Adams's Family "Thing T. Thing's" provenance
It was never made clear exactly what Thing was, whether some sort of actual creature or a somehow reanimated hand from some human person. Thing was Gomez's friend since childhood, it was based on a New Yorker cartoon that depicted a shocked mailman reacting to a sign posted on the Addams mansion which warned "Beware of the Thing". While developing the series, Charles Addams was asked what, exactly, was the "thing"? He opined that "thing" was a disembodied head that rolled through the house on various ramps and pulleys. It was decided that a hand would be a bit more palatable. This was to prove a source of some terrible puns.
There is an Unusual neurological disorder called Alien Hand Syndrome in which the sufferer's hand seems to take a mind of its own, They feel that they have no control over the movements of the 'alien' hand, but that, instead, the hand has the capability of acting autonomously independently of the sufferer's will. The hand effectively has 'a will of its own.' Alien hands can perform complex acts such as undoing buttons, removing clothing, and manipulating tools. Sometimes the sufferer will not be aware of what the alien hand is doing until it is brought to his or her attention, or until the hand does something that draws their attention to its behavior.
Sufferers of alien hand will often personify the rogue limb, for example believing it to be "possessed" by some intelligent or alien spirit or an entity that they may name or identify. There is a clear distinction between the behaviors of the two hands in which the affected hand is viewed as "wayward" and sometimes "disobedient" and generally out of the realm of their own voluntary control, while the unaffected hand is under normal volitional control ( In Psychology Volition or Will is the cognitive process by which an individual decides on and commits to a particular course of action.). At times, particularly in patients who have sustained damage to the Corpus Callosum ( that which connects the two Cerebral Hemispheres), the hands appear to be acting in opposition to each other. For example, one patient was observed putting a cigarette into her mouth with her intact, 'controlled' hand (her right, dominant hand), following which her alien, non-dominant, left hand came up to grasp the cigarette, pull the cigarette out of her mouth, and toss it away before it could be lit by the controlled, dominant, right hand. The patient then surmised that "I guess 'he' doesn't want me to smoke that cigarette." This type of problem has been termed "intermanual conflict" or "diagonistic Ideomotor Apraxia"
It is theorized that alien hand syndrome results when disconnection occurs between different parts of the brain that are engaged in different aspects of the control of bodily movement. As a result, different regions of the brain are able to command bodily movements, but cannot generate a conscious feeling of self-control over these movements. As a result, the "sense of agency" (It is the pre-reflective awareness or implicit sense that it is me who is presently executing bodily movements or thinking thoughts) that is normally associated with voluntary movement is impaired or lost. There is thus a dissociation between the process associated with the actual execution of the physical movements of the limb and the process that produces an internal sense of voluntary control over the movements, with this latter process thus normally creating the internal conscious sensation that the movements are being internally initiated, controlled and produced by an active self.

Firecracking Frogs With The Bush Family
May the fifteen of 1895, the world watched in horror as one of the msot machiavelic minds in history wear born. Wall Street executive banker, and a United States Senator representing Connecticut from 1952 until January 1963, Presscot Sheldon Bush, son of Samuel Presscot Bush and Flora Sheldon Bush.
Samuel Bush was a railroad executive, then a steel company president, and, during World War I, also a federal government official in charge of coordination and assistance to major weapons contractors. Samuel send his son Prescott to Yale in 1913 where he was admitted into the "skulls and bones" secret society (he was also president of the Yale Glee Club). After his graduation Prescott Bush served as a field artillery captain with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I, where he received intelligence training at Verdun, France, and was briefly assigned to a staff of French officers. Alternating between intelligence and artillery.

I'm having a fucking tea party, what does it look like I'm doing?
We all are HUGE fans of the series, and we all miss it, anxiously crying for the movie release that each day passed it slips another day further. We became fanatics in santayana's sense, we are redoubling our efforts to keep the plus-de jouir after loosing the finality (enjoying it!) of the series. This a list of fan sites which purpose is preserving the jouissance provoked by the incommensurable quantity of jokes and puns you find in the series. Such a quantity of fan-powered site its only another proof of our need to obey the injuction to enjoy these "deliciously witty" jokes.

