Dmitry Podolsky has got his PhD from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics. He currently works as postdoc at Case Western Reserve University. He is also one of the editors of NEQNET.

and where are they located? (take a careful look at the lower part of the photo.)

Saturdays photoguess: what are they doing?

The full answer is: they took a tour at the Sultan Hassan Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. The date was June 4, 2009. The mosque is one of the largest in the world (it was built in 1256).

    It looks almost just like the pretty Persian rug that Cumrun Vafa game me so I guess that they’re just going to vow their obedience to the great Ahmadinejad, on behalf of all the PC people.

    Hillary (is it her?) is also giving an example to the Muslim women that in order to attract the potential Muslim husbands, they should be pale and fat – i.e. spend a month before the wedding eating in the basement.

    What is Clinton doing at the picture below?

    And what is she doing with Obama here?

    Unifying, not dividing. And the unification reveals a striking similarity to the Big Brother or Sister. ;-)

      Yes, persian carpet is the key (but you can find plenty of those in any Muslim country, not just Persia – Iran). The question is why they don’t wear shoes?

      Cheers,
      Dmitry.

      P.S. Your links made my day :-)

    Oh, I see, they also have some trouble with physics, so they have laced their shoes together and they had to walk barefoot.

    Nilfer: indeed, but the picture – or any other picture – does NOT show that they’re also respectful for the ethnic groups that they should actually represent.

    If it wasn’t for Lubos, I would never had guessed she is Hillary. I never thought that without a make up and proper clothes she would look so old and fat.

    Dmitri, If I could, I would take care to took better from other angles than just the front angle…
