This is for the real old timers.I went to his museum in West Orange N.J. in the early 60's and one of his actual former employees gave the tour!It's one thing I want to revisit. I actually heard Mary Had A Little Lamb.The 1st recording played back; with Edisons voice which led to the 1st phonograph.The museum is now run by the U.S.National Park System.

I only put this up for people that went to NYC to jar their memory.When they crossed the street, they stopped to let by, what they thought was some nut ready to hit them. 1st way to spot a tourist,and afterwards they probally saw something they thought wasn't possible on a bike!Because you threw their timing off.When in fact they have your walking pace timed for an opening between your legs if they could fit!My heroes! In my early 20's I road raced hoping for a career,found out I was average.In my late 20's I lived across the river in Bayonne took my bike over on the commuter ferry for a job interview for messenger.So before I went I fueled up (too much) to "show em' my stuff!" Never made it;Good thing because you need total focus and concentration.Besides playing & listining to music and riding like this. Nothing has given me this rush of adrenaline and dopamine.A silver medal in the olympics was won by a messenger,they mainly use track bikes with no brakes,hold on to cabs, cabbies don't mind. For that slingshot effect.And when I found out in the 80's they could make as much as $800.00 a wk. I hopped on the ferry.

this is very similar to a post of Babs, but i still think it's worth a look! In this clip she is dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly to Madonna's VOGUE. The footage is from COVER GIRL, YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH, YOU WERE NEVER LOVLIER, GILDA, THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD, and MISS SADIE THOMPSON. . .

A 1951 Civil Defense procedure film aimed at Cold War-era elementary school students in the 50's. The only thing they didn't tell us was the absolute truth..

Some of the best baseball bloopers don't occur at the major league level. Here's a good example: Vancouver's Rodney McCray, in a reckless attempt to catch a fly ball, literally runs through a wall during a Pacific Coast League game in Portland in 1991.

This 1972 VW commercial has a surprise in it. At the end you will see a Beetle being driven into the ocean. The text in the commercial says 'allthough the Beetle does definately float, it will not float indefinately'.
Nice to know ahead of time....

This is almost unbelievable. Patrick Stefan of the Dallas Stars fails to clinch a Stanley Cup playoff game with an empty-net goal that anyone's grandmother ought to be able to score. Worse, his gaffe turns into a tying goal for the Edmonton Oilers. (Dallas did eventually win the game in overtime, however.)
