V–J day in Times Square is a famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays an American sailor kissing a young woman in a white dress on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945. The photograph was originally published a week later in Life magazine among many photographs of celebrations around the country that were presented in a twelve-page section called Victory. A two-page spread faces three other kissing poses among celebrators in Washington, D.C., Kansas City, and Miami, Florida opposite Eisenstaedt’s, which is given a full page display. Kissing was a favorite pose encouraged by media photographers of service personnel during the war, but Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous event that occurred in Times Square as the announcement of the end of the war on Japan was made by President Truman at seven o’clock. Similar jubilation spread quickly—with the news.
The photograph is known under various titles, such as V–J day in Times Square and V-Day
People who live on volcanic islands are frequently living on a ticking timebomb. When that volcano blows its stack, you never know if you’re going to get a gentle, easily-avoidable stream of lava, or an apocalyptic explosion. With such explosive power on their doorstep, the natives of many of these islands figure that the volcano is home to a FIRE GOD, who can be kept safely dormant through proper care and feeding.
The volcano god’s favorite food? Virgins, of course.
Unfortunately, Â thanks to Tiger Woods, no virgin can be found to throw into the Icelandic volcano.
1. Eyjafjallajökull – named when the person writing about it fell asleep on their keyboard.
2.Q: What did the airplane say to the volcano?
A: Shut up, you ash-hole
3. Welcome to Iceland. We’re currently doing a bit of construction – please pardon the dust.
4. The European Union actually asked for cash, but their alphabet doesn’t include the letter C.
5. The German airline Lufthansa said it plans to resume some flights. Apparently there are so many Germans in France right now that the French government surrendered.
6. First, Iceland goes bankrupt. After that, it sets itself on fire. This has insurance scam written all over it.
7. An eruption in Katla (the volcano next to Eyjafjallajökull) will be a lot harder on everyone, except on those who have to pronounce it.
8. It was the last wish of the Icelandic economy that its ashes were spread all over Europe.
9. Q:What’s the difference between the Iceland Volcano and Cheryl Cole?
A: The Volcano is still blowing Ash.
10. There’s no volcano in Iceland. Chuck Norris is just having a barbecue.
11. “The volcanic ash from Iceland disrupted air travel all over Europe. Everything’s grounded. Commercial flights. Private jets. The only thing still flying — Toyotas.†( Jay Leno)
