    A police dog jumps through hoops of fire during a military parade to celebrate Peru's Independence Day in Lima, July 29, 2006.

    I wonder what role this dog performs in the police force. It doesnt look like an attack dog. I wonder also whether its hair is a helpful insulator or a fire hazard when its time to jump through flaming hoops.

    An egg deliveryman tries to salvage unbroken eggs after crashing his bicycle in Mumbai, 07 June 2006. A quarter of India's over one billion people live below the poverty line even though its economy, growing at nearly seven percent, is the world's fastest expanding major economy after China.

    This mess would be demoralizing even if it didn't represent a loss of income.I feel sympathy for this man because it will keep happening until he can afford a better way to move eggs.
