I'm sure at least some of those had historical records they could base the color on. Like the monks always wore the orange togas, and black people were, for the most part, black.

You mean the 7th picture?
that's the hull of a boat

derp... i thought it was that famous thing that burst into flames

you mean the blimp crash which involved a zeppelin.

Hindenburg or something

I did it for my Grandma's wedding anniversary in photoshop. You have to manually mask around every different object in the image and use a similar photo as reference for the tinting. It took me around an hour and a half per photo.

if the same photo was taken twice with, say, a green lens and a red lens, you could interpolate colors out of the difference of the two. if you have only the one picture, there is no way to get color back into it, except manually with photoshop etc.

Thank you for the information.

Are there any colored pictures of the american moon landing?

There's this.

"Buzz Aldrin faces the camera as he walks on the Moon."

because that's the joke

shit... I didn't realise that

bummer

Shoop da whoop

I'd take a guess and say the completion of the Titanic.

That's what I though at first but this ship has 4 propellers and the Titanic had three, thanks though!

He was called "Thich Quang Duc" and he was protesting against the vietnam war.

He put himself on fire as a form of protest (I can't really remember why they were protesting)

Probably protesting against the expensive gas prices.

For more information about this:

He was a Vietnamese monk, who set himself on fire during the Vietnam war. He was in my 11th grade history book which is why I know, and he was my background picture on my iPhone which is why I remember.

Don't question me about this or I will sniff you.

Check out "Sokushinbutsu"

they're bad motherfuckers dude.

in certain orders, monks can meditate for weeks at a time.
i dont mean meditate, eat, sleep. i mean JUST FUCKING MEDITATE.
I met one of these orders on a trip out to SE asia, and these bad motherfuckers did not give a shit.
they could hone their chakras as I kicked them in the nuts and they gave ZERO fucks.

saw a guy have a metal piece of rebar pressed against his stomach, he just stood there giving ZERO fucks as it was pushed harder and harder, until it bent.

single greatest thing i have ever seen.

fucking nuts

They sound fucking amazing.

Wow, that was a cool story bro, no kiddin. What is the point of being a monk anyways?

self control, seclusion from the world of technology and temptation, and inner zen and whatnot

Ultimate ''self control''. It's a philosophy, just like any else. Passive Nihilism.

So if I were a monk, and somebody was robbing my house I wouldn't fight back?

Monks do not have physical possessions such as houses, they equally share everything

No. Why?

I have some expensive shit in my house.

I think you missunderstand. Passive Nihilism doesn't mean that you're passive in general. Just means that you're not an active nihilist. An active nihilist is like.. Nietzsches Übermensch. A passive Nihilist is like Buddha, I think.

What do you understand by "active nihilist"?

Here is where my knowledge MIGHT end. A leader sort. One who needs to create his absolute own values for everyone to follow. Making his reevaluation of values. Like Adolf Hitler.. Or Rorschach.

Not quite... Nietzsche's active nihilism consists in a rejection of the old values (religious, etc.) and thereby in rejecting the meaning which life is ordinarily given, in order to return the value of life to life itself and to create new values. Hitler didn't destroy the old values; he just blamed certain groups (Jews) for the world's problems. Besides, I don't think Nietzsche would be much of a fan of Hitler, but who knows...

I see.. I'm sorry, I might not be as well read in this subject as I thought I was.

Thank you for educating me!

Holy tits I just learned shit on the weekend

That's life.

desktop background I assume? If you find it post it.
