Ordering from Transcience

I was recently contacted by someone with a concern about an order they have made with Transcience Corp. Unfortunately, I am not affiliated with Transcience in any way, I’m merely a fan of their products just same as you, my dear readers, are. I have no way to help you with your order, so if [...]

Work Experiment ends

I started the experiment at work back in January and it has outlasted all the others, but finally came to an end today. I found the only surviving sea-monkey dead when I got to work today. I will begin a new experiment in a few day. I will post when I do.

Domestic Dispute ends in tragedy

Summer has hit and I am very busy, have little time to blog these days. Time for an update of what has been going on lately. The tank at work has had a tragedy… it seems that there has been fatal domestic dispute between Esmeralda and one of the males in the tank... The rest of this post is lost! :( from what I can remember... I had a tank that was down to two Sea-Monkeys, a male and a female and I they got into a fight and the male lost... big time.

I got my Doctorate!

My diploma has arrived from the Crustacean College of Sea-Monkey Knowledge. I am now officially a Doctor of Denizens of the Deep (Dd.D), a bonafied Sea-Monkey Scientist and certified U.F.O’S. (Unknown Forms Of Sealife) Investigator.

Work Tank Update

It’s been a while since I last updated, we just got back from vacation. The work tank is still doing about as well as it always has. Here are a few pictures of it on my desk. One of the males is mating with the female again today and I spotted a baby swimming around...

Home & work tank update

Home tank: The other male has met his end. I found him dead last night. The younglings have all disappeared as well. There are four females including Bertha left in the tank. Work tank: All three adults are still doing well. The small hatchlings are nowhere to be seen. No pictures this time…

Comic Ad Relook: The Case of the Missing Fruit Pie

Recently the hostess ad Hulk vs. The Roller Disco Devils was featured here and I noticed something odd, so I went to investigate. The Hulk looks like he is supposed to be holding something there in his hand in the last panel… it was obviously meant to be a fruit pie. Everyone who eats in these ads only uses their thumb and first three fingers, allowing thir pinkie to dangle freely. Check out the Hulk's hand it looks like he has an invisible fruit pie in it! Also when people eat their cheek bulges out like they have a chaw of tobacco in there... Lo and behold the Hulk's cheek is all bulged out, too. If he isn't eating a fruit pie, why draw him like he is?

Seems like he really was originally drawn eating that pie, but there was some rule that said while the super-heroes could be used to endorse the products they couldn't actually be shown consuming them... o.O Yeah, I don't get it either... anyway someone hastily erased the pie out of Hulks hand and figured no one would notice... Check out the picture below, I cut and pasted a pie into his hand and it fits perfectly!

Comic Ads: AAU Shuperstar takes on the Dirty Hippie Sneaker

Here we have a unique oddity from the late 1970's, a comic ad from the Intermark Shoe Company for their AAU brand of sneakers. This ad had me mesmerized as a child and seemed to be everywhere. In fact it only appeared on the back covers of DC comics dated November 1978 and features AAU's hero-spokesmodel, the AAU Shuperstar, battling... well... pretty much just a scroungy looking hippie known as The Dirty Sneaker. See, back in the late 70′s a unique superhero appeared on the back covers of comic books... the AAU Shuperstar, a pun-spouting “shoe”-perhero (get it?), all decked out in a garish blue tracksuit and armed with a good solid kick, he defended the world from vile footwear-related villains.
