I sense hogwash. You just know that 95% of the board, upon reading that, will dedicate their next six hours on finding the phantom couple.

Now if you'll exuse me, I have some very important matters to attend to that may or may not take about a half-a-dozen hours .

I'll save you all the trouble, I found it... but it's not pretty... appears to be some Edmontonians in Harlem... out the window too.... they have no shame!

Okay. In the bottom center of the harlem picture is a garbage can with a massive blue tarp on top. Click on the tarp 4 times and you will see a large woman in a pink top. Her legs are opaque and she has no feet. Is she a ghost? Or is there something wrong with my computer?

I bet the picture is taken and then assembled with interwoven still frames. So then one picture has her in it, then the next one she has moved so when they interlaced them she appears translucent.

It's definitely an assembled image. I'm surprised you noticed the women with the fading out pants, and didn't comment on the car next to her that is entirely missing it's front end.

This guy did one of the inauguration. You can pick out famous people, people sleeping, and some official looking guys on a roof.
