The time-travelling lawyer must have been reading Marvel Comics in the 80s. There was a whole series of stories in the Thing's book, Marvel Two In One, set in a secret government base called..wait for it...Project Pegasus.

He couldn't even make up his own name for the "project."   
Almost as lame as the Gettysburg photo having been published in Life magazine in the 1960s.

I wonder was he from company B, well he was a bugle boy!

I've heard the `60s had good drugs, guess this proves it.  I'll trust someone who says they're psychic or travel time, after they win multiple lottery jackpots.

Speaking of SCARY... HOLY CRAP!!



WINDERMERE, Fla. -- A large sinkhole edging dangerously close to a central Florida home has forced a family to move out.

Officials say the sinkhole opened up Thursday morning, just feet away from the sliding glass door at the rear of a home in Windermere, an Orlando suburb.

The newspaper reports the hole was about 50-feet deep behind a row of houses in the subdivision.

The family of six moved out of the house Thursday. Officials say nearby homeowners were notified that their homes could be in danger if the sinkhole expands.

New Jersey tanning mom inspires action figure



The overly tan New Jersey mom accused of taking her young daughter tanning has inspired an action figure.

The $29.95 "Tanorexic" mom doll is available from HeroBuilders.com, the custom doll retailer behind the Michaele Salahi action figure, Anthony Weiner doll and other attention-grabbing toys.

Patricia Krentcil, the real "tanning mom," pleaded not guilty to child endangerment charges last week. She was arrested late last month in Nutley, N.J., after police were called to her 5-year-old daughter's school.

Krentcil claims she took her daughter with her to the salon but that her daughter never entered a tanning booth.

"I tan, she doesn't tan," the 44-year-old Krentcil said. "I'm in the booth, she's in the room. That's all there is to it."

New Jersey state law prohibits children under the age of 14 from tanning booths. Children between the ages of 14 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

Police were alerted by school officials, who say Krentcil's daughter showed up for school with what appeared to be a sunburn, then told classmates she "went tanning with Mommy."

Rich Krentcil, the girl's father, told NBC the teacher misinterpreted his daughter.

"This whole big thing happened, and everyone got involved," he said. "It was 85 degrees outside, she got sunburned. That's it. That's all that happened."

The doll is hilarious.  The mom is obviously troubled.  If she's otherwise 'normal', she has a blindspot with the tanning.  I hope the kids are OK... I know I saw images of the daughter in question and she looked very fair skinned and NOT sunburned and happy.  Let's hope.
