Maniac Mansion - the flag in Weird Ed's Room

A flag makes an appearance in one of the cult classic of 80s video gaming history - Manic Mansion 1987 by Lucasarts.

This game combines writing, imagination, and mystery with puzzle solving. Hand eye coordination are not necessary but an ability to think at put things together and experiment is important.

Elements of 1950s B-movie horror shows are mixed and mashed with 80s hip culture. It's 80s meets 50s shaken with George Lucas Imagination topped with a dash of Happy Days sprinkle.

No doubt someday a well done Manic Mansion movie will come to life - but it has to be set in the 80s! Unlike Monster House it must be released in September or October! If they make a modern 20-TTG movie (2000 text tween generation) it will stink monkey poo soup.

World Ocean Flag for Earth - in honor of Earth Ocean Day

The world oceans is essentially a vertical tri-bar of blue, green, blue. Its design traces back to Wikipedian. The colours and pattern are a natural fit for a 'World Earth Ocean Flag' and it has a small scientific undertone. The colours blue and green represent the earth and oceans of the world. The yellow circle represents the sun surrounded by six stars which are a reflection of the 'six' continents. Additionally the circle with stars also represent the carbon atom which is an essential component in biological systems. The architect of the flag is a Wikipedian Vostok412.
