I came across this photo today (on Neatorama) of an IBM350 memory storage unit being loaded onto a plane in 1956:

Here's another view. It was called the 350 because it used 350 discs to store - get ready - 5MB worth of data.

In comparison, here's a man holding two Samsung memory chips, created in 2009, which hold 32GB each. That's a total of 65,536 megabytes, or more than 13,000 times the storage capacity of the IBM350.

Do you think those guys on the plane had any idea what the future would hold?

Hipsters Throughout History: The Definitive List

George Sand was a woman writer with a man's name!

 And she banged Chopin!

Antonin Artaud once said "we are all just meatbags full of cum." 

Which is a VICE "do".

F. Scott Fitzgerald came from the Midwest and reinvented himself as 
a "cool" New Yorker.  Sound familiar?

nightmare fodder

YouTube user ceeceelemon, named after the soda C.C. Lemon, is a Japanese gentleman who enjoys wearing female masks with unblinking, unmoving eyes.
And for the pleasure of everyone else in the world, he uploads videos of himself doing this: ceeceelemon's channel. They are unnerving and provoke the uncanny valley response.

and just to stay within the theme...

Admittedly it's not quite as well executed, but there is a tiger mask.

abandoned men's club becomes one man's palace

The three-story Harmony Men's Club was built in 1909 in Alabama, boarded up in the 1960's, and purchased in 1999 by David Hurlbutt for $100,000. After he scraped off all the pigeon crap, he found this:

Thank you Urlesque

Nothing to Do with Arbroath has an article about an unexpectedly sexy calendar being sold to support an Irish no-kill shelter.
"She was completely comfortable with the shoot," a shelter spokesperson said of the model, pictured above. Apparently not everyone is.

Apparently, Tiger Mike is a bear to work for

Dateline: Houston, circa 1977. Edward ‘Tiger Mike’ Davis is the perpetually-angry CEO of the now-defunct Tiger Oil Company. I can just imagine the innocent office happenings that instigated diatribes like the one below.
Transcript follows, more memos at Letters of Note.

transcript:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 22, 1977
TO: All Employees of Tiger Oil Company and Tiger Drilling Company - Houston Office
FROM: Edward Mike Davis

What the employees of Tiger Oil International, Inc. do is none, of your business! You work for Tiger Oil Company or Tiger Drilling Company when it comes to employment procedures or anything else. Tiger Oil International is a separate company and wholly run as a separate company.

If you are not happy working here, I suggest you get a job somewhere else, but you cannot work for Tiger Oil International without my approval.

Any conversation of unhappiness or unrest among my employees pertaining to this will mean immediate termination.
(Signed)
EDWARD MIKE DAVIS

P.S. On days you have to work, and you think you should be off, you wear slouchy dress attire. That will not occur in the future. You will wear proper dress attire to work always. Also, all employees should have the proper attitude to coincide with proper dress, especially on those days when you're working and think you should be off.

mmm, you taste like latex

yeaahhhh... wow.
