The ingenuity of the animal kingdom is too amazing sometimes. Here's a bird with a nest that comes with its own umbrella.

This lady was in the 7-Up ad 63 years ago, and now here she is looking back. By the way, do they still make 7-Up anymore? How about Squirt or Almond Smash? Is America losing its preeminence in the global soda war?

I have a feeling that on a certain farm there is an art student or two in the farm family. These must be the prettiest silos in Farmville.

This is so nice, providing your bird with a nice autumn view! What a world!

How many of these phones do you recognize? I'm pretty sure we had one or two of those Nokias.

Remember when pistachio nuts were dyed red, so that your hands would turn red when you ate them? There was no reason to dye them any color at all, but maybe they chose that color because they come off the tree sort of magenta in color to begin with.

AOL might still be in business if they hadn't spent ten billion dollars sending floppy discs and CDs to every single citizen in the world in the early 90s.

At one time, the mumps had been eradicated in America. The only time you heard it mentioned was when comics dragged out the old "We were so poor growing up, we were only able to afford one mump!" gag. There was a time we took disease prevention so seriously that health officials would slap this sign on the door of a house where a mumpee lived, and no one came or went until the case was cleared up.  Now, thanks to the steadfast work of Jenny McCarthy and her cohorts who fight against the measles-mumps (MMR) vaccine, it's making a comeback and many people are at risk. Brilliant.
