strange

Wind next to a building is not wind in a farm field. Proof : wear your kilt on windy day go stand about two feet from a large building it will swing in just about every direction changing about every second. Working in Chicago has made me learn which streets I can "safely" walk on. There are a couple of buildings that my kilt goes reaching for the stars every time you walk by them. Doesn't seem to matter how calm or windy it is either. If the wind is blowing from the south and you are standing on the north side when the wind whips aroud the building where they meet there will be a conflict of direction. That's why when are walking you can be getting hit in the back, but by the time you get to the other side it is blowing in your face.

Shot? I don't think so. Looks innocent enough to me. Everybody is smiling and sitting the same. If everyone else had there legs together but not him or if he were visably lifting the front edge then it may have been spiteful. I think otherwise.

The Hong Kong piccie is NOT a fake...I remember when it first appeared in newspapers back in 1997...I happened to "meet up" with a corporal in the Black Watch on line and he verified everything.

Cheers,
