Did you see last week’s photos of the election returns? If you're not a political junkie, maybe you clicked on the new pictures of Britney Spears instead. Or how about the latest Hubble Telescope photos? These are just a few of the thousands of images that appeared on AOL this week. But before these pictures were live for the world to see, each started as a request from a programmer to one of our photo editors. Great care and attention goes into choosing the best photo to illustrate whatever we're writing about - from the war in Iraq, to music reviews, to fun activities to do when you're visiting Millsboro, Delaware.
Sometimes, however, the subject at hand doesn't easily lend itself to visual representation. How does one go about building a photo gallery of creatures that don't exist? It's a challenge. And sometimes the articles themselves are offbeat or creative to say the least, making us rack our brains and stretch our imaginations. So here, for your enjoyment, are some of the wackier photo requests that have come across our desks recently:
* A sexy squirrel
* A photo of Lindsay Lohan looking constipated
* A color vintage photo of an African American couple in bed and getting ready to make
love from anytime in the 1800's.
* A Gallery of mythological characters that never existed
* A gallery of detached retinas
* A sexy woman eating a turkey leg
* A flatulent cow
Now let us know what you think. Have you ever seen a photo on the service that made you scratch your head or just laugh out loud? Chances are that one of us was laughing along with you.

So do you ever get guidance as to what a "sexy squirrel" would look like? BTW, good job on the cow photo. It hints at flatulence without the green cloud floating behind it. And I can't speak for everyone, I hope you talked them out of the "detached retinas" gallery.
