How The Polish Cow on the Run for Two Years Finally Got Caught

0

i.iplsc.com

For almost two years no one could catch the Polish cow named Matylda, and she might as well have been known as runaway cow..

Matylda ran away from her owner’s farm in Zloty Stok in 2013, as she yearned for more adventurous times.

She rampaged across the countryside and left a trail of destroyed crops in her wake, accumulating a few scars and losing a baby calf in the process.

Luckily for Matylda the winters were weak, because if they weren’t, she probably would not have survived.

She become a “master of survival.”

Matylda’s owner Leszek Zasada explained that he set an elaborate series of traps for the cow, but nearly all of them failed.

“We tried to chase her on horseback and also with dogs but it didn’t work.”

He also hired a vet to try and tranquilize the cow, but that only “enraged her further,” he said.

Other farmers became infuriated by Matylda, who had destroyed all of their crops.

And fearing he would never see his cow again and she may wind up dead, Leszek tried one last approach.

He decided to court Matylda by bringing her salt, apples and cabbage, and it worked!

See How Your City Ranks When It Comes To STDs

If there’s one statement that seems to be true about Americans, it’s that we love to have sex.

Based on the map below, we also love having unprotected sex. Rent Application put together this lovely little map for us showing how bad STDs are ranked by city. They used data that came directly from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2013. The data only shows reports of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia (herpes data was not collected). To normalize the data, it was measured in rates per 100,000 people. Only cities with significant populations were represented. Rural areas are not shown on the map.

Here are the top 10 cities with the highest STD rates:

Rank City Total STDs Total STDs per 100,000
1 Montgomery, AL 4371 1899.20
2 St Louis, MO 5942 1867.54
3. West Memphis, AR (Part of the Memphis Metro) 859 1717.29 
4. Philadelphia, PA 26151 1689.77 
5. Norfolk, VA [Norfolk Naval Base] 4013 1632.74
6. Baltimore, MD 10134 1630.98
7. Richmond, VA1 3248 1544.39
8. New Orleans, LA 5614 1520.37
9. Killeen, TX [Ft. Hood] 4887 1512.83
10. Fayetteville, NC [Ft. Bragg] 4826 1489.2

 

Clocking in at roughly 1,900 cases for every 100,000 people, Montgomery, Alabama is the unfortunate winner for the most STD cases. If you’re single or sexually active with multiple partners, you might be inclined to think that number is pretty low. Remember though, this chart takes into account the total population. Think about all those monogamous, under-age, and sexually inactive people living in the city that get grouped in regardless. Suddenly, the statistics seem a lot more risky.  So remember kids, if you’re going to tap it, make sure you wrap it and always get tested regularly.

See where your city ranks in STD rates:

The Agony and the Ecstasy of Being a Curly-haired Girl

0
0

Having curly hair is like a high school relationship. You laugh at the bliss of it all, and then later find yourself crying on the bathroom floor at midnight eating ice cream.

You can’t control it, it’s unpredictable, and yet you wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s your favorite characteristic about your physical appearance, and your biggest flaw. If you’re anything like me, you probably hate your hair, yet if you were given the option to trade it, you wouldn’t have to think twice. There’s no way you’d ever give it up. Your hair is part of your identity and for all the quirky, fun, tortuous memories you have together, you would never part with it (because, let’s be honest, parting curly hair can be disastrous).

 The Agony:

  • You straighten your curls so when you curl the straightened curls you can achieve perfect curl status.
  • Your yearly conditioner budget is equal to the GDP of a small country.
  • When you shower at a friend’s house and they only give you one towel.
  • Why is it that my glasses look so good on me when my hair is straight, but when it’s curly I revert back to my dorky, frizzy 7th grade self?

  • Remember when front bangs were all the rage in grammar school? Remember when swoopy bangs were all the rage in high school? *sigh*
  • Picture day in elementary school: the photographer would hand out mini combs so everybody could fix their hair, and all the straight-haired curls would fix their perfect, pin-straight hair, and then you’d comb your hair too (oops). Picture day was always rough.
  • You have to deal with the annoyance of having a product work perfectly on your hair one day and then destroy it the next.
  • Strangers touch your hair way more than is socially acceptable.

