Mickey Mouse Mask

If you're a student of the Second World War you probably know about the Mickey Mouse gas mask that was issued to British children to protect against gas attacks. I always thought that there was something perfectly logical yet slightly unnerving about a gas mask aimed at kids, but this had nothing on the American version, which was really a Mickey Mouse mask.

I like the logo. Nice touch.

And now, courtesy of Modern Mechanix, we present the King Tut's tomb of cutlery: The Ur spork of 1935.

The excitement is palpable.
