Spotted these machines last weekend lined up in a small village on the border of Luxembourg & Germany.

The town it was on at is really cool. It was occupied by the Nazis during the war and with buildings like these you can see why eh?

The courtyards provide a natural echo so you can almost imagine the sound of their boots marching through or the sound of bullets being fired because they lined the locals up along the walls to shoot them. There's a very strange feeling looking at the bullet holes everywhere and I wanted to get a decent photo to capture it but the camera phone wasn't great so I gave up after a few failed attempts...........what I did get was a photo of smiley building for Justin's VZi collection instead.....complete with bullet holes :D

I thought this was hilarious. I thought it was a regular car park in the town centre.......

This was a dedicated dog shitting car park so not only could you park your car here but your dog can crap his heart out if he wants to :D

I saw this when I was stuck in traffic on the way home - lego pacman!
