Who knows
A Blast from the Past, Advertising Edition (Part 3)
Another commercial – and a truly classic one. It’s one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen, and might be my pick for best ever all-time. Enjoy – and make sure you watch the commercial’s end (the elevator scene) very closely. (smile) Have a great weekend, all.

Some people don’t like commercials. I can’t say I care that much for most recent ones; I find most recent commercials boring or stupid. But a few I’ve seen over the years are classics.

It was pretty ubiquitous on radio that year, and was a #1 hit in many nations worldwide – including both the US and UK. It received periodic airplay for years afterwards; that periodic airplay continues today. However, […]
There could be more than 30 alien civilizations in the Milky Way
By: Bill Watterson By Chris Ciaccia If extraterrestrial civilizations exist, we may not have to go too far to find them. A new study from researchers at the U.K.’s University of Nottingham suggests there are 36 planets in the Milky Way galaxy, a calculation the experts have dubbed “the Astrobiological Copernican Limit.” “The classic method […]
