Via darthgeek, Parachute Wedding Dress.

This wedding dress was made from a nylon parachute that saved Maj. Claude Hensinger during World War II.

In August 1944, Hensinger, a B-29 pilot, and his crew were returning from a bombing raid over Yowata, Japan, when their engine caught fire. The crew was forced to bail out. Suffering from only minor injuries, Hensinger used the parachute as a pillow and blanket as he waited to be rescued. He kept the parachute that had saved his life. He later proposed to his girlfriend Ruth in 1947, offering her the material for a gown.

DUDE! How incredibly cool is that?!

I found this one on my own. *grin* Door Knocker.

The postman really did ring twice, or knocked, or blew a whistle. Letter carriers waited for someone to answer their signal, and if no one was home, they took the mail back to the post office and tried again the next day. Studies showed carriers spent an average of two hours daily waiting at the doorstep. To save work hours, the Post Office Department required residents to install mailboxes or letter slots in 1916.

I'd seen a couple of these before, but they're all really good and interesting shots.

Say it in Llama.

Pipe Organ ATM.

Why? Because pipe organ. That's why.

That was odd. My middle finger vibrated for a few seconds. I guess someone, somewhere was doing something I really needed to flip them off for.

"Your overdue inheritance/lottery prize". Wow, covering all bases there, spam? Good for you!
