BOMBS AWAY @ TCHM

TSG recently visited the newly-reopened Computer History Museum and discovered this interesting display concept for the Norden Bombsight. Unfortunately we did not think to record a video clip of it (you would've seen the bombs dropping down to the target and exploding).

Much to our surprise, we encountered a kindred spirit of sorts in one of the other galleries:

More images from TCHM can be seen here (album is a work in progress, more photos will be added next week): http://picasaweb.google.com/yawndave/ComputerHistoryMuseum12211#

An Old Game (but new to TSG)

"It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors." -- Sheldon Cooper

This post inspired our recent marathon viewing of the second season of The Big Bang Theory  (RPSLS is older than that. Apparently the game pre-dates the CBS sitcom by nearly a decade.)

What's for lunch?
