Product of the day at Amazon: temporary dye to restore the youthful pink color back to your labia (read the reviews)

My New Pink Button (tm) is a temporary dye to restore the youthful pink color back to your labia. There is no other product like it. 

This patent pending formula was designed by a female certified Paramedical Esthetician after she discovered her own genital color loss. While looking online for a solution she discovered thousands of other women asking the same questions regarding their color loss. After countless searches revealing no solution available and a discussion with her own gynecologist she decided to create her own. Now there is a solution!

Check out the reviews.

Ave atque vale Harold Ramis (aka Egon from Ghostbusters, among other things), age 69

He was the main writer of the Ghostbusters movies, and director/co-writer of Groundhog Day and National Lampoon's Vacation, among others. More at The Guardian and at IMDB.

A typical bit of writing:

[Egon is running tests on Louis, who has been possessed by Gozer and is now the Keymaster] 

Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for? 

Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

How to Care for a Newborn: Advice From 1254

The Cholmondeley Ladies, c. 1600-1610

I'm always trying to convince my kids and grandkids that the old ways are frequently the best, but this may be going a little too far back: 

“After the woman has delivered the child, you should know how to take care of the child. Know that as soon as the child is born, it should be wrapped in crushed roses mixed with fine salt… And when one wishes to swaddle [the baby], the members should be gently couched and arranged so as to give them a good shape, and this is easy for a wise nurse; for just as wax when it is soft takes whatever form one wishes to give to it, so also the child takes the form which its nurses give to it. And for this reason, you should know that beauty and ugliness are due in large measure to nurses. And when its arms are swaddled, and the hands over the knees, and the head lightly swaddled and covered, let it sleep in the cradle.”

~Aldobrandino of Siena, Regimen for the Body (1254), tr. Faith Wallis

Via Ask The Past: Don’t worry: caring for a newborn is as easy as curing a ham. Just salt it with some aromatics, arrange it nicely, and wait for it to age.

Cool: Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, in 1969 film with sisters Maggie and Lisa, made by his father Homer

“The Story” is a short film starring Maggie, Lisa, and Matt Groening (wiki), who would go on to create The Simpsons (wiki).  The film was shot by their father Homer in 1969. In the film Lisa recounts an adventure that she and Matt have in the woods. 

Homer Groening worked in advertising but found time to make cartoons and write stories with his children. Matt talks about “The Story” and how he was influenced by Homer in this 2012 interview with Smithsonian Magazine (see excerpt below the video)

From the interview cited above:

My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals. I told it to my sister Lisa, and she in turn told it to my sister Maggie. My father recorded the telling of the story by Lisa to Maggie, and then he used it as the soundtrack to a movie. So the idea of dramatizing the family—Lisa, Maggie, Matt—I think was the inspiration for doing something kind of autobiographical with “The Simpsons.” There is an aspect of the psychodynamics of my family in which it makes sense that one of us grew up and made a cartoon out of the family and had it shown all over the world.
