A trip back in time


Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson, Herald staff

Wayback wheels: Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient chariot in Bulgaria. They say the chariot is 1,900 years old, which indicates the Bulgarians invented the wheel about the same time they invented impalement.

The jumpsuit has left the building: Back when regular folks had disposable income, many of us spent it on Elvis commemorative plates. Rich folks prefer the real thing. Witness the person who plunked down 300 grand for The King's peacock jumpsuit.

If the buyer checks the pockets, he or she just might find a few leftover Dilaudid pills. And, perhaps, a greasy crust from a fried peanut butter-and-banana sandwich.

Jour d'infamie: A new movie dramatizes an event that made Frenchmen hang their heads in shame. No, not the day they surrendered to the Germans, but the day in 1976 when a panel of experts judged California wine to be as good as -- and even better than -- French vino. Quelle tragédie!
