That is impressive!

I love stitching together photos, and this one is really well done.

It's a lot of fun to take in the details that were captured. There's so much to see....

Seconded!

Interesting!

Next to Aretha Franklin, there's a mysterious floating hat. No body. And a few rows behind her there's a strange small man wearing strings of leaves.

Funny the things you see...

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Scalia and Thomas look like they are dozing off.

Interesting to see Secret Service in subtle places, like along the Capitol building rotunda.

There's also a giant photo collage of the event that CNN was touting. It requires MS Photosynth, but you can view at different zoom levels from different angles. Essentially a 3D space built from 2D pics contributed by people at the time.

Cheney in a wheelchair ala Dr. Strangelove, just can't get over that.

Wow, Cheney and Bush look pretty surly back there behind Obama. It's amazing, though, to see so much detail captured.

Wow that is really cool. Nice to be able to get in so close and see such detail. The future is awesome.

Oh no! Has she finally achieved her own gravitational pull?

That's what I call a double-chin.

He makes me think of Big Lebowski. "The bums will always lose!"

Who's the dude in the big ol comfort chair right behind Obama and next to Cheney?

Whats up with the Supreme Court? Do they need to wear those damned black robes wherever they go? Have you ever seen a Supreme Court judge without a black robe on?

Seriously! It looks like Rick Warren's body is right in front of Aretha but the top part of his head is missing. All you can see is the goatee. And his top had is displaced like two feet to the side without a body attached. Very weird. And about five people to her left there is a man's head just floating there. Looks like they screwed up getting the photo to line up properly.

I never would have noticed that if you didn't say anything.

Wow, this is amazing!

You can see this all over the place if you look for it. Floating heads, half bodies, mysterious legs, etc. Though considering the overall scope of the merged photos, they did a pretty good job.

Is Clarence Thomas taking a nap?

Edit: And why's that guy in the back of the first section that the SCOTUS is in wearing a Packers cap?

I found him! Though it looks like he's put on a little bit of weight.

Hahaha I'm enjoying the blooper reel.

You guys are really good at spotting the cloaked Secret Service agents. I'm impressed.

Little too much time on your hands, or did you just happen to accidentally come across these bloopers?

That is freakishly awesome. Especially considering the anomalies are largely point-entities as opposed to large seams.

Isn't he the one in front of the microphone? Or is that the guy sitting behind him?

all I can say is WOW

I like that YoYo Ma is taking pictures with his iphone.

Is it possible that these are not 'bloopers' at all but rather hard evidence that there are 'others' amongst us?

I for one welcome our new phase shifting overlords.
