Just because I am tired of the hot topics, and honestly, I think everyone else is too. So today, let\u2019s take a break and see what is sitting in the email inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmmm, where should I go to first. Interesting things in history? Science news that isn\u2019t the hot topic and maybe should be?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gadget(ChatGPT) says I should go for history. So, yuk a hey. Just some bull shit off the cuff history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Funny Things That Happened in the 1970s<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Sandwiched between 1960s idealism<\/a> and 1980s excess, the \u201970s were a time when serious concerns about the economy, environment, politics, and shifting social values coexisted with an unabashed pursuit of fun and self-expression. That mix is what makes the era so endlessly fascinating \u2014 and, at times, uniquely amusing. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Streaking Sensation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a few surreal years in the 1970s, America was in the throes of what TIME<\/em> magazine called an \u201cepidermis epidemic<\/a>.\u201d Though public nudity wasn\u2019t new \u2014 the ancient Greeks famously competed nude in the Olympics, for goodness\u2019 sake \u2014 streaking, or running naked through a public place, became a bona fide trend early in the decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerald Ford Falling Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for politicians \u2014 including, and maybe especially, presidents \u2014 to be the subject of endless jokes. That certainly proved true for Gerald Ford, who became president of the United States in 1974 following Richard Nixon\u2019s resignation. As a former University of Michigan football star, Ford was actually quite athletic, but a series of stumbles during his presidency led to a lasting clumsy image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trucker Talk Takes Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Long before social media, people across the U.S. chatted with each other on CB radios. Citizens band radios had been around since the 1940s and were used by niche hobbyists throughout the 1960s. But during the 1970s, they became a full-blown cultural phenomenon, in part due to the 1973 oil crisis. Gas prices soared, and with nationwide fuel shortages, the U.S. government imposed a speed limit of 55 miles per hour in 1974. Truck drivers formed CB communities<\/a>, sharing gas station prices and availability, organizing protests, and warning each other about police speed traps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elvis and Nixon Team Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was one of the most unexpected meetings the White House has seen: On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley walked into the Oval Office to meet with President Richard Nixon. The King of Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll had arrived at the White House unannounced earlier that morning to deliver a handwritten six-page<\/a> letter; in it, he outlined his concerns about the country\u2019s drug culture and offered to \u201cbe of any service that I can to help the country out.\u201d By midday, Presley \u2014 in a purple velvet suit, an oversize-collared shirt, and a massive embellished belt buckle \u2014 was sitting across from the president. Together, they chatted about America\u2019s drug problems, communism, and the Beatles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farrah Fawcett Hair Mania<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Few hairstyles have reached the cultural saturation of Farrah Fawcett\u2019s signature feathered locks. When Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/em> debuted in the fall of 1976, Fawcett was not yet a household name; though she\u2019d appeared in other TV shows and films, she was still mostly known from shampoo commercials<\/a>. It seems fitting, then, that shortly after Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/em> hit the air, Fawcett quickly became famous for her tresses: soft, feathered waves layered and teased voluminously away from her sun-kissed face. The hairstyle was unlike anything else that was popular at the time \u2014 think of 1976 Olympic gold-medalist figure skater Dorothy Hamill\u2019s short, brunette bob \u2014 and it was instantly iconic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pet Rock Phenomenon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Few \u201970s fads were as simple \u2014 and as successful \u2014 as the Pet Rock. Dreamed up by California advertising copywriter Gary Dahl, the Pet Rock was exactly what it sounded like: a small, smooth stone nestled in a cardboard \u201cpet carrier\u201d box that came complete with breathing holes and an instruction manual with tongue-in-cheek rock-training tips. It may have started as a joke between Dahl and his friends about hassle-free pets, but it turned into a bona fide phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disco Everywhere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By the late 1970s, disco had fully infiltrated American culture. What started in underground clubs exploded into the mainstream in unexpected places. The 1977 sensation Saturday Night Fever<\/em> brought platform shoes, bell-bottom pants, and polyester jumpsuits to the big screen, while fast-food titan McDonald\u2019s ran a Big Mac ad set to disco sights and sounds<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, I am far from sure I enjoyed this particular walk down memory lane. Or let me rephrase that a little differently and say some of those memories just made me stick my finger down my throat and gag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for shits and giggles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Snickers candy bar was named after a horse.<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While names like Hershey\u2019s and 3 Musketeers (which originally included three bars<\/a>) are fairly straightforward, some candy bar monikers are more elusive. Case in point: What, exactly, is a Snickers? Well, it\u2019s actually a \u201cwho\u201d \u2014 and not a human \u201cwho\u201d at that. The candy bar was named after one of the Mars family\u2019s favorite horses<\/a>. Franklin Mars founded Mars, Incorporated (originally known as Mar-O-Bar Co.) in 1911<\/a>, introducing Snickers in 1930; when it came time to name his product, he did what any pet lover would do and immortalized his equine friend as only a candy magnate could. (By some accounts, the horse passed away shortly before the product\u2019s launch.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I read that Wendy\u2019s was named after the owners daughter. So, I think this is pretty cool. least they didn’t name the candy bar after their pet rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, because I am pretty much just being lazy today and giving you cut-and-pastes from my emails that I did absolutely no research on, just one more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was Lady Godiva Real?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this is one that I really think you should read for yourself, just because it really is interesting. What I will say is that Lady Godiva really was a person and that Lady Godiva and her husband were well known for their charitable contributions. Now, is there any historical record of her riding naked through the streets? None that I could find when I read the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, there is another mythical character who is also mentioned in this story. Lol. And this person is still referred to today: Peeping Tom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later versions of the legend introduced another character who has endured to this day, and whose name has become a common expression in the English language: Peeping Tom<\/a>. Tom, according to folklore, was a tailor who, unlike his fellow townsfolk, couldn\u2019t resist looking at the beautiful Lady Godiva as she rode by his window. For this violation, he was allegedly struck blind instantly \u2014 a divine punishment for disrespecting Godiva\u2019s noble sacrifice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND, don’t forget this lady made it into modern pop culture with the song about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Lady Godiva” is a popular song originally recorded and released in early 1966 as a single by\u00a0Paul Jones<\/strong>. British pop duo Peter and Gordon subsequently recorded it. Though it only made it to No. 16 in the UK, it became one of the duo’s greatest successes in the United States, rising to No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I freely admit, I absolutely put no effort into today\u2019s post. I am brain-fried from security work on MWPV and also my rants about Data Centers and AI. I just felt it was time to step back and do something fun. Also, now you can see some of the other crap I like to check out besides tech and science. What the hell. There is so much shit going on, so much to absorb and try to understand. Just bullshit for fun once in a while is what we all need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
