It was built where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated. Commissioned by his son Tsar Alexander III.

"Kill my father, it's okay, we'll build a church for him!"

I'd rather not be a part of such a stupid challenge.

...what?

But yet you took the time to post....

LOL! I don't think his son had anything to do with the assasination. The church was built in his memory.

...what?

Yeah I thought the same. I guess all forums have people like that.

Now I get it, the church was commissioned by the son, not the assassination ;-)

Maybe he's just very ironic. By writing this post he already has participated, if he did it with this with an humorous intention it's cool ;-)

Eating 5000 baked beans with a cocktail stick is a stupid challenge.

Collectively posting 5000 times just helps pass the time.

But thanks for the 1 post contribution.

Nice, I'll have to wait another 5 minutes until I can exchange the buffer and finally have lunch.

Speaking of league of legends. What are some good MMORPG's that don't require you to spend half your life playing. Want to find one I can play for a few hours a week and still have an interesting experience.

Am I the only one having this issue: Writing a sensitive email, checking the recipients multiple times, checking the mail multiple times, checking the recipients again. Sending the mail, doing something different, and then suddenly having the urge to check again a few minutes later just to make really sure?

Well if I wrote more frequent sensitive emails I would be that paranoid too! Worst thing to happen is to have the email end up in the wrong place. There's many stories, some true, of people sending the wrong email to the wrong person.

same here, I even check manually when my mail synchronization option is set to 'after receiving'. I don't trust it

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a good photo editing app that allows free rotation? All the ones I have downloaded only do 90 degrees and flip.

Never played that. This is quite amazing though in person!

What makes the Hermitage even more impressive is the building on the other side, the General Staff Building.

This is taken from within the Hermitage through a small open window, hence the off angle.

Very impressing. This area seems huge, I think I should start to think about visiting Saint Petersburg.

Still not as impressive as this: Architect Forgets Elevator for 47 Floor Skyscraper in Spain - SPIEGEL ONLINE ;-)

That is too funny. Sad, but funny. It would appear that there was a lot of rethinking on the project and that caused the mishaps. It happens. It's not the first time I've heard of issues like this unfortunately. The scary part is that sometimes these types of constant changes can have unforeseen dangers and personally I think I'll stay away from that building.

There's no such app for Windows Phone.
Take a look, it's an desktop app: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-rotate.html
Hope it's what you're looking for, then go to download section: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
I do use GIMP to edit my photos, but I've never used to rotate by other value than 90? + I'm not at home to check personally.

I was referring to on the phone. Sorry for the vagueness. I sometimes have a tendency to be a bit crooked and there's no easy way to fix that on the phone out of any of the editors I've seen.

Though some people hate Google, Picasa is actually a good photo editing software, has a great photo straightener. There's also Ifranview IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide that has some great plug-ins.
