#2 Obviously a fake - overexposed spots on a photo of fine-grained schist (rock).

#11 Do you have a flag?

No flag, no country!

#12 I had an uncle who was a Martian scientist and helped start NASA. He had a collection of photos just like this one which he kept in the attic.

#13 "I had an uncle who was a Martian scientist"

#15 I had an uncle who helped liberate Mars. Or maybe was it a great-uncle. Or maybe one of the other planets. Or Europe. And stop pestering me about details, 'cause it's all about Hope. Uh, Hope and Change.
