Born in 1880, Koo Koo’s real name was Minnie Woolsey who suffered from a skeletal disorder and was completely blind. Billed as “The Blind Girl From Mars”, she would never react to anything around her and would sit motionless for hours in a chair. She managed to parade in a feathered costume on the set of Freaks and can be seen dancing on the table during the wedding feast scene.
Go look at the sky, people. It’s the Sun’s storm season and things are looking miiiiiitghy glorious.

A Is For Atom
Although the “Atoms for Peace” campaign was formally launched in 1957, corporate America began to promote peaceful uses of atomic energy as early as the first few months after Hiroshima. A Is For Atom, an artifact of this effort, takes this highly loaded and threatening issue straight to the public in an attempt to “humanize” the figure of the atom.
