Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Sunday posted two new photos to her Facebook page, offering the first official look at the congresswoman from Arizona since she was shot in the head in January.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is known for setting random personal challenges for himself and successfully completing them. Last year, for example, he pledged to master Mandarine Chinese.