The Ecstasy:

  • If we’re being honest with ourselves, we know there’s been a period of time where we went a week without washing our hair. It’s naturally dry, so washing it everyday is bad for it, and sometimes, the more oil it accumulates the better it looks. Plus, if you’re going to spend hours straightening your curls only to curl them again, you might as well get a few days wear out of it.
  • You can get away with cutting your own hair. If you’re broke like me and you don’t feel like shelling out $40 every time the mop gets too long, you can just take a pair of kitchen scissors (or a hedge trimmer) and hack at it yourself. The curls are the perfect cover and nobody can tell just how uneven it really is.
  • You’re frequently told you look exotic. People ask you if you’re a Gypsy and strangers talk to you in foreign languages (how do you say, “sorry, I’m from New Jersey” in Farsi?).
  • Remember that day in high school you discovered product/flat irons/layers? Your life literally changed for the better. I still remember that day (November 14th).
  • “I woke up like this.” Yeah, those days are the best days.
  • You’ll be having a rough day and a stranger will tell you that you have incredible hair and they’re so jealous (right before asking you to cut off a lock so they can perform a Satanic ritual).
  • You’ve never had to deal with flat hair. Your hair has more volume than Encyclopedia Brittanica.
  • You feel like a goddess. At some point in life, you stop trying to tame it and embrace its natural beauty and uniqueness. Sure, it’ll never be pin straight, but it’s more fun and flirty this way (and going out dancing with curly hair makes you feel like Beyonce).

9 Of The Most Adventurous Dates for Couples of All Stages

0

17150235844_e559b270ce_k

Dating is exciting. You get the thrill of meeting somebody new, exchanging ideas, and learning all about them. Your heart quickens when their name pops up on your cell phone and you think about them all the time. But…sometimes dating isn’t all that fun too. Once you’ve reached a certain age, you’ve done it all, and even when you really click with the person, dinner and a movie just isn’t all that thrilling. So, we here at life daily, have devised a few ideas for you that aren’t all the same old song and dance.

You can try:

The same old song and dance: Ironically, the same old song and dance is not what it sounds like. Go out dancing with your date or take a class together. Our grandparents were onto something back in the day. There’s actually something rather alluring about learning the foxtrot with a partner. It comes across very innocent, but you have all the fun of close contact, flirting, and accomplishing a skill together. It will also give you something to laugh about when you both go the wrong direction (which will certainly happen).

Go for a hike: Hiking is great because it allows you to talk alone without the distraction of waiters and loud music, while also giving you the opportunity to walk in non-awkward silence if you run out of things to talk about. You can observe the beauty of nature and sweat together while discussing the intricacies of life (or at least what you enjoyed about last night’s Game of Thrones). However, if you met this person at a bar or on Tinder, don’t go to a secluded trail on your first date. Make sure you’ve vetted them first and are assured they aren’t going to turn the date into The Most Dangerous Game.

Meander through a street fair: Who wouldn’t love a ballon festival, pickle festival, or beer festival. Most festivals and street fairs have rides, bizarre food contests, and bad cartoonists (occasionally a good one is known to sneak in).  It will give you the opportunity to laugh and talk about all the oddities around you. You might even run into some interesting characters or see an entertaining magic show. Whatever you do, just make sure you don’t bring your date to the garlic festival.

Build a campfire: Again, if you’re going to be in the woods or your dates backyard, make sure you know them well enough to be sure your Tinder date isn’t going to turn your bones into tinder for his fire. That being said, on a chilly night, it’ll allow you to romantically snuggle under the stars, drink hot coco, and make s’mores. Just make sure you check that the place your having the fire allows them. You don’t want the cops crashing your date because the neighbors thought the house was burning down.

Be a tourist in your city: Whether you’ve been living in your hometown for one year or ten, there’s usually some fun, touristy activities you can do with your date. Explore a museum or take a tour of a local attraction. You don’t need to be from out of town, to act like you’re from our of town. You might even learn a thing or two about your area and your date. For example, if he’s surprised to hear George Washington was the first president, that might be pretty telling about the rest of the relationship.

Hit up a theme park: Did you know that near death experiences bring couples closer together. While I hope you aren’t having any near death experiences on your date (seriously, stop dating serial kills that worship The Most Dangerous Game), roller coasters are very good at simulating the terror of death. If gets adrenaline pumping and makes you feel invigorated, which in turn, bonds you with your partner.

