Epic Win: Flying Toasters Screen Saver
Submitted by Nelson
Ah yes, the After Dark screensavers. I remember when people used to pay for screensavers, but I guess if you’re putting down cash for flying toasters, it’s money well spent.
Now, you can download a similar version for free — on Macs and PCs. When the computer goes to sleep, you go nostalgic.
Epic Win: Spy vs. Spy

Submitted by eg bob
Spy vs. Spy was a staple of MAD Magazine back in the ’60s when it was funny and continues on today. The cartoon was created by Cuban cartoonist Antonio Prohias, who fled to the U.S. days before Castro took over the country’s free press. Naturally, Spy vs. Spy is about the Cold War — but I suppose Black and White never really got the lesson on tit-for-tat.
They also made a few cartoon shorts that are pretty good. Here’s one:

Submitted by Molly
