Grundig Mini World 100 PE
Saturday, November 15, 2008
This is the finest pocket radio ever made. It is the Grundig 100 PE. It gets AM, FM stereo, and six shortwave bands. Here is a little gadget that achieves fantastic performance within a small package powered by two rechargeable AA batteries. Sure, it could use a fine-tuning control, but for what it is this [...]

OK, admit it - you don’t see something like this every day, do you? That’s why you come on-line, instead of wasting your time watching TV or doing your job, to see interesting stuff like this! Splendid. Well, since you asked, this ten-cent ticket was issued to allow entry to a faculty-student basketball game on [...]
X Ticket Stub 1980
Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Today is the 28th anniversary of my assassination. Fortunately, since I was raised by cats, I have more than one life to give for school and country.
