A Recipe to Ruin Your Sunday

Seth Fischer bio ↓  ·  October 25th, 2009  ·  filed under books

The Guardian pointed out Wednesday that every Life Magazine is now available at Google Books, and now, thanks to them, my week has been ruined. And now I’ve ruined yours!

There is so much to find.

The Guardian discovered this lovely diagram explaining the difference between high brow and low brow. Apparently, supporting Planned Parenthood is “upper-middle brow.”

I’m also completely fascinated by this  Coca-Cola ad from the January 1945 issue that supposedly depicts “the good-natured initiation of those who cross the equator for the first time.” Looks good natured to me! (Click through to see the image)

And because I have nothing better to do with my time, if you find something you like, link to it in the comments section so I can look.
