Actually, I was serious.''I have used this for years to win fun bets about photos at the wire. It rarely misses.
As for this photo particular, yes, I was kidding.
I mean, it just sin't THAT accurate.
But, the next time you are watching a duel to the wire in slow motion, look at the shadow. It really DOES pick the winner. Not by an eyelash, LOL.
PS: The Durante photo is the winner in this thread. By a ____. You can fill in the blank.
