Makes it that much more impossible to watch political debates, too.

Maybe it's just me, but I find this photo fantastic on many levels.
More pics from the groovy age of computation here.

This is what my moms office looked like when I was little, they used to sneak me in through the bars on the windows so she didn't have to take a day off when Kindergarten was closed. I could not get in through the front door cause the place was top security, it was "The Central Scientific Research Institute"

She worked in a large room filled with Russian version of IBM computer (it might have been HP they copied, all a blur now) rows and rows of fridge sized boxes making noises, spinning large discs and spitting out perforated tape and cards. I always took home a souvenirs: big bag of little dots that were punched form the tape, would make it "snow" on the way home

Were Monster Mutton Chops all the rage in Mother Russia back then, as well?

That's got to be the best mash-up cosplay I've seen.

I've only seen trailers, but it does appear to head in the right direction.

Help me reconcile this...

ATTATT...? (All the turban, all the time?)

His helmet must be enormous...

(From the Sikhs I've talked to, they just rely on the turban.

)

Sikhs are actually exempt from all helmet laws over here (but they MUST instead wear the turban).
Also, if a Sikh joins the police or other uniformed service, they get a special uniform-colored turban (I've seen a sikh customs officer at Düsseldorf airport once, didn't half look funny, the combination of the 70s cut khakis, green jacket and green turban with the state seal affixed to it where it would go on a cap...).
If they join the army, they are automatically exempt from any part of the service where duty involves the wearing of helmets.

Their rules on wearing the turban are, from what I understand, superstrict and involve not just the garment itself, but also how it is wrapped, so a turban-lookalike helmet wouldn't do.

I wonder what a sikh would do if he wanted to become a fireman...

Same deal in Kanuckistan.

My goal is to look as good as Iggy when I get to be as old as him now, past behavior notwithstanding.
