...glaze over. Some of the group's ideas for jazzing up Senator Sominex were deemed too creative. (That's always a hazard when you are culling advice from a world where adult diapers are hawked as a fashion statement.) The campaign reportedly rejected doing an aerial shot of a giant pair of shoes to conjure up the former Knick as tall and Lincolnesque. But Bradley and his team took other suggestions. The Crystal Group came up with the slogan IT CAN HAPPEN, which has appeared in print ads in New Hampshire and Iowa and is expected to show...
...Herman, Burton found a comrade-in-oddness and the perfect start to work with on this all-important first film. With a story centering around Herman's search for his lost bicycle, Adventure led one on a surreal road trip across the U.S. complete with giant concrete dinosaurs, biker gangs and a memorable rendition of the song "Tequila." One of the sleeper hits of 1985, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure established Burton as a "bankable" director...
...Texans' nearly religious pigskin tradition, the idea of a school-sanctioned project that compels students to climb all over a 40-foot structure brings up some elementary questions of accountability. Why are students allowed, and even encouraged, to spend 10 nights each fall building what amounts to a giant campfire, despite the fact that there have been at least two bonfire-related fatalities in past years? The answer is exasperatingly simple: For many Aggies, "building this bonfire is a cornerstone of their college experience," says Gwynne. "This is a core Texas tradition, and it's taken very seriously...
These temples of scientific and technological enlightenment trace their roots to Munich's pioneering Deutsches Museum, created in 1903. Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry and Philadelphia's Franklin Institute brought the movement to the U.S. in the 1930s. Science centers took a giant leap forward, says Franklin's Dennis Wint, in 1969 when man walked on the moon and the Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto ushered in the hands-on era by inviting museumgoers to explore science by pulling ropes, cranking levers and sounding gongs...
Fortunately for other dinos that walked the earth in about 110 million years B.C., this giant was a vegetarian and probably snacked on pine needles and ferns. It was similar in size and overall shape to the beast most people still think of--despite a highly unpopular renaming a few years ago--as Brontosaurus. The University of Oklahoma paleontologists who found the new species have named it, aptly, Sauroposeidon, after the Greek sea god. Poseidon was also in charge of earthquakes, and it's clear that every step this gargantuan creature took must have been literally seismic...
