Links, Winks, and Shrinky Dinks . . . Exposed! Make your own for nothing, from the polystyrene you have lying around the house. P.S. look for the “6.”

Paul Hiebert, noted Canadian humourist and familiar of a previously posted prairie poetess, was also a pretty good chemistry professor.

Links, Winks, and Sarah Binks, “The Sweet Songstress of Saskatchewan,” who gave her life to poetry and died a martyr to the muse.

Before The Honeymooners, before even I Love Lucy, there was Your Show of Shows starring such notables as Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca (right), and Carl Reiner, and employeeing a few other people of whom you might have heard.

The poster at the left harkens from a simpler time, before the intentional invocation of Godwin fell into disrepute.

Today, of course, we know better.
