Too bad that's bogus too.

Rather flat seas for a squall like that. :wink:

Yep. Not to mention, where are the huge cloud tops OVER the supercell thunderstorm depicted on the Photoshop Special.

j, don't worry about it. A friend of mine also sent me those pictures in an email today as well ...

Those photos apparently have been floating around for quite some time.

Snopes already has something on these photos.

Well, the fake Isabel/Tanker pic has popped up all over several fishing bulletin boards I read.

One poster on a NJ board stated "They even fooled the hotshots at WPVI TV channel 6 showed this photo on the 11 pm news on Friday night."

Amazing. I mean, it's such an OBVIOUS fake.

People seem really easily fooled by photo fakes now; look at how far that "last photo from Columbia" (which wasn't even a photo and if it was would have been taken from an altitude 10 times higher than a shuttle is capable of flying) got circulated.
