That commercial cracks me up for some reason. The guy has something to do with it, but the spoof of the ultra-rich is funny, too.

^^^ undeniable proof that uniforms catch the ladies' attention
Congratulations. I have always wanted to serve, but long ago I was deemed medically "unfit." Sucks. Thank you for your commitment.

I was surprised to learn that color film existed in 1940...

I'm at jury duty today. The most boring, least productive day at the office tops this waiting room.

Wow, those are some great pictures. Thanks for sharing that site, Slim.

No, not at all. I didn't know when Wizard of Oz came out, either.
I only know because I use it as a baseline.
But I guess I do like it.
Jury duty over!!!
Not a big fan of the Wizard of Oz?
When I was a kid, I didn't understand that the reason The Wizard Of Oz went from black-and-white to color was symbolic. I thought that the Kansas scenes were originally filmed in color but had faded to black-and-white due to age, and I expected that on future viewings the color portion of the film would be shorter as the film continued to age...

Holy crap had I not come to this thread I would have forgotten about my jury duty next week 
I actually was selected as part of a jury panel a year and a half ago...shouldn't I be done for life!

Wow. Same here! I remember when I finally saw the movie in its entirety and then had the biggest AHA! moment of my life
On a side and completely unrelated note, I just noticed with the new upgrade our post count actually marks our posts with the corresponding number. Before the total number of posts would accompany each post, but now each post has its own number in your post count.
No I do not know why I or how I noticed this but it would have made +1 threads a lot different. Where's Slug when you need him, a true post whore would appreciate this!

Wow..first permanent color photograph taken in 1861! I would not have guessed that at all. The first was very imperfect, but things progressed rapidly. On the Wikipedia site you can see the first photo and then by the first part of the 20th centurym a Russian photographer took some pretty good pre-revolutionary pictures. You can see a few at the website, too.

Fascinating bits of history. Well to me anyway.

I was always told by my parents that it was because MGM couldn't afford enough color film but that is just urban legend.
Without fail I get it every time I am eligible, and when I move I get a notification within a year even if I had just served in another county and would be exempt for a few years. It got pretty ridiculous for a while and I stopped sending the cards back and stopped going. I just turned 36 and I think this was my 8th summons. My mom has never served.Holy crap had I not come to this thread I would have forgotten about my jury duty next week

I'll risk boring everyone. The Russian photographer mentioned in my previous post was Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky. You can see some of his pretty amazing photos at the bottom of this page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky
They were cleaned up in the digitizing process from the prints he was likely able to produce.
It was only with the advent of digital image processing that multiple images could be satisfactorily combined into one.[21] The Library of Congress undertook a project in 2000 to make digital scans of all the photographic material received from Prokudin-Gorsky's heirs and contracted with the photographer Walter Frankhauser to combine the monochrome negatives into colour images.[22] He created 122 color renderings using a method he called digichromatography and commented that each image took him around six to seven hours to align, clean and colour-correct.[23] In 2001, the Library of Congress produced an exhibition from these,

My three year old (today) niece just told me I'm not her friend and that she doesn't love me. I asked her who she loves, she said Justin Bieber.
This just isn't right.

I had a new computer built for my workplace. It's lightning fast compared to my old 1.99 GHZ emachine. I like it!

A good day
Got honored today for my five year anniversary of working with the same company:
Later on went to an autograph signing for LA Galaxy Forward/U.S/Port Chester's own Edson Buddle:
More than anything I was happy that he remembered my name after 10 years removed from high school
