In Margate, New Jersey, they are celebrating the 139th birthday of local attraction Lucy The Elephant. It's pretty cool up in there; I saw it when I was a kid. Stop by and see her, because an elephant never forgets!
They only made one of these, in 1936. It's called an autogiro, a combo car and helicopter. The guy who invented it flew it to DC, landed on a street, folded up the rotors and drove it to the Smithsonian, where it resides yet today.
Potato Chips were invented when a chef got tired of people sending their fried potatoes back to the kitchen, demanding thinner and thinner slices. This took place in Saratoga Springs, New York, and the name of the chef was George Crum. He has a restaurant called Crum's House, and how cool would it be to eat at a place with a name like that?
Death Valley CA lives up to its name, because I would rather be gone for good than live in a place where it's 129°.
This is certainly the test of anyone's navigational skills...piloting a ship through the Corinth Canal in Greece.
Did you forget about Lucy already? Someone took this picture at just the right time in Nairobi, Kenya.
Continuing our series of pictures of leaders of nations around the world acting like everyday people, let's take an ice cream break with Armen Sarkissian of Armenia.
I had forgotten about these 90's doodads, but here's another Magic Eye picture for you. Put your eyes right up close and see the magic!
