“The year 2000 is approaching fast…every job on earth will have its match in space… should you decide to take a job in space, picture yourself riding in a Shuttle to work…by the turn of the century, look to permanent bases on the Moon, trips to Mars, and full-sized cities in the sky. The Space Age will have truly arrived!”
-from The Cheerios Space Shuttle Adventure Kit, 1981
To think we’ve all been let down …by Cheerios.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
