Duncan Gillis
Learn from the past. Zeppelin's mystery jacket with no mention of the bands name and no writing on the jacket. Ingenious or Bust?

Nipper was a mixed-breed dog and probably part Jack Russell Terrier, or "part Bull Terrier". He was named Nipper because he would "nip" the backs of visitors' legs. Nipper’s story stretches back to #Bristol where...

#FlashbackFriday | 1933’s 🦍 #KingKong 🦍 Travel to the Mysterious Skull Island The #JurassicPark of it’s Time. We take you back to a time when the leading man was a giant 50 foot ape on the mysterious Skull Island. Few images are as iconic and well known as ��#KingKong 🦍.

These challenges that #ElonMusk and the #Tesla team face are not new. In 1908, Henry #Ford introduced the "assembly line" for motor vehicle construction. The assembly line was built on...
