Title: Popular Science archive
Post by: ironbut on April 04, 2010, 07:11:48 AM

Hey folks. It's me again with another link that I hope will tickle your fancy.
I don't know about you guys, but I used to subscribe to Popular Science magazine a long time ago and used to love checking out those "glimpses into the future" type articles.
Well, now they've put up an archive where you can go back and see just how we're doing on our gadget time line.
137 years? Can that be for real?

My impulse was to search "death ray". Got a zillion hits.

Ah yes. The traditional Easter Sunday death ray search.
After all, if the Romans had had a decent death ray, then the rabbits wouldn't have to hide all those eggs.
