The over-75s typically pay seven times more for ski holiday insurance than 30 yr olds.
The Romans minted coins in the temple of the goddess Juno Monota 'Mint and Money' comes from her name. Donkey handlers in the 19th century seaside resorts faced fines of five shillings for allowing overweight punters a ride. Source: Daily Mail Money section.

Leonard Nimoy
In reading the eulogies for Leonard Nimoy over in the RIP thread, it jogged my memory that both Nimoy and Shatner were guest stars on the old TV series "The Man From UNCLE"...in the same episode. I must say it was rather fun watching them interact, knowing what the future held for them both.

Jodrell Bank Observatory or research centre has a giant radio telescope dish which I found out is classed as a Grade 1-listed building. This means anything given that designation cannot be knocked down or built on, BUT the surface needs replacing after nearly 70 years(this year is Jodrell Bank's 70th anniversary) so that is what will happen.

Odd isn't it. Women can have boob jobs yet you very rarely hear of men doing the same to their 'members'. Men's bodies are obviously different and certain parts of the anatomy can 'grow' like hair(moustaches, beards etc) and of course the most obvious, the penis. Women however don't have anything that expands or deflates(unless you count the nipple) to that extent, and have more hair than men, at least on their heads, yet in this day and age, with women changing their body shapes to almost ludicrous proportions, I think the old quote stands truer than ever "Vanity...thy name is WOMAN!"

An Outrageous Plan That Didn't Happen...at the time.
The Wired Nation
In his book, The Shadow Presidents, author Michael Medved relates the extreme disappointment of H.R. Haldeman over his failure to implement his plan to link up all of the homes in America by coaxial cable. In Haldeman's words, "There would be two-way communication. Through computer, you could use your television set to order up whatever you wanted. The morning paper, entertainment sevices, shopping sevices, coverage of sporting events and public events...Just as Eisenhower linked up America's cities by highways so that you could get there, the Nixon legacy would have linked them by cable communications so you wouldn't have to go there." One could almost see the dreamy eyes of Nixon and Haldeman as they sat around discussing a plan that would eliminate the need for newspapers, seemingly oblivious to the Big Brother aspects. Fortunately, the Watergate scandal intervened, and Nixon was forced to resign before "the Wired Nation" could be hooked up. --David Wallechinski, The Book of Lists #2 (1979) So much of Al Gore "inventing" the internet. This idea was being touted probably in the early 70's. ARPANet was still rudimentary, internet protocols were just being devised and the PC was still 5 years from being invented. Haldeman had it spot on; two-way (or more) communications, news, sports, entertainment, shopping all available in the home. And Wallechinski was spot on about the Big Brother aspects.

Either way it was a pipe dream by Haldeman to suggest that this was even possible. Keep in mind in the 1940's American children were taught in school that when they were adults that there would be rocket cars. We are 2015 and I am still waiting on Buick to inform me that my next car will fly. Just because something seems possible at the time does not mean it was and the reality was that without a computer there really was no means for cable to be anything one directional? Quote:

Example Protocol: 1. Determine goal. 2. Gather support. 3. Retain funding. 4. Hire Implementation Team. 5. Then a miracle happens. 6. Project complete. In Gore's case step 5 actually existed. As per Big Brother I had no issue with the concept until 2006 when I realized that the computing and algorithmic processing power now existed to actually sort through 500,000,000 emails a day. I always knew that the US could capture and store the data but there was no way to assess them. Times have changed! |
