Don't Call Me Shirley!



Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the film Airplane! Surely, we can't let that go by without some kind of celebration, like, hmm,  ...a quiz. How well do you know the jokes in the classic 1980 movie? Find out in today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss. I scored 64%, despite not having seen the movie in at least twenty years. Link

It is a device used by a potter working at a wheel to make multiple copies of a particular item, like a mug. By setting the pointer at the desired diameter and height, the potter can more easily make duplicates.

It's called a Trusquin in french, it's a tool used to write (mark) a discret line at a constant level in a piece of wood, a mockup, etc. Normally it's more simple, only slipping on a vertical stem. This one is more complex, so it can mark a line in the inside of a shape.

Clearly this is a steam powered remote surgery tool used back in the 1800s. The head could be easily swapped for forceps, scalpels, and syringes. Sadly, it was incredibly difficult to use, as news on how well the surgery was going had to be relayed to the surgeon through telegraph. Remote surgery was largely forgotten for decades.

Cheese mould destroyer. The blades of the tripod sink into the cheese, and the laser-powered point zaps all the blue veins from the cheese. It was originally developed for human use (varicose veins) but the blades chopped up people's legs something terrible.

I'd like a 4-armed T-shirt, size XXL, so that I can carry away my dead and/or drugged victims without arousing suspicion.

Nothing to go potty about, this is actually an antique travellers guide. The sharp end points to your location. The label is missing which states, "You are here." It would be pointed at a map or street directory.

Science XL please.

It's a RonCo Point-o-matic. It points up, it points down, it will even point at Aunt Betty (cut to camera two, cue laughtrack then applause). If you've ever needed to point at something, and who hasn't, then you NEED the Ronco Point-o-matic.

This is a 19th Century Irrelevant Argument Augmenter. When someone is in favor of doing something irrelevant and their counterpart claims "There's no point!" the protagonist can put this on the table and reply "THIS is the point!"

This is a very exact book marker. Simply point arm exactly where you leave off in you amazing book. Now go make that grilled cheese sandwich you were thinking about for the last hour. Come back and you'll know exactly where you left off!
