Mad props to Lyn for being the first to correctly identify the contents of the boxes at left: it’s a closeup of the nose of this guy. When I was designing the site, it was just filler to be replaced as soon as I thought of something better to put there, but I suppose I haven’t thought of anything better. (Actually, my initial plan was to use some of the photos from this amazing Library of Congress exhibit of color photos from Czarist Russia — if you haven’t looked at them yet, you should. Maybe they’ll pop up here in some form or another someday.)
But Lyn’s not the only winner! Part 2 of our little contest — best absurd incorrect answer — is still a hot and heavy race. Leave your answer in the comments of yesterday’s entry. Good luck!