Johny Quest's Enemies Were Goverment Funded?
We all remember Johny Quest being persecuted by his enemies on sophisticated garbage can-looking "verti-pods" which we all (even at a tender age) saw as idiotic fiction.
I mean please a one man flying machine for transporting soldiers, technology that would make rich the madmen who had ivented them, so why he didn't sell them instead in the global market get rich and marry a super model huh? senseless imagination is it? It seems that during the 50s and 60s the U.S. Goverment spent considerable resources and time developing these powerful Scouting and observational advantages! Looking to obtain unprecedented freedom of movement for infantryman in the battlefield.
It was the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) who started the resaerch on such technology. After some encouraging results in the laboratory using compressed air, several companies went on to build experimental vehicles. This brief fad of military aviation gave rise to a number of unique contraptions, including such unlikely inventions as backpack helicopters, hovering platforms, and flying jeeps (yes when they say all terrain, they DO mean All Terrain).
Engineer Charles H. Zimmerman, was the man who determined that a helicopter-style vehicle would be significantly more stable if the rotors were mounted on the bottom rather than on top. He also suggested that a human’s innate “kinesthetic control,” would help to keep such a machine upright.
Among the first flying platforms was the HZ-1 Aerocycle from De Lackner. It used a forty horsepower outboard motor to turn two counter-rotating helicopter blades. The two opposing rotors cancelled one another’s torque, allowing the mounted platform to maintain orientation rather than spinning. Directional control was achieved by leaning in the desired direction of travel, with a maximum velocity of 65-70mph more than enough to crack your skull open. A similar prototype was the VZ-1 Pawnee developed by Hiller Aviation, using two 44 horsepower engines, the platform was lifted by two counter-rotating five-foot-wide rotors in a round enclosure, a configuration known as a ducted fan.
The VZ-8 took the all terrain concept to a whole new level, the air. It was built around two ducted fans driven by a pair of 180 horsepower engines. Both power plants were connected to a single central gearbox so that both rotors would continue to turn even if one engine failed. Piasecki designed the airgeep Controls very much like conventional helicopter controls. Although the Airgeep was intended to operate within a few feet of the ground it was also capable of flying at altitudes of several thousand feet. The Airgeep was a very stable weapons platform and could hover or fly around most any obstacle. A larger, more powerful version called the Airgeep II was developed in 1962, and it proved even more capable. Further evaluation of the concept, however, led the Army to conclude that the design lacked the ruggedness and flexibility of conventional helicopters, and that its maintenance demands were too high. The Airgeep was abandoned in the early 1960s.
Later Williams Research Corporation’s WASP (Williams Aerial Survey Platform), later named the X-Jet, was the result of fifteen years of development. With the pilot standing on the fuel tank and a 600-pound turbofan engine mounted in front of him. Performance of the WASP was impressive, with a speed of 60 mph and a service ceiling of 10,000 feet. Maximum flight time was just over 30 minutes. The craft was listed in Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft as late as the 1985 edition but once again the army, which had financed its development, lost interest.
By the 1970s the US military largely abandoned such flights of fancy. Although a one- or two-man light aircraft was an intriguing concept, all of the vehicles shared common weaknesses in regards to maintenance, noise level, vulnerability, and the lack of practical applications. There were also very valid concerns about the stability of the small aircraft in windy conditions. Examples of these unique military aircraft can currently be found at aviation museums all over the country.

Antonov Kt-40 Damn Col. Hannibal Smith!
A prototype was built and tested in 1942, but was found to be unworkable. This vehicle is sometimes called the A-40T or KT.
The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka ("tank wings") was a Soviet attempt during world war II to allow a tank to glide into a battlefield after being towed aloft by a Petlyakov Pe-8 or Tupolev TB-3. A T-60 light tank bearing large wood and fabric biplane wings and twin tail. Bombers would tow the tank to its destination and then release it as a nasty surprise for German troops. Supposedly elevating the gun for elevator control and rotating the turret for roll control maneuvered the KT-40. It had a crew of two, a tank commander and a driver/pilot. The tank was lightened for air use by removing armament, ammunition, headlights and leaving a very limited amount of fuel. Even with the modifications, the TB-3 bomber had to ditch the glider during its only flight on September 2, 1942 to avoid crashing, due to the T-60's extreme drag (although the tank reportedly glided smoothly). Piloted by the famous Soviet experimental glider pilot Sergei Anokhin. The T-60 landed on a field near the airdrome, and after dropping the glider wings and tail, the driver returned it to its base. Due to the lack of sufficiently-powerful aircraft to tow it at the required 160 km/h, the project was abandoned. But despite the technical success of the test, the flying tank was not to go into production. The Soviets lacked a plane up to the task of towing the heavy KT-40. Also the T-60 tank wasn’t much of a tank. In order to lighten the tank sufficiently and get it off the ground, it was allowed very little armour, and had to be stripped of most of its armament and fuel. Such a poorly equipped tank wouldn’t have survived long against most German tanks.
The Soviet Union continued to develop methods to efficiently deploy airborne vehicles. By the mid-1970s they were able to para-drop BMD-1 fighting vehicles with crew members aboard

The Anatomy of the Kraken
"THE KRAKEN RUM is strong, rich, black and smooth."
Proximo Spirits (Centenario Tequila, Tequila 1800) launched a Black Spiced Rum "Named for a sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken."
The Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a well-crafted spirit. Sippable in a way that many moderately priced rums aren't, it is rich and full of flavor, like drinking a good coffee cocktail. The finish is long and refreshing. This is not simply a rum-and-coke throwaway. As usual, the first impression Kraken makes is while it’s still in the bottle. A custom, replica of a semi-squat Victorian Rum bottle featuring two distinctive “earlobe” handles, it boasts an old-style label with a large Architeuthis dragging a tiny galleon to the depth. Spirits are about the whole experience, bottle to baƱo, floor to hang over, so the bottle and label of the rum matters, and Kraken wins bigtime At this point I really need to applaud Kraken for their excellent choice of mascot. The kraken motif is a fine way of capturing the ocean-dwelling spirit of rum. A drink as strong and dark as kraken ink. And, yeah, at 94 proof and laden with flavor, perhaps it is. The Kraken is a truly monstrous hit with chocolate and molasses, cut with Christmas spices (cinnamon and allspice), cloves and maybe even some ginger. Vanilla is big on the finish. The effect is quite impressive, and any spiced rum fan will get a big kick out of The Kraken. Again, at 94 proof ( 47 % Alcohol), it needs a bit of water if you're sipping it straight.
"The Kraken™ is imported black rum from the Caribbean and blended with over 11 secret spices. The rum takes its name from the mythical sea beast which is said to have wreaked havoc with tall ships and rum running vessels throughout history."
