Oh crumb, I forget who Chuck Wollery is…

Didn’t Chuckles do both the Dating Game and the Newlywed Game? I know he did Newlyweds and was responsible for many early divorces.

Re Blog: And I thought my feet looked ugly!

There are some technical inaccuracies in the story, STUFFED HELICOPTER CAT SPARKS OUTRAGE.

The story states that the artist attached a propeller to each paw and placed “a remote control engine” inside the cat’s stomach.

This is completely false. First of all, it implies that the cat’s body is the airframe. That is not the case. Simply do a Google image search for the term “quadrotor,” and you’ll see that this type of device has an X-shaped airframe, over which the artist merely stretched the cat’s skin.

Secondly, this type of aircraft does not use one central motor to drive its four propellers. Look closely and you’ll see that there are four small electric motors, one at each corner, with a propeller sitting directly on top of it.

What would be located in the general area of the cat’s stomach would be the battery pack, the receiving unit, and the microprocessor and circuit board which control how fast each propeller spins.

Chuck Wollery? Is he Chuck Woolery’s good twin?

Re the Hitler Election Poster. “SA” is “Sturmabteilungen,” the “Storm Uni.t” Better known as the Brown Shirts and stormtroopers. They were a wing of the Nazi party, set up by Ernst Roehm in 1921, and were a virtual army used by the Nazis to stage riots and intimidate their opposition. By 1934 they numbered about two million men, which made Roehm a serious rival to Hitler for leadership of the party (hence his purge, known as the Night of the Long Knives, in which Roehm and several thousand SA members were executed.) Afterward the SA was absorbed into the German army.
