Is it real? (pic)

[Broomjockey]

IS that a real picture, or is it photoshopped?

I think this picture is photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels, and having seen quite a few photoshops in my time.

Are those REAL marble countertops?

looks like Granite actually.

My oldest younger brother is a Revolutionary War re-enactor.*

He will be at an encampment and a touron will walk up, note their dinner cooking and ask things like:

"Is that food real?"

"Are you going to eat that?"

and the topper...

"Is that a real fire?"

These questions have been asked often.

*If you are interested this is the unit he is with:

He's one of the drummers in this picture.

Oh, ye gods, yes. SCA folk get very similar questions.

"Is that a real sword?" Do you mean 'real' as in 'made in the Middle Ages', or 'real' as in 'metal, sharp and I can hurt you with it'?

"Is that a real crown?" Yup, stole it from the Queen of England.

"Are you in a play?" Yeah, 'Death of a Salesman'.

And we have a demo tonight, for a bunch of grade school kids. I'm *so* looking forward to it . . .
