Bill, it's non-functional. I bought it at a Texas swap meet years ago because I thought it was cool looking shop art.

Here is a good one of a pin issued by NASA:

Someone once tried to argue with me that the world was flat and the idea of it being a sphere was an illusion. My response was they were likely just a waste of my time no matter what they wanted to discuss and left them standing where they were.

One of my favorite Far Sides:
Here are few I have saved up over the years, including a Dilbert when it was funny and a Farside that is my favorite. The ad was actually in a small paper in the Seattle area in the late 80s.

Mods, this might be considered unsuitable. This help wanted classified ad was published in our local paper by a local major health institution. I always wondered who got yelled at or worse for it's publication.

Just found this in a 15 year old backup file. Hopefully this animated gif file will display properly on this forum. You might need to click on the image to get it to animate. :D

Yeah. Like me.
I had a '71 Pinto, Green like a lime. Would do over 120mph with that 2kcc motor. Back in '74 a kid driving a Vega, (of all things) hit the back corner, totaling it.
Wound up wearing out 3 of those cars.

I had a green Pinto in the early 70's. Loved driving it, handled like a sports car.
While sitting at a traffic light someone rear-ended and wiped out the car. His insurance paid me more than I had paid for the car. Then one day I noticed an identical Pinto on a side street with the front end demolished. I knocked on the door and he made an offer on mine so he could put both together and have one good one. At least mine had no damage on the expensive end! I ended up with maybe three times what I paid for the Pinto.
