Off topic, but interesting to see wwII and now
The pictures show scenes from WWII. Troups, vehicles and ships, but if you move your mouse over them they show the same location today. Very interesting!
WHEN YOU LEFT CLICK ON EACH 1944 PICTURE.... HOLD IT, AND DRAG YOUR MOUSE GENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ON THE PHOTO AND IT WILL BECOME THE EXACT SAME LOCATION IN 2014 ... 70 YEARS LATER. DRAG IT BACK OVER (FROM RIGHT TO LEFT) AND YOU ARE IN 1944 AGAIN. http://interactive.guim.co.uk/embed/....html?ww2-dday I thought this worth sharing. Enjoy!

Re: Off topic, but interesting to see wwII and now
That is cool! I often wondered what some places look like today. I am a WW II history buff and read as much as I can get my hands on.

I think he is referring to the upper case letters you used for the instructions. Some internet-etiquette I suppose.
