“Cutlass Class” – Classic logo from old Oldsmobile

I just love the logo on this late 80’s / early 90’s faux wood paneled Cutlass Cruiser station wagon.

It’s also good to remember that not that long ago an American automobile could have a logo containing other countries flags (including France) and not fear being lambasted in the Congress, Senate or Fox News as being a traitor.

“Here Ya Go Mitch; They’re At Loblaws” – If you ever wondered where someone would get a red banana

 

The late, great comedian Mitch Hedberg had a joke about red bananas. After hearing that joke I assumed they didn’t exist. Imagine my surprise when I turned the corner in the produce section and was greeted with this site.

I couldn’t find a video clip but it’s included as #42 on a list of some of his best jokes at the following link:

“Take Me to Your Leader” – Professor and world’s 1st cyborg Steve Mann in his Toronto lab

Steve Mann is an incredibly brilliant and engaging speaker on matters of human-computer/robot interaction.

He has written THE book on cyborgs (literally) and considers himself to be one. He wears an optical transmitter-receiver (eye-piece) and mini-computer/recorder (fanny-pack) at all times, and is constantly gathering and transmitting audio and visual information as he goes about his daily life.

His lab on Dundas West across from the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is also installed with numerous video cameras that are constantly live- streaming to the Internet.
