# most of every source pic that b3ta uses can be found at b3takit.co.uk
for more obscure stuff, try using a reverse image lookup service like tineye

# Here's a question...
Where did the actual original source pic come from? Who is this guy? What hotel in which city is that?
seriously I would like to know!

# This is a good question
We know that Freebase is Jeremy E. Jones, but who is Smuggemy E. Smugs?

# ok this is the best i can come up with:
this is the most authentic source version i can find with fixed chair leg, full width and watermark. it appears to be a Getty stock photo but I can't find it on the site. i'm sure it'll be there somewhere.
