Behind the curve

I was going to recommend that you have a squiz at the I Found Some Of Your Life blog, but it has sadly been shut down. The premise of this blog was that the author had found someone's digital camera memory card in a taxi, containing 227 pictures, and was posting them - one a day, in chronologial order, with made-up commentary.
While not the most ethical thing to do, it was very funny; starting off with vacation pictures in Amtserdam, and moving on to an (American) football game and a booze-up in southern america somewhere, the blog author invented fictitious names and backstories for the people in the photos, poking fun at the cheesy grins, poses, and otherwhise slightly surreal situations portrayed.
Once the blog appeared on the all-consuming Slashdot, however, the actual people in the photos were bound to find out, so unfortunately the commentary and photos have been taken down (though they're still on the servers at time of posting).
