The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Heya - this was a game I've seen in another online community several years ago and it was really popular back then.

Rules are simple: Look at the picture in the last post, then go to google (or any other search engine) and find a picture that is able to beat the last one in the topic.
A little explanation about how it beats the picture should be included as well - however if you feel like writing a novel about it, go ahead I guess. :D

This game has no goal or anything like it because there is no such thing as the picture that can't be beaten. It just goes on and on as long as people are interested in playing it.

I'm kicking things off with the following picture:



And now let the madness ensue. :D

I'd love this game but I really can't be bothered to open photobucket everytime I need to upload a picture  :bang
Inactive, probably forever.

You don't have to do that, you can just grab the link that already exists. I also didn't bother to upload that picture somewhere else, no need to make it complicated.^^

The universe has a beginning, but no end. —Infinite.
The stars too have beginnings, but their power accompanies their decline.  —Finite.
It the wise who are the most foolish. History has taught us as much.
The fish of the sea know not the world of the land. Were they to possess wisdom, they too would experience decline.
It is more absurd that humans should surpass the speed of light than it is that fish should start living on the land.

Just get some buckets of water from this place, after all it wouldn't dry up very fast.

Welcome to the desert planet Tattoine. Where there is no water available.

Even if you CAN use fire on the box, your pesky fire can't hurt Iron Man who's in the box!

Oops, my bad!

Alright then, I can just smelt that molten iron into ingots and sell them!

The price for iron drops so much that it's pretty much worthless

I buy up all the iron mines in the world for next-to-nothing and deny the market iron resources until the price skyrockets! Now I control the world's supply of iron, muahahaha!

A new material gets designed that surpasses metal in all positive characteristics and is super light, making iron absolutely useless.

I turn my back on the financial world and resign myself to a secluded life in the forest with my "new material" indestructible pan flute.

A bunch of native inhabitants who have never seen a pan flute think you're an evil being from another world and start to hunt you

I play a whimsical tune on my pan flute while running for my life. Enchanted by my godlike performance, they make me chief:
