Egyptian police stand guard during demostration by members of the Muslim Brotherhood in front of Al-Fath Mosque in Cairo May 31, 2010, to protest the Israeli navy operation against aid ships bound for Gaza. Israeli marines stormed a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza on Monday and at least nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed, triggering a diplomatic crisis and an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council.

    Really engaging photo. I like that they look like ball bearings with faces. Ribbit.

      I thought they were a bowl of fish eyes, myself.

      I have to wonder how effective they'll really be in a riot, bunched up like that.

        They look like metal bowling pins as well.

          Looks like a spilt magazine of hybrid human head-bullets.  Maybe the homunculus theory wasn't ALL wrong.