Sneak into a pool: While trespassing probably isn’t the most romantic way to spend an evening, it’s fun and fairly easy (not that I’ve um, done it or anything). It’s thrilling to do something that might get you caught and if you do, most hotels or public gyms won’t really bat an eyelash (they’ll just kick you out). You don’t have to be James Bond to sneak in. Pretend to wander, act like you own the place, and simply walk in.

Watch the sunrise: It’s worth waking up early to see the beauty of the early morning. If you live by the beach, it’s even better. Grab a coffee with your date, go for a brisk morning walk, and watch as the sun comes up over the horizon. It’s beautifully peaceful (and symbolic in a 10th grade English class way) to watch the sun come up as you embark on a new relationship.

Take a painting class: If you or your date are artsy people, you’ll enjoy the creative outlet of taking a painting class together. Paint Nite is a popular class that teaches you step by step how to recreate your own version of a famous masterpiece. They also offer wine when you take the class, and nothing eases an artistically awkward first date quite like wine does.

Pee Resistant Paint: Whatever Next?!

0

lead_large

If you’re currently living in San Francisco and considering urinating in public, you might want to hold it.

In an attempt to clean up the city and spend less money, San Francisco is beginning to coat lower portions of their city walls with pee resistant paint. Yes, you read that correctly. Public urination is such a problem in popular San Francisco bar areas that the city spends $14 million annually steam-cleaning the streets, according to San Francisco news organization News 10. If that wasn’t enough to gross you out, they are trying to curb the problem with paint that will splash back at anybody that attempts public urination.

San Francisco borrowed this idea from Hamburg, Germany where they have these quaint little neon signs that illuminate where it will sprinkle if you happen to tinkle. The paint is designed to bounce back the splash in the direction it came from, so those relieving themselves will end up splashing themselves too. In San Francisco though, the signs simply say, “Hold it! This wall is not a public restroom. Please respect San Francisco and seek relief in an appropriate place,” which doesn’t convey the message that you will essentially be peeing on yourself. They probably thought the flashing neon sign was a little too crass, but we’re sure public urinators will catch on quickly.

Club Owner Kicks Band Off Stage During Live Broadcast, See What Happened Next

This club owner told this band who’s boss!

Matthew Roberts, the owner of the Convent Club in South Woodchester, England kicked Scottish musician Finley Quaye off stage during his live performance.

He says: I will not pollute this venue with bulls**t, and announces that the band did not show up for their practice, and the guitarist had his back turned to the audience nearly the whole time.

Matthew Roberts had no filter when he says this to the audience:

“And then they come, and they f**k my stage.”

And wrote this on his Facebook:

“It’s not a personal attack on the musician whom I’ve always held in high regard, and whose current lack of management of his talent I find incredibly frustrating. It’s more that my passion for live music, all that live music engenders, creates and inspires is so strong.”

Robert’s even admitted to suffering from alcoholism himself, in an effort to let the audience know that none is perfect, but in his opinion this music and performance could not be tolerated and is not up to par with the performances that are held at the Convent.

Robert’s and his wife are passionate about live music, and hope the Convent helps to keep it alive.

This male poodle was taught to walk on his hind legs while dressing as a schoolgirl!

His owners name is Zhu Tai, and him and the poodle both reside in Chengdu, in China’s Sichuan Province.

Training dogs is a hobby for Mr. Tai, and he has taught the poodle to walk on his hind legs the whole time when they go to the park!

Mr. Tai says:

“It only took me two months to train him, and despite the occasional critic he really enjoys himself, he can go about two kilometres on his back legs without needing to come down on all fours.”

Most people in China are used to the dog by now because they see him all the time dressed in his crazy and bizarre outfits.

And Mr. Tai prefers to dress him in girls hats and skirts even though he is a boy.

Tai says:

“I know that he is wearing a hat and a skirt but actually he is a male poodle, one-year-old, but we opted for the girls clothing because a skirt is more comfortable for the dog. And I just think it looks funnier.”

We think you have the right idea Mr. Tai- the funnier, the better.

13 Things Successful People Do to Maximize Their Time

0
0

credit: regretfreelife

We all could take a tip or two from successful people when it comes to time management.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, yet why is it that some people are more productive than us with their time?

Do they have some sort of magical productivity gene that we are lacking??

While this would really make us feel better if this was the case, it is just not so.

The truth is, about 95% of the things we do in our lives should be done either by someone else or by automation tools. Successful people focus on the five percent of things that only they can do, and they optimize their time so they spend most of it doing the things that they do better than anyone else in the world.

They know that if they try to do it all, they will not get their most important things done, and the things that they are best at that make them the most valuable.

13 Things Successful People Do to Maximize Their Time: 

1. They don’t waste decades of their life off course

Most people spend years of their life on an undesired path. They live following social and cultural norms, and eventually find themselves questioning their identity, and wondering why they are unhappy. The goal is to get on the right path in your 20’s and 30’s as opposed to later in life when you have wasted decades.

2. They correct their course quickly

Let’s take airplane pilots for example. Airplanes are off course about 90 percent of the time. Yet, they almost always arrive at their final destination on time. This is because they correct themselves so quickly, and getting back on course is easy. If they were so intense about their course corrections, they’d be late or never make it.

3. They remove garbage from their lives

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

- Leonardo De Vinci

Successful people make the most of their life by living minimally. They remove all the non-essential physical, mental, and emotional baggage that can be weighing them down. And they say NO to almost everything.

4. They focus on results rather than hard work

The majority of the population works 9-5 and they are compensated for the amount of time that they work. However, successful people focus on the few things that generate the most results for them. Everything else is either outsourced, automated or removed. And rather than getting paid for time, they are compensated for the value they produce.

5. They use automation tools

There are easier and quicker ways to do things nowadays, and successful people know that many tasks can be automated. There are certain 30-60 second tasks that we do everyday that are not necessary. There is an app called Zapier that makes automatons between multiple web services. For example, if someone buys something from you on PayPal, they are already put in a customer file.

6. They outsource tasks

“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”

– Peter Drucker

Outsourcing is an extremely important task when it comes to time management, and like automation tools, there are many outsourcing options. Fancy Hands is a team of over 3,000 virtual assistants who are available 24 hours a day, and the service starts at $25 per month. Fiverr is another outsourcing tool where you pay $5 to get tasks done like editing your blog posts.

7. They have an unbelievable morning routine

In the morning, successful people practice prayer and meditation and they exercise to get their blood flowing. They eat a healthy breakfast, focusing on proteins, and they listen or read to content that helps and inspires them. They write in a journal, and review their life goals and vision to get perspective on their day.  Their routine is completed by 8 a.m.

8. They get 7+ hours of sleep daily

And healthy sleep. Successful people keep their bedrooms cool at night, and they go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Most wake between 4:30-6:00 a.m.

9. They set short timelines

“How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?”

 - Peter Thiel

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion, according to Parkinson’s law. If you have a lot of time, you’ll be inefficient. If you have a little time, you’ll be extremely productive, because short timelines facilitate flow.

10. They skip steps most people take

Most people climb ladders vertically, but successful people switch ladders laterally. Take the U.S. Presidents for example. They spent less time in politics than the average Congressman. And the most popular Presidents spent the least amount of time in politics, such as Ronald Reagan who, before he was President was an actor, and Dwight Eisenhower who was in the military. They reached the top and skipped the “dues-paying” steps.

11. They create automated income streams

Successful people are not governed by the clock because they have created automated streams of income. There are several approaches to do this, but one would be creating online courses using tools like Infusionsoft and  Aweber. Or you can automate marketing using Facebook ads.

12. They have a small to-do list each day

This sounds like heaven doesn’t it? And he reality is, a smaller to-do list is more effective. There is only 1-5 things that really need to get done on a given day, and successful people have those things done before noon so they have the rest of the day to attend to urgent stuff, and anything else that pops up.

13. They check their email and social media at a few specific times each day

Most people wake up and immediately check their email and social media. Doing this puts them in a reactive mental state, and subconsciously, they’ve committed their day to other people’s agendas. However people who check their email and social media at specific times each day don’t obsess over messages, page views, likes, or other statistics.

Why is This Guy Wrestling a Hammerhead Shark?

Screenshot 2015-07-28 at 1

No, this is not a deleted scene from Sharknado 3.

