Celebrating its 40th anniversary last Monday, the Apollo 11 moon landing is an epic win, and probably the only epic win we’ll ever run that’s not tinged with at least a little bit of irony. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and the other guy — we salute you! (The third guy is Michael Collins, but how many of you could name him off the top of your head?)

For a great interactive history lesson, check out We Choose the Moon.

TMNT will always be heroes in a half shell. Splinter is the radical rat, Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines,
Raphael is cool but crude, and Michelangelo is a party dude. That’s how it is and how it will always be. When the evil Shredder attacks, those turtle boys don’t cut ‘em no slack. (and that’s a fact jack).

Remember how these were like special occasion stickers and only showed up on your really good papers/homework?

However, what we really want to know is: who on Earth thought that synthetic fried chicken smell on a sticker was something that anyone wanted to scratch, let alone sniff? The mind boggles.

What was your favorite sticker? Tell us in the comments.

Who doesn’t love a scented marker? These were always a treat when your teacher would bust out Mr. Sketch for art time! Much better than the Design Markers that some of us ended up with later on. Those were NOT to be used in an enclosed space for an extended period. Bad, bad things would happen. Just sayin’.

Here’s a handy color/scent chart in case you’ve forgotten the awesome:
