Favorite Trivia contributions

Gas Jockey's Gear Humble, 1950's gas station attendant by day, crazy pyromaniac by night...The smell of fresh gas fumes and burnt rubber is just what this once humble service man loves the most.

Disguised as part of a mild-mannered reference to a humble (and lovable) alter ego, the Humble name was in fact the alter ego of Standard Oil of New Jersey (largest oil company in the world), which it used to brand its gas stations in the ‘50s and ‘60s in some states (such as New Mexico) where it was legally blocked from using the Esso name.

Powerjack

• The 1910’s Ford Model T car jack model used for the handle is missing the ratchet mechanism used to select whether lever action raises or lowers the screw jack.
• The original Ford Model T fan belts were brown leather straps.

A Cold Day in Hell

• The fate of Amelia Earhart is a romantic mystery of the 1930s.
  • Earhart's lost flight was last known to be following an early radio navigation beacon bearing on a course passing through Howland Island (her intended destination) and Nikumaroro (Gardner Island).
  • It is not known for certain if Earhart was "on the beam" southeast or northwest of Howland Island; if she was northwest of Howland Island, she would have been heading to Siberia.
  • Landfall of the northwest Nikumaroro-Howland Island navigation beam would have been the northern Dzhugdzhur Mountains.

Expedition Amelia, Nat Geo Channel, 2019.

“To the north, the first landfall is Siberia,” says Gillespie. , "Amelia Earhart case leaps to life in diary", Los Angeles Time, APRIL 1, 2007.