The video was originally posted by YouTube user 1ArmStarfish who said he and his brother were simply enjoying a quiet day at the beach in Destin, FL when they noticed a shark struggling near the shoreline.
One of the brothers, realizing the sharks injuries, swam out to help the poor critter, while the other brother shouted, “dude, I’m going to grab the camera. We’re about to get so many hits on YouTube.” (Just kidding this isn’t what happened…but with over a million views in one week, it’s an educated guess that this thought may have ran through the single-armed echinoderm’s head).
The other brother then grabbed the shark by the tail and wrestled the 10-foot fish to shallow water. Along with a crowd of curious bystanders, they removed multiple fishing hooks from the sharks mouth, which were also tangled up with fishing line. (Meanwhile, the shark was all like, “yo, stop messing with my new piercings”).
The heroic display took less than a few minutes and one of those brothers now gets to tell every girl he meets in a bar, “hey babe, wanna see a video of me wrestling and saving a hammerhead with my bare hands?” Likewise, the other gets to brag, “yeah, well, I remembered to grab the camera.”

Watch all the macho, brotherly heroism below:

A Parent’s Worst Nightmare- Gorilla Cracks Exhibit Glass at Zoo

0

Your worst nightmare has officially come to life.

A little girl and her family were enjoying a day at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska making their rounds to see the animals.

They stopped by the gorilla exhibit, and observed a 375 pound silverback male gorilla named Kijito.

In an attempt to be playful with Kijito and the other gorillas, the little girl began beating her chest and imitating them.

Kijito in particular did not like this very much, as he probably felt the beating of the chest was threatening, and he came charging at the exhibit glass!

Take a look at the girl’s father Kevin Cave and his wife filming the incident below:

The looks on their faces are ones of terror!

Luckily for the family and everyone surrounding, the glass did not fully break and no one was hurt.

But it did give everyone quite a scare, and probably was a parents worst nightmare.

Kevin Cave told a source that shortly before this happened he had told his kids that the gorillas could not break the glass.

Kevin says:

“They will never believe us again.”

Watch the video of Kijito charging at the glass below:

A future tip from researcher Bridget Waller to all zoo visitors would be to be wary of your body language when it comes to these animals, because what we believe is friendly, might actually be threatening to them.

For example, eye contact and chest-beating establishes dominance among gorillas, and showing your pearly whites can be a little more tricky. If you smile without showing teeth, you could be displaying playful behavior, but during play, gorillas open their mouths and cover their teeth as if to say, “I could bite you but I’m not going to.”

These Incredible Works of Art Only Last Till The Tide Comes In

New York artist sculpts sand castles that will put your childhood to shame.

Remember the thrill of going to the beach as a child. You’d bring all your crafty supplies: buckets, shovels, twigs, and shells. You’d spend an eternity making that sand castle perfect whether you sculpted it up from the ground or dripped the sand into a succession of miniature towers. It was a work of art and you were proud of your creation. Well, Calvin Seibert is an artist and photographer that has certainly one-upped your sand castles of your youth.
Seibert, inspired by futuristic architecture designs, has created a series of photos showing incredible works of art. He states on his Flickr page that he doesn’t go into the design with a specific idea in mind. He simply let them grow and morph into the direction they want to go. Seibert said he builds as long as time allows it, which isn’t very long when time is constantly creeping forward in the form of crashing waves.

“Building ‘sandcastles’ is a bit of a test,” Seibert said.

“Once I begin building and forms take shape I can start to see where things are going and either follow that road or attempt to contradict it with something unexpected.”

World is Outraged After Cecil the Lion is Killed

On Tuesday, July 28th, The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force released a statement that said that Walter Palmer, a dentist from Eden Prairie, Minn., was responsible for killing Cecil the lion, one of Zimbabwe’s most beloved lions.

According to Zimbabwe authorities and the conservation task force,  Palmer paid between $50,000-$55,000 to track and kill the 13-year-old animal, and most popular attraction at the Hwange National Park. Palmer, who is a skilled archer, used that money to get a professional hunter, Theo Bronkhorst, to lure Cecil out of the national park at night to shoot him with a bow. Palmer shot the animal, however the shot only wounded him. They tracked Cecil, found him 40 hours later, and fatally shot him with a gun.

Palmer then skinned and beheaded the beloved animal, and attempted to destroy the GPS collar that Cecil was fitted with, which was used by the Oxford University research program.

