Travel Mars

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Here at Blogadilla, Google Ads picked up on the key word “Mars” (in a few recent posts below) and produced this Yahoo Travel information ad in our ad space:

A few observations:
• “Save up to 70% at Yahoo Travel” – that means getting to Mars will now only cost you $115,800,000.

• A “candid review” of Mars as a travel destination?!

“Mars . . . looks pretty from space, but when you get there . . . what a frozen sh!thole!”

“Mars – Like New Mexico without the turquoise jewelry . . . and more New Age wackos.”

“Mars – Smells worse than New Jersey, but better than Uranus.

What Is It?: The Hobo Nickel

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Though the art of engraving designs onto metal currency pre-existed “Hobo Nickels,” when the American “Indian Head Nickel” was released in 1913, the art form took off. Given the large size and relative low cost of the nickel, this became the canvas of choice among hobos – often adding a hat and scruffy beard to the Indian portrait, making him into a hobo.

The Original Hobo Nickel Society (OHNS) is doing its best to keep this odd artform alive – take a look at their gallery of newly crafted Hobo Nickels.
