It is dubbed Accidental Renaissance and sparked other examples.

Harriet Tubman saved more than 70 people. I was misinformed...on a TV documentary no less.

If you're afraid of heights, you're gonna have a bad time.

What kind of sadistic bastard would invent such a thing?

Remember the woman who faked being homeless?

Come to find out she did very well.
Reminds me of the real homeless guy who stood at the exit of a huge long term parking garage in NY City and offered to clean the filthy windshields. He reported made 100K a year.

The study by professors at the University of Toronto and Harvard Business School, analyzed thousands of flights on a large international airline over several years and found that not only were incidents in economy more likely if there was a first class cabin, and more so if economy passengers had to walk through it — but incidents were also more likely in first class itself.

I have a theory about how they built all those walls out of those really huge stones a long time ago. I think people were just a whole lot stronger back then.

If you're like the woman in red and don't think you need to wear a seat belt in the back seat, please consider the safety of those that choose to do so. Your body is a projectile.

Interesting Fact: She didn't move. It was the car that moved. She, unfortunately, stayed in one spot.

I've reach the stage in my life where I'm trading cases of beer for the equipment with which I used to paint murals. Life is good. And that's a true story.

Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game.


When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home


Candy cigarettes


Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Yukon 2-601). And party lines where you could eavedrop on your neighbor's conversation. My prefix was Victor.


Peashooters. And we ALL sucked the pea down our throats until we got the hang of it. And when we went screaming to our mothers they just looked at us and said, "I told you never to do that."
After the first time we never again told her we sucked the pea down our windpipe because we were afraid she would never buy us another one.

"What kind of sadistic bastard?"

MY kind of sadistic bastard! That observation deck is deviously monstrous, and my only wish is that the people had to push, hard, to make it roll out. How empowered and invulnerable, not to mention thrilled, would that make one feel afterward, even if only for a fleeting moment?
