Homer had his arm stuck in the soda machine for several hours. Finally rescue worker says, "Homer, let go of the can."

Sweet!!! Looks like a time traveling machine. Take me to 1776 please.

I'll take 1976...

I thought it was a soda dispenser! It sure looks like one. "Can I have some coke please?"

now this is cool!

I remember that my mom and dad had a console radio that looked exactly like that little sucker.

WOW that is amazing! Fluorascopes were really the precurser to x-rays. They actually operated more like a tv. You would stand behind it and a machine generated x rays though you to the screen. More xray energy than someone would see in a hundred lifetimes today. Talk about exposure. Its no wonder people didn't glow afterwards
