A bit of rock salt strewn on the ground and the effect would be complete.

Looking at those boxes on the floor, are we sure that these aren’t Ghostbuster uniforms?

Boing Boing should totally look into the story of Playtex and the making of the Apollo spacesuits.

Boing Boing? How about the masterminds behind Mad Men?

As a skeptic, I’ll throw out there that it’s more like a Dr Who episode, “They turned to dust! Right before our eyes! In the New New New York Library! In the year 9 billion!”

Well, that’s what you get for dissing a weird short dude in a centurion costume complete with funny green broom hat. @_@

An even better story is how women wove rope memory – a crude form of ROM. They took them from watch making and textiles factories and put them to work for Raytheon in Mass. http://books.google.com/books?id=IT-chpAkCZ0C&pg=PA293&lpg=PA293&dq=playtex+rope+memory&source=bl&ots=CPrVA9RfHP&sig=6T_ol8L_fmjlN_8-bgayoH_wATg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=kciYT-2-JIT02QXewOmuBw&ved=0CG8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=playtex%20rope%20memory&f=false

I wouldn’t have thought so, since it displays a nonbeliever’s lack of faith in the survivability of God’s Presence. But what the hell, threadwinner, you earned it!

Boingboing should totally look into the story of Playtex and the making of the Apollo spacesuits.

“When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface in July of 1969, they wore spacesuits crafted by seamstresses taken from the assembly-line of Playtex, maker of bras and girdles: This book is the story of that suit.”
