"The next day when we woke up we both felt very wierd, i dont think that ive came down all the way, although i do. But i dont think i'll ever totally come back to reality."

Just say no to Vicks44 and paint, kids...

Today is the day that Joey Ramone Place is being dedicated! Hey! Ho!


 
Today is the first anniversary of Endless Parade of Excellence! A whole year of trivial crap, and I don't think I ever posted anything twice! Thanks to you, the readers-your comments and praise (and weird-ass links, of course) keep it going.

Radioactive stuff, razor blades,and lightning! This looks like a fun experiment. Oh, and by the way, you have to climb up on your roof. In a lightning storm. Please be careful.

Electroplated lizards, the "Sweat of the Devil", pierced rabbits, the "Tiger of Chemistry",and more!

More fun than cracking open a smoke detector or licking a radium clock, it's the Health Physics Instrumentation Museum!


 
People keep asking me about analog computers. Here's an
Analog Computer Museum with some very cool stuff. Don't miss the Librascope! Is that pile of linkages a "before" or an "after" shot?

Even if I can't get my hands on some potassium dichromate, I plan to walk around saying "Mercury Beating Heart" all day. You wouldn't be needing that thermostat now, would you? Thanks.

Roger. Can you turn your wobulator
on now and leave it on?
Roger. It has been on, and I haven't touched it.
Roger. Understand.
Do you want it off?

"After the students attach a black plastic crucifix, they pray that the rosaries will never have to be used in or near combat."

Synchroballistic photos of skateboarders. Finally, a use for the kickflip!

Synchrohuh?


 
When I was a little kid, the wattmeter on the back of our house was a mystical object, second only perhaps, to our grandmother's cuckoo clock. Pretty soon these things are going to be all digital, if they aren't already. Nerdy kids will have to obsess about something else, I guess.

This is very cool. I love the aesthetics of the vinyl sampling and sequencing station.
Everything should look like that.
