The other day, I came across the A is for Atom videos. Here’s part 1 and here’s part 2. This made me think something. This would have made some confused kids. Both videos were created in the early 50’s. So, first they see the Duck and cover video, which tells them that all they have …

We Have The Winners!
Back a while ago, I mentioned a contest where you could win a Blackberry, complete with screen-reader. Since we didn’t right a post where we were bouncing off the walls screaming that we won, you can correctly guess we didn’t. But we found out who did. Congrats, you four lucky people you. Do any of …
Can You Hear The Kookaburra?
When you hear the song “Down Under” by Men at Work, when they get to the flute part, do you cry ripoff? Do you think it’s a total copying of the Kookaburra song created in 1934 and sung by a bunch of Girl Guides? I sure don’t. It didn’t even enter my head until I …
Carmen’s On YouTube!
I don’t know how many people remember Carmen apelgren, one of the ladies I was in class with when I got Trixie. Some of us can’t get her song out of our heads… Anyway, she emailed me to say she’d made it up on a TV show and it was now on Youtube! So, Here’s …
License To Ride The Bus?
A big round of applause for Bobby McHale. He must have studied that how to catch a bus film of years gone by as well as those helpful booklets and posters very well. He managed to get a certificate stating that he was qualified to catch a bus! The funniest part was he didnt’ even …

Wild Animals Aren’t Pets
The story of Donna Munson feeding bears falls under the ha ha ha ha ha you’re stupid files. but sadly, because her actions affected more than her, there is far less laughter. the sweet old lady considered all the passing animals to be her pets, her babies. So, because she liked watching them and didn’t …
Stop! Hey, What’s That Sound, You’re In Our Car So Quiet Down
Jen emailed me this, and it made me chuckle. But I do have to say the man telling this story had a lot more sympathy for the blind dope than I do. I’m sure by the end, you’ll understand why. I didn’t know this, but apparently in england there are certain cars on trains designated …

A Different Bonnie And Clyde
When I first saw the story of a blind dog being led by another dog, my bullshit detector started going off. But there seem to be half a zillion stories about the pair, complete with updates, so maybe there’s something to this. It appears a completely blind dog named clyde has found another dog who …
Slow And Steady Escapes the Circus
Ok, how does a 114-pound tortoise get away? It’s a tortoise! I mean, I know some tortoises can move fast, but this one obviously didn’t. In 6 days, it only made it 2 miles. They did catch him and he didn’t get pasted by any cars or anything, so that’s good. But…how did he manage …
