Wacky Packages stickers - Topps (1979 reissue)

"Known affectionately among collectors as Wacky Packs, the Topps stickers that parodied well-known consumer brands were a phenomenon in the 1970s―even outselling the Topps Company’s baseball cards for a while. But few know that the genius behind it all was none other than Art Spiegelman―the Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic novelist who created Maus." -this book

"The Hoover Dam kicked off its America 250 celebrations with the unfurling of a massive American flag and a red, white and blue light display. The full display includes more than 500 LED lights and over 126,000 feet of wire. The flag itself measures at 300 feet by 150 feet - the size of an American football field - and weighs approximately 2,000 pounds." (x)
