Its Thursday, glorious Thursday. I can see the weekend coming and it looks like a fine weekend to be sure. Just as fine as this collection of photos we have collected for you.
Nothing but Mess
The Mardi Gras party is over, and now the cleanup begins. This front loader helps to clear the debris from the streets in New Orleans.
Rebel Dance
This rebel balances to use his binoculars to monitor the skies over the town of Ras Lanuf.
Straw Bears
This looks like something out of Wizard of Oz, the straw man, but these men are dressed in straw bear costumes and wear chains to chase away winter in Heldra, Germany.
On Vixen

Lining Up
Refugees are waiting in the Choucha refugee camp for dinner. The refugees will be helped by the red cross and the United Arab Emirates as they both plan on creating camps on the border of Libya in anticipation of new arrivals.
Toppled
An earthquake destroyed over 1000 houses and buildings in China’s southwest near the border of Myanmar on Thursday. Twenty-four people were injured and over 200 killed during the incident.
Oops
During the Biathlon World Championship reception for journalists a cute idea turned into a political headache, when someone chose newspapers from the Nazi era as part of the design. They thought it would be a neat idea to have papers from different eras, but when someone didn’t or couldn’t read German they chose the wrong papers.
