The aviation nerd in me wants everyone to know that's actually a picture of a completely different plane. I'm pretty sure that's a Douglas C-47 Skytrain.

(Sorry I don't have a funny comment to add.)

If someone wasn't in the comments saying this, or "that asphalt isn't the right type for La Guardia", or "based on the sky in the background, this is actually somewhere in the southern hemisphere", then I'd be on the wrong website.

Next on the agenda: finding the Lindbergh Baby™

92 year old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr was discovered by Onion editors during a weekly staff meeting after secretaries noticed that Lindbergh had been employed by the Onion as an entertainment staff writer for the past four years.

The Lindbergh baby has been wandering around La Guardia for decades like Tom Hanks in The Terminal.

He was killed the same day he was kidnapped and his body was found about 2.5 months later. He was found 4.5 miles from his home partially buried in the woods.
