Vibrating bras to enhance bust size? Understandable back then, no plastic surgeons. But digital manipulation works better than a vibrating bra. Digital Manipulation means "to massage" and what man would not want to give that service?
Yeah, I bet nobody knew that one of the most iconic and famous submachine guns in history is actually real! That's crazy, what a bizarre and strange invention.
OK, enough. The "inventions" here are the creative made up descriptions. Most of these are joke items that were never used except to get a photo. The animals nailed to the outside of a building "before refrigeration" are the skins of hunters/trappers from one season. The rest are equally silly.
The nuclear shelters weren’t made to withstand a blast, but to shelter in for several week waiting for several half-life’s to weaken the radiation risk.
Unless you were far away from ground zero, most non military shelters were useless. A friend from my youth’s father dug out and built a shelter under their basement; it never got used as a shelter though later on the band he was in practiced in there and you couldn’t hear them upstairs!
You were totally wrong on the girls in wooden bathing suits. I grew up in Hoquiam, Washington (not Haquiam). The women were called the 'Spruce Girls' and were a promotional campaign of Grays Harbor Veneer.
I live in Washington State and I have been to Hoquiam, I'm in the Arlington and Marysville area. I wondered if I would ever see someone else who lived in the state of Washington on this channel? That's cool I guess? It's like? howdy Neighbor, how's the weather down there?

Yes, then they branched off and created a splinter group. I had a girlfriend who was on the board. I asked her if it wood work. She said maple, but one thing was plane: it would be the best group I ever saw.
For what it's worth, that's a *bit* of a myth... kind of. They aren't *for* the tea, that's just a happy accident. The boilers are for the type of MREs the British army uses.
Let's hope so? They wouldn't want a few dead bodies laying around, after getting a picture taken? There would be a lot of lawsuits, and people in prison and on death row? if it had real bullets? Instead of film? Just say that you were taking a picture of a corpse? And your camera looked like a gun? And you would have the picture to prove it? It was easier to carry than a real camera? But you better make sure there are no bullet casings around the scene and in your gun camera? Haha I'm just kidding
Cool, home of the small turbine! I worked with them a bit with a turbine that used ammonia or propane as the working fluid. A project to use some solar heat to run well pumps for cattle.
@@danbradley6696 They must be confusing two items. The Jetpack used a small jet engine with large plenums to direct the thrust. The Bell Rocket Belt, as used by James Bond and Lost in Space was from 1961. Rocket Belt could fly for about 20 seconds. The Jet Pack for between 30 and 45 minutes.
@@danbradley6696 Yeah, I know that they had a jetpack in 1965 because it was flown in the James Bond movie Thunderball by test pilot Bill Suitor who was a friend of Bob Courter. Bill and Bob both worked for Bell Labs.

They actually had a better soup cooling spoon that had liquid coolant in the spoon sealed You put it in the freezer . when ready to eat your soup you take it out dip it into the soup the spoon instantly cools the soup cause by the frozen coolant inside the spoon.😊😊
@@dar4835 No mate, they were the whole animal. People would come by early in the day, and get a whole rabbit or a duck, and take it home and cook it. Or you would ask for a particular cut of meat, and the butcher would say "Yes, I will send it around with the boy" and when he had orders enough, would cut the animal up. They did it that way, because A. They didn't have any way of storing cut up meat, no refrigeration, no sterile containers. B. A whole animal which had been gutted, lasted longer than parts of an animal. C. People didn't and still don't, eat an animal immediately after killing it, ducks were killed and hung for a week, cattle were killed and hung for a couple of days. shorter time of course, in hotter weather.
What they didn't tell you about the first gut that got the chair was that they didn't use the wet sponge on the head to make a better contact so if I remember right that first electrocution was messy
Wow. I would never have believed there could ever have been such a thing as an automatic gun made by a man named Thompson. I wonder if it was ever referred to as a Tommy gun.
Transparent polycarbonate plastic boats are available today. Women fencers use hard plastic breast protectors. My wife has one. The isolator helmet...notice the author of the article...Hugo Gernsback, famous sci fi publisher, for whom the Hugo Award is named.

Yeah I can just see the spaghetti sauce flying around the room and on your face and clothes? But mostly in everyone else's faces and clothes? Not to mention the table and chairs? Kind of a cool gadget though? It would work for a prank on someone? And as for the soup fan? Why wouldn't they have just put it on the bowl to cool it down for you as you were eating it? Before you scooped it up?
The John T Thompson's submachine gun aka "Tommy Gun" was neither bizarre nor strange and it certainly caught on. Versions of the gun were used with great success in WW2.
I recently had robotic-assisted laser surgery and all I could think of beforehand was that scene from the movie Logan's Run. ua-cam.com/video/QcMZ8GGnIdU/v-deo.html
The jet pack, per se, has now evolved into a major ultra quick strike force asset in many major countries for numerous scenarios. Shouldn’t have been on your list. Otherwise, I enjoyed your presentation as a first time viewer.
THanks for the warning that I won't believe this video. Saves me time, so I won't watch it. Tell the editor to provide more proof that these things exist.
At 3:34... "Haquian, Washington"???? Nope, never heard of it and I'm a lifelong Washingtonian. HOWEVER, there is a Hoquiam, Washington, which would fit the bill name-wise and location-wise.
These are fun! There are still lucite boats out there. Some dinghies and kayaks used for tourism. They are actually pretty cool. Also the reflectors for sun tanning were popular in the US in the 1970's. They were for tanning under your chin. Mop shoes are still a thing now too. They are slippers with mop material under them. They actually work and are crazy comfy. Lol.

You need to add these comments to one of your videos. Sheeple that are too stupid to figure out how to avoid the ads so they cry about it instead. I see you have plenty of material.
And then there was this video. Some people watched it for the novelty, but it never really caught on due to its dubious claims...

It literally said that in the video ffs

British battle tanks still have water boilers so crews can make tea.

Free dispensers were available at the Alameda County Fair this Summer

The newer see thru boats/Kayaks,( though no longer made of Lucite), are now made of polycarbonate or Acrylic materials.
These rare photos give us a fascinating glimpse into the past. Amazing!
It’s crazy to see how creative people were. Loved this look into history!
Some of these things are still sold. The vibrating bra is still sold in adult stores.
It's also creative to see how crazy people were.
I just had to stop I couldn't stand the computer voice. Why don't you guys just hire a human?
So, the only practical thing was the gun? Figures.
Well, it DID work…
