Found these sorting through my old photos. One ridiculous pose quickly turned into a nice set.

I got so bored I started taking pictures of other people's children.

Somewhere in Japan, there is 30 minutes of footage shot of me at age nine months by some Japanese tourists in the same group my family was in while touring some old house.

What was Rowan Atkinson doeing at Stonehenge?

If English Heritage is anywhere near as vile as their site design, they're... well, they're pretty vile.

Half the images on their servers are credited to the Getty Photo Library.

As you can see from the photo, he was 'ballin out of control'.

Tip of the iceberg.

Rowan's as real as the streets:

The trick is to go when you're young. At age 11 and all of 5'2" the stones seem much higher. Going when you're a girl could work too. Nice pictures, but how come the grass looks slightly different from picture to picture? How can we be sure they were all taken on the same day?

It doesn't to me, but it was a windy day.

How can we be sure they were all taken on the same day?

Well, the shadows are in the same place in all 3, so either we orchestrated it on different days or the pictures were taken all at the same time (which is more likely?).

I could also send you the originals; then you could look at the EXIF data.

I was going to argue this point and ask whether by "windy day" you meant you and your crew had been digging into the baked beans, but it's not worth it. If you did indeed falsify these pictures for some nefarious purposes then you're not going to admit it, are you? You're going to change the data to fit your story and you're going to stick to your story because there's no practical way to disprove it. So I yield this time, you communist. You win not because I believe you are right but because it is impossible to prove you wrong with the data I have.

Occam's razor, dude.

It's worse, guaranteed. No rococo finishings.
