"Lisa Kudrow Aka “Phoebe” Wearing A Team Lithuania Basketball Tee While Filming An Episode Of Friends In 1997"
"After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Lithuania couldn’t afford to send its basketball team to the 1992 Olympics.
The iconic group Grateful Dead agreed to help sponsor Lithuania’s national basketball team alongside with the designer of the ‘Skullman’ t-shirt Greg Speirs, if they agreed to wear tie-dyed uniforms.
Getting the Dead was a major coup. The band wrote a check for $5,000 but more importantly granted Lithuania the rights to sell a Dead t-shirt, a stoned-out psychedelic masterpiece splashed with Lithuania’s national colors of green, red, and yellow and anchored by the Dead’s skeleton symbol.
Between the excitement of Lithuania taking home the bronze medal in 1992 and sales of the t-shirt, it financed most of Lithuania’s participation in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. The shirt kept Lithuania in the news while telling the story of the countries heroic struggle for freedom and its battle to get the team to Barcelona"

"For 738 Days, Between 1997 And 1999, Julia ‘Butterfly’ Hill Lived In The Canopy Of An Ancient Redwood Tree In California Called Luna On Two 6 X 4 Foot Platforms"
"At a height of 180 feet to stop the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down and to help make the world aware of the plight of ancient forests.
She sat in the tree, originally expecting to be up there for one to two weeks like many activists were in the 1990’s not aware of the impact her act was going to have.
After a long period of negotiations Julia agreed to come down from Luna after agreeing that the tree would be permanently protected and a near three acre buffer zone would be put in around the tree.
The stunt also raised awareness of the lack of trees left standing in America.
When Julia came down she was a national hero and quickly became recognised for the memorable protest"

"In 1986, A French Woman Named Nadine Bourgain Helped Her Husband, Michel Vaujour, Escape From Prison By Flying A Helicopter Into The Prison And Flying Him Away"
"Michel was serving a 28 year sentence for robbery and attempted murder. He had made four escape attempts before and was moved to a very secure prison.
Nadine had trained for several months to gain the qualifications to operate a helicopter. But instead of rushing to help her husband escape, she waited and became familiar with everyone at the airport so it wasn’t too suspicious.
When the time came, Michel, with the help of another inmate, a fake pistol and nectarines painted to look like hand grenades, made their way to the roof where only Michel made the escape. Nadine landed at a nearby football stadium where they made their escape by car.
Michel was eventually caught four months later when he tried to rob a bank in Paris and was shot and wheelchair bound for life. Nadine gave herself up after being surrounded by police and served 14 months in prison."

"Louise Bourgeois ‘Spider’ Sculpture In The 90s"
"Louise Bourgeois created the first of her darkly compelling spider sculptures in the mid-1990s, when she was in her eighties. The artist saw spiders as both fierce and fragile, capable of being protectors as well as predators.
For Bourgeois, the spider embodied an intricate and sometimes contradictory mix of psychological and biographical allusions. Partly a reference to her mother, partly to herself, spiders for her represented cleverness, industriousness, and protectiveness."

To celebrate this union, Marvel went beyond the panels and organized a real wedding for the iconic couple, with none other than the legendary Stan Lee officiating .

"Ferrari F40 Destroyed After Bursting Into Flames In Monaco"
"Launched in 1987, the Ferrari F40 is one of the most fabled supercars of all time. A successor to the 280 GTO, the F40 paved the way for future flagship Ferraris like the Enzo and LaFerrari. Only 1,315 examples were built between 1987 and 1992. The average price of a Ferrari F40 today is $2,591,368.
Sadly the fire started in the engine compartment and quickly spread. At one stage, as you can see in the video, a stranger grabbed a garden hose to try and put it out. It was a valiant effort but the trickle of water was no match for the intense blaze."

(I f-ing love the Fight Club movie and book. I watched the movie when I was working dull night-shifts in a datacenter, and I wasn't really paying attention. Then the twist hit me like a truck, and I had to see it again and again, but for some reason, I always forget what's _really_ happening. If you haven't seen it; there's a reason it's in the IMDB top 10.)
As insidious as Alzheimer's disease is, if I had it, I would watch movies I've seen several times before...as if it's the very first time.
