I can't get the hotlink to work since the code changes shiny happy person in the address to shiny happy person. Go here, surprisingly I was able to find a SFW shiny happy person image... SFW shiny happy person link =

Revisionist history, eh?

They're not the only company to do that. According to this article Datsun engaged in some revisionist history, too. In October of 1971, Datsun UK brochures said that the first Datsun was a copy of the Austin Seven:

Here's a picture of the datsun that was imported to see if datsun was infringing on austin patents . Austin decided it was not.

(My guess, though, is that this is because they imported the wrong car. If they had imported and checked a Type 11/Type 12 instead of a Type 14, I'm guessing that charges would have been pressed.)

I have no idea where you would actually go to buy one. I like the brain.

Puff the Magic Dragon is a song about a gunship.

I'd be willing to bet ... maybe as much as a quarter that Peter , Paul , & Mary had no idea that their "protest" folk song would become synonymous with a killing machine like Spooky...
