Something that popped up on FB today and i very vividly remember watching as a very young child, a crayon factory clip from Sesame Street. PBS Online reports it first aired in the 1980-1981 season, so it's still got some rockin' late '70s styles happening.
A recent viewing of John Hawks' very excellent blog popped up two very, very interesting articles. One regarded women with 4 types of cone receptors in their eyes; one such woman is able to distinguish colors past what ordinary folks can, plus features some really neat experimental design. A shame that their fathers/sons might be colorblind, though?
The other article featured kurgans (ancient burial mounds in Russia) and various associated discoveries, including, towards the bottom of the article, a gorgeous tattoo of a red deer preserved on a mummy's arm. Gosh. (This one's for you, Jack.)
