Friday stuff

I just bought about 12 years worth of old gun magazines on Ebay, I think I'm set for bathroom reading material for a while. The best things about reading something from 1959 are the old advertisements, reading about something that is obsolete now but was cutting edge back then and the articles and letters from old timers who were around in the 19th century.

.

I often wonder about things such as when something was first invented. Back 20 years ago you could barely get that kind of information in a public library.

Here are some examples:

First Web Site http://info.cern.ch/ 1990

First personal computer: Simon 1950

.

First Automobile: Three-wheeled fardier à vapeur in 1769 invented by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot

First Electric guitar Rickenbacher Frying pan

Pretty fascinating.

Here are some funnies or maybe not ...
