Build Your Own Heavenly Pizza


This is an interesting simple site. You can can "build" a pizza of your choice. You have the choices of the crust thickness, sauce and the toppings. On the left of the page, there is a nutrition data that changes whenever you add or eliminate an ingredient. You basically "play" with your pizza "base".

A Futurliner Restoration


This is one cool Futurliner. I would very much love to see it in person!

According to this site (see image above) "This is Futurliner #10. It was one of 12 built by GM for the Parade of Progress show in the 40s and 50s. Restoration, by a dedicated crew of volunteers, began in 1999. A display for the interior has been built by the volunteers but it is still hoped that GM will allow the American Crossroads display (the only original display remaining) to be restored and displayed in the Futurliner."

The Telly & The Radio Days

This site has British TV and radio nostalgia starting decades ago to present. They have all kind of stuff that like the vintage "Radio Times" magazines and the tv channels history. There is also a section for th 80's among other things. If you want to see the vintage magazines (radio times), go to "telly years". I only see the "Radio Times" magazine covers though. Where are the "TV Times" covers?

Yucky Gross & Cool Body Functions


"The yuckiest site on the internet" has been around like forever. I've used it a few time for references. It's for kids, but heck, we adults can enjoy it too! It's entertaining and easy to follow. Now, this topic here is called "yucky gross and cool body". They got all this stuff that you normally, and probably, wouldn't even ask your doctor. Well, maybe not some of them.
