Disneyland's plans to change It's a Small World ires fans

March 5, 2008 8:30am

I really loved Small World. Its the most 60's experience you can have anywhere in the world! Its like a time machine, you hop on and your whisked back to the 60's. The original design was that the children of the world had came together and made the attraction with paper, poster paint, glitter etc, etc, to show that the children are different on the outside/culturally but the same inside and it was indeed a small world after all. Now how is Mickey, peter pan and all them gonna fit into that? Its not going to look of the period or "Arts and Crafts"...

Crows up here in the mountains seem enormous to me. I really liked this post it was interesting. I would love to see a Crow vending machine that exchanged peanuts for litter.

TED 2008: Samantha Power on American responses to mass atrocities and genocide

February 28, 2008 9:08pm

It seems like to me anywhere in the world where you find groups of people holding on to an outdated and barbaric notion of "Tribes" they wage genocide against eachother.Maybe this cycle of Genocide amougnst tribes must continue untill the wake up and join the 21st century! If people want so badly to kill each other off NO ONE can stop them. It can be halted but will start up again. Not having any work is no reason to commit mass murder. The USA can't clean up everybody messes, some people just have to stop using this cave man type logic and enlighten themselves a little bit!

Videos of TV station signoffs from times gone by

I remember these too. Even some of the cable stations used to sign off. I believe it was Colin Powell's son Michael Powell that lifted the limit on the length of the commercial. So the Infomercial was born. Those damn things run all night long now, no more sign off's.

The single is a sandwich, i.e. single patty hamburger, however it is featured on the double value menu, rally's version of the dollar menu.

So with this deal you get a value meal that comes with two single burgers, upgraded to 3 single burgers for free..

There is a Museum of sorts, in the outskirts of Detroit called "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum" Its stocked floor to ceiling (literally) with these clockwork automation things.
