    Default A Wikipedia Revelation: Stay Puft

    You learn the damnedest things reading Wikipedia. Ever since I first saw the movie, Ghostbusters, I thought Stay Puft marshmallows, and the company's mascot, the Pillsbury Doughboy-like sailor, were real. I would have sworn I had seen the mascot years before the movie was made.

    Thinking that to be true made the scene in the film that much funnier to me, but now I admire the writers and designers for developing such a believable pop icon.

    For those of you not familiar with it, here's a link.

    Did anyone else think the product and character were real?

    Yes, acctually. This is news to me!
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    You learn summat new everyday.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    You certainly do. For example, that someone actually thought it was worthwhile writing an entry on a character in Ghostbusters.

    There much, much less worthwhile things on wiki than that.
