A closer shot would have sealed the deal tightly.

Bathe yourself in gold-dust then i'll believe you're filthy rich.

If three legs are better than two, they why not put the camera on a buffalo or maybe even a centipede

This is stupid. Every photographer knows that a blurred image is the result of shaky hands, not the stability of your legs. A tripod exists so that any human movement like breathing and shaking are "out of the picture". DOES IT SELL?: NO.

Right, 'cause the rest of us can go to the Himalayas and hang with Tibetan monks and take cool photos and stuff.

This where not published, at least I've never seen it on any magazine or newspaper here in Chile.
Sad to copy just and not publish it.

Good idea, but I think it would be better to stabilize hands rather than legs. Need to be reworked.
