Marlow, it's only 2,413 airline kms from Oslo, Norway, to SLO, CA.
I don't recommend Route 66 as a highway. It's a great song.
I'm listening to it now. As a song, it is iconic.
Is this ironic?

Most people don't know about the wormhole.

A version of the "iconic" song Route 66: Diana Krall & Natalie Cole - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=m3TbSSI3hy8
The road Route 66 has an iconic status in Norway and I think it deserves being a symbol of a time and a spirit now lost.

When it comes to worms I will take this from Harold Pinter (about Samuel Beckett):
"He's not f*#king us about, he's not leading us up any garden path, he's not slipping us a wink, he's not flogging us a remedy or a path or a revelation or a basinful of breadcrumbs, he's not selling us anything we don't want to buy — he doesn't give a bollock whether I buy or not — he hasn't got his hand over his heart. Well, I'll buy his goods, hook, line and sinker, because he leaves no stone unturned and no maggot lonely."

That's what I'm talkin' about. Iconic shot of the eponymous man with the icon of the '70s.
I SAID, WERNER...
Maybe if you turn that around you'll be even more silly.
All-time top ten rock-climbing shots.
On eight out of ten lists.

What gets me about that photo, beside poor little Kim, is the little girl and her brother on the right, Kim's cousins. The little girl is terrified, too, but she still has her little brother by the hand in tow.

While at school, Phuc met a young Vietnamese man. They decided to marry in 1992 and honeymoon in Moscow. On the flight back to Cuba, they defected during a fuel stop in Canada. She was free.
Phuc contacted Ut to share the news.
After four decades, Phuc, now a mother of two sons, can finally look at the picture of herself running naked and understand why it remains so powerful. It had saved her, tested her and ultimately freed her.

I was thinking about 1968. That year really sucked for a lot of reasons. Maybe that's why there are so many iconic photos from that year.
These women and kids were killed seconds after the photo was taken.

Very entertaining thread to click through.
LOL at Klimmer trying to hijack/troll the thread about 200 posts in with his aliens on the moon bullsh#t. As if the long thread he started wasn't enough. What a kook!
Where is Klimmer by the way? Haven't seen him post in ages. Keep an eye out for him if you would.... Here is what he looks like in case you run into him.
I'd say this photo is pretty iconic as well......

I thought there was a climbing photo thread but this came up.
Adding some new and old iconic climbing ones:
Tom Frost
John McDonald
Jimmy Chin
My votes (war ones are iconic, but not my favorite)
