"Baby it's Cold Outside...." So ya think you have it bad.... this is a Woman/Mother in West Virginia, 1937 going outside in her front yard.. in freezing weather...with pick... and digging/chopping just to gather coal to heat her home.. Makes me glad we have central heat and air.


Tokyo is the largest and the most populated city on earth: the latest estimates indicate that more than 37 million people live there.


"Magnetic tape was first developed in the 1930s in Germany, and after the war the technology was taken to America by Jack Mullin and developed commercially by Ampex with investment from Bing Crosby. The first commercial tape recorder (the Ampex Model 200) was released in 1948."

I thought catching crabs in public restrooms was a myth....


A pink sand beach Maui, Hawaii.




Imagine a pinecone as heavy as a bowling ball and the size of a chihuahua. Believe it or not, such pinecones exist—and they belong to the coulter pine (Pinus coulteri), a conifer that can be found in parts of North America including California and Mexico. Infamous among loggers and foresters, this tree is nicknamed "the widowmaker" because of the unlucky individuals who met their fate as a result of its falling pinecones. This species produces the largest pinecones on the planet, weighing up to 11 lbs (5 kg)!

On a ship during WWII, two officers were trying to pull rank to cut in line for ice cream when someone barked at them to wait their turn. They turned to see who had dared to rebuke them and saw Admiral Halsey waiting in line with the rest of the sailors.


Talk about a crossover- Voyager, Battlestar Galactica, and Dr. Who.