Not only did Palmer’s illegal hunt, which is currently under criminal investigation, kill one of the country’s most beloved animals, but Cecil’s 24 cubs will now most likely be killed by another male lion who will insert his own bloodline into the females.

In the time following the release of information regarding Cecil’s death, Palmer has received backlash from animal lovers around the world. The backlash has even been so strong that his dental practice website has been shut down and office has been closed, as people have gathered to protest.

Even celebrities like Candice Swanepoel, Ricky Gervais, and Jimmy Kimmel have come out bashing Palmer’s actions.

20 Signs You’re Dating a Doofus

We’ve all been there. You’re going through some kind of crisis in your life, and you end up with a tool. It’s a weird place to be in, one where you said you’d never find yourself. Now, that you’re with this tool, you think you’re losing yourself. You even think you might be losing it and here’s why:

  1. He isn’t very sharp.
  2. He never wears a shirt.
  3. He never takes responsibility for anything.

    Image Credit: Giphy
    Image Credit: Giphy

  4. Anytime you try to have a serious conversation, he is uninterested.
  5. He’s uninterested in most the things you say, actually.
  6. He has issues standing up for himself.
  7. He also has issues standing up by himself.
  8. You need to be his support for everything.

    Image Credit: Giphy

  9. He doesn’t eat.
  10. He doesn’t drink.
  11. He’s anti-social
  12. He doesn’t have any friends of his own.
  13. If you leave him out in the rain for too long, he begins to rust.

  14. Your Mom has used him to turn over the soil in her garden.
  15. Your Dad needs him to remove weeds from the grass.
  16. Your co-workers are beginning to worry about you.
  17. Your best friend can’t understand why you brought a garden tool to her baby shower as your “date.”
  18. He’s a hoe.
  19. He is literally a garden hoe.
  20. This is all beginning to make sense to you. Why are you dragging a garden tool out to dinner with you and calling it your boyfriend?

Nature Valley Advert Reveals Shocking Truth

shocked

Nature Valley, known for producing the world’s messiest granola bar to eat in public, launched an ad recently where they asked three separate generations an easy question.

The interview was simple. “When you were a kid, what did you do for fun?” the video begins. The oldest generation, the grandparents, tell quaint stories about blueberry picking and fishing (awww).
“I found an old sign, which was big enough for me to sit on,” an elderly gentleman tells the camera. “It made a great toboggan. It was very slick; very fast.”  It conjures black-and-white images in our heads of a simpler time with simpler pleasures…

Then, the interviewer asked the same question to middle-aged people, seemingly those that would have young kids or teenagers at the moment. They too, give us warm fuzzies that lead us to clasp out hearts and have a twinkle in our eyes. They tell such precious stories of the neighborhood kids getting together and having good, clean fun by organizing a game of baseball, building a fort, or getting their tongue frozen to a pole (maybe not that last one).

And then we get to the kids’ generation. Those are the youngsters who are currently going through the trials and tribulations of pre-pubescent jolly-good times (though, if I remember correctly, they weren’t all that jolly). These kids tell the camera what they do for fun in their free time, and I’m sure you already know the answer. It’s troubling to hear, especially when it immediately follows their grandparents sepia-toned tales of frolicking with the neighborhood kids.

John Lennon takes a selfie at The Beatles’ Final Concert at Candlestick Park in August 29 1966.

Hard to believe right?

Who would have thought that anyone was taking selfies back then, especially John Lennon?!

We are way behind the selfie-game here people.

And the famous John Lennon, who was the guitarist and singer/songwriter for the Beatles is not the only Beatles member with a selfie!

Ringo Starr, the drummer for the Beatles published more than 100 photos of the Beatles that were never before seen and were taken in the sixties, and here is one of his selfies:

Paul Mccartney, the Beatle’s bassist also took a selfie in a mirror using a TLR camera with a lens reflex called Rolleiflex:

George Harrison who was the Beatles lead guitarist took his selfie in the Taj Mahal hotel in Bombay in 1966.

And here is John Lennon circa 1967, where a photographer named Leslie Bryce visited John at his home in Kenwood, and they took several photos including this selfie taken by Lennon himself.

The text that was published with the image reads:

“John borrowed our photographer ‘s camera and took this photo on opposite mirrors , creating a long line of Lennons that fade into the distance.”
