Popular Mental Mechanix

To satisfy the inner Gyro Gearloose in all of us, try the Museum of Retro Technology, a well documented and perfectly delightful site hosting pictures of wonderful late 19th and Early 20th Century technology, such as monocycles-of-war, aerial sonar systems for detecting enemy bombers, steam-powered Segways, gyroscopic railroads and an underwater cannon system designed for sinking Confederate ironclads. Those combination armored troop carrier/dirigibles you drew on your notebook in third grade have found their home!

Petronius, Thanks for the very enjoyable and educational time sinkhole. From there.. I found GizMag, almost as bad.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
