5... 4... 3...

For those unfortunate souls stuck watching the clock at work Monday, I offer you this - the Year in Pictures, courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle.

I love the fact that the staff writers there take the AP captions and use them as a loose guide. Basically, they'll use the names, dates and places, but the rest can be pretty irreverent and entertaining.

I'll point you in the direction of April for pictures of a weightless Stephen Hawking. I'm not creative enough to make that up.
