I am in the clothes I slept in, which just happens to be the clothes I wore yesterday - with added pink slippers and an old college hooded sweatshirt.

I know what you're thinking.....HOW IS SHE SINGLE?!?! It is a question for the ages.

SCIENCE LOOKS AHEAD TO 2000 A.D. (Mar, 1958)

By the year 2000, for instance, it is entirely possible that we may have spaceships which can travel at a speed approaching the speed of light.

Ha ha ha ha!

By 2000 A.D., what remains of cheap fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, will be limited; hydroelectric power will have been utilized to the maximum; and atomic energy will be commonplace as a substitute for the older sources of energy!

Huh. Partially right....

One of the most dramatic areas in our future, I believe, will lie in our fast increasing ability to solve mathematical, engineering and scientific problems with the help of electronic computers. Computers and photoelectric sensing devices are the keys to man’s ability to grapple sue- the sea as well, growing foods that are not even thought of now, such as unicellular animals and plants. This would make available adequate food for our expanding population for at least a century.

You know, hardly anyone back then predicted that computers would be used extensively for communication....

eta:

Our forms of transportation are more difficult to predict. Since 1900 we have been building up an enormous problem in traffic control. It is my belief that most of the long-range transportation of goods and materials in the year 2000 will be done by unmanned space vehicles automatically and safely controlled from origin to destination along predetermined and non-interfering spaceways.

Um....

I have never been to Paris but I can't believe that's true, because New York pizza is The Worst.

Chuck E. Cheese would beg to differ.

phooey. Our dryer just died. I guess we're shopping for appliances this weekend. Good thing there aren't any spendy holidays coming up, right?

I forget if this has been lined to before:

Superman vs. Muhammad Ali

I like how Batman and Lex Luthor have ringside seats.

No sooner does reporter Clark Kent stumble across Muhammad Ali shooting hoops in Metropolis’ “inner city ghetto” than an despotic alien named Rat’lar appears to talk intergalatic trash. Specifically, Rat’lar is Emperor of the warlike Scrubb race, and he challenges earth’s champion to fisticuffs. If said Earth champion loses, Earth will be destroyed. If said champion wins, Earth will be spared.

The question: Who will be Earth’s champion? Superman claims the right, but Ali points out — quite rightly — that Superman is a Kryptonian, not an Earthman. Rat’lar isn’t having any of this Terran shilly-shallying — he’s got minions to yell at, and that fist of his doesn’t shake itself, after all — so he orders the two men to decide the issue by duking it out in 24 hours’ time.

From 1978, but just reissued....

Nothing is worse than pizza in Paris. Nothing.

I really want to get the rubber duckie nativity for my niece. I'll bet she doesn't have that in her collection.

Give Him a slice of Chicago pizza - He loves that.

Well, if you want to have to gnaw through all that dough . . .

People are criticizing the NASA announcement even before they make it: [link]

the angle being used to sell the story is that this might have implications for alien life. Of course, the results have nothing to do with aliens. If anything, they expand the possibilities of what alien life might look like. If bacteria on Earth can exist using a biochemistry that’s very different to that of other microbes, it stands to reason that aliens could do the same.

Ack! WW changed!
