This is an actual map from 1877, depicting Russia as an octopus!  Can be purchased at http://prints.bl.uk/art/406697/Serio-Comic_World_Map_for_the_year_1877(also it's very interesting that the reference is in English AND German...) |

Well, the idea of an octopus as an empire is an old one and routinely seen. |

This is less "hilarious" and more "OMGWTFBBQ AWESOME". I figure it still belongs here.

A giant mechanical spider wouldn't last five minutes in Liverpool! It'd be up on bricks and his legs would be nicked and sold off before you can say 'E-bay!'  I must admit, though..it does remind me of the giant steampowered Harvester Spiders that Mark Hodder has in 'Expediation to the Moutains of the Moon' |

According to Wikipedia, this sideshow originated in America. I remember watching the wall of death as a child, at the Kursal in Southend, where previously, the stunt was performed with a lion and a lamb in the sidecar by George "Tornado" Smith!! Taking a lion in the sidecar became a popular act, this picture was taken in Revere Beach, MA Circa 1929  And HERE is an old pathe film of the act (Possibly from the Kursal) |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."
