I am always on the lookout for funny/interesting images, so you get a 
couple that amused me during the past few weeks. When I walk downstair 
on a weekend morning, I am usually greeted by something like this at the 
front door:

Last Saturday I was visiting a friend in the Belgian beach town of 
Koksijde and my eye caught this eye-catching ad:

I had earlier seen it on a billboard in Belgium, but now I could study 
it closer. It turns out to be an ad for a health insurance company that 
apparently gives women a discount on the health insurance premium if 
they breast-feed their babies (I wonder how they verify?). The slogan 
reads: "Of course you can earn money by exposing your breasts!"

As much as I hate some of the junk mail and TV commercials, I must admit 
that ad people are some of the most creative people around.
