True Films

A site with short reviews of documentaries. Looks interesting.

Gizmo: A compilation of strange contraptions and bodily extreme feats from the 1920's through 1950's. Free on Google video. One think I think is funny is to see a man put his own body through the hoop of a tennis racket, or balancing on five chairs 40 stories up, and doing it in a vest and tie!

I'm astounded that over 50 years ago somebody invented an automatic lawn mower and an automatic jack to lift cars when they have flats, and they are not in broad use yet!
