Sock Cross Contamination

I have this habit where if I take my socks off, I make note of which foot the sock was worn. If I have to put the socks back on, they go on the same foot as before.

Chewbacca with wife Mallatobuck, father Attichitcuk and his son Lumpawarrum.

I’ve never seen the Star Wars Holiday Special. Probably a good thing…

Strategic Checkout

Whenever I have an item in my cart that I deem embarrasing, in this case anti-itch cream, I make it a point to choose the line where the checkout clerk is least likely to silently judge my purchases.

(And to clarify, the cream is for a bug bite.)

Hidden Motors Give Life to Prehistoric Monsters - Popular Mechanics, June 1933 (via)


Saber-toothed tigers, giant ground sloths, and dinosaurs, inhabitants of the earth millions of years ago, have been reproduced mechanically by the New York firm of Messmore and Damon for exhibition this summer at the Chicago World’s Fair. Within a huge hemisphere of metal, they will give visitors a glimpse of the world as it was long before man appeared. (P.S.M., June ‘32, p. 16.) Controlled electrically, the mechanical monsters swing their heads, roll their eyes, breathe, snarl, roar, and grunt in realistic fashion. A complicated mass of cogs, wheels, bellows, and silent motors produces the life-like sounds and motions. Beneath the canvas and papier-mache hide of each animal there are from one to sixteen electric motors. An operator controls the actions of the exhibits. At the World’s Fair, they will be seen in an environment of prehistoric vegetation.

Do they still do world’s fairs? I would like to go.
