The KGB Spy Gadgets that Fought the Cold War Go to Auction | Art & Object (artandobject.com)

Saw this and thought it was interesting. Now you can can have a piece of clandestine history in your collection to show off to friends or perhaps you could do your best Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) impression with the real equivalent to the shoe phone or poison umbrella.

 

Interesting!

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020.

boy , that museum wasn't around long.....and closed.....due to the pandemic?????

I think it was just an ad to hype the collection........

 

Sounds plausible however there are a lot of museums closing their doors out there currently or will be in the next year. Even in my local area there is talk about a few notable collections in museums that are getting more likely to be sold as little to no revenue comes through the door due to the pandemic continuing to keep tourism away. Hate to see it as a lot of these smaller niche museums add a lot of diversity to the subject matter you see.

 

march 19th...with 150 deaths, covid wasn't a thing in the US.....
and the Pres. had it all under control ......

Two of the drugs Trump mentioned, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, are already approved as antimalarials. He said that, because they have been around for a long time, it would be easier to get approval for their use to treat the coronavirus.

"So we know that if things don't go as planned it's not going to kill anybody," Trump said. "When you go with a brand new drug, you don't know that that's going to happen."

He said the drugs will be available "almost immediately" for prescription use.
