This list of “stuff you didn’t know” pretty much delivered on that title for me. “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la

Take old commercials, loop bits of them and you get this video. The Clapper commercial is now a bit more sinister.

This is a “Scrabble Online Inspired Word Game”. You need a free account and I can’t vouch for a lack of spam, I suggest using a throwaway email address. Fun game though!

WNAR streams radio from the 1930’s - 1950’s. Neato.
