    Happy Halloween! Here’s a funny vacuum story for you!

    About 20 years ago, my wife used a 20 year old Rainbow vacuum. If you’re unfamiliar with Rainbows, they are water based. The motor sits atop a tank of water and the vacuumed dirt gets jetted into the water. The tank needs to be dumped and cleaned after every vacuuming. A gross job getting rid of five pounds of mud, but worth it because of how well a Rainbow cleans.

    One day, a Kirby vacuum salesman came over to demonstrate what he said was the most powerful vacuum available at the time. So we let him in to see how a Kirby stacked up against our Rainbow on a deep pile carpet. His Kirby was an upright with a bag, and the hose could detach from the head to do upholstery. He also had a special attachment on the head that could accept 4" round filters for the demo.

    For the first test, he spread dirt all over our carpet and had the Rainbow vacuum it up. Of course the Rainbow water was filthy. He then put a demo filter into his Kirby and told us that our vacuum couldn’t pick up all the dirt and that the Kirby would show what was left behind. After vacuuming the carpet, he was astonished to see that the filter was clean! He tried three more times with the same result, and with the last time he ran the vacuum over the spot for a good minute. He mumbled something about never having seen that before.

    The second test was a reverse of the first where he spread the dirt around again and had the Kirby suck it up first followed by the Rainbow. He told us that we wouldn’t pick up anything because the Kirby got it all. So after a fresh water change, the Rainbow sucked up lots of dirt and the water was filthy from all the dirt the Kirby missed. The salesman was now getting nervous and was having trouble sticking to his script.

    The third and final test was to put the Kirby’s and Rainbow’s hoses together with a piece of stiff cardboard between them to show which vacuum had the strongest suction. When he pulled th

    Too many fingers spoils the Mona Lisa eh? Mickey Mouse is scary enough without 60 ears, and even worse with octopus fingers!

    Anyone else notice how the Mona Lisa’s eyes are also askew in the second panel, much like Elvis and Puck’s?

    I am so out of the loop. I keep hearing about AI doing all these things but I think I’d have better luck learning to read Japanese than trying to understand this. I’m a millennial but I feel old. :(

    AI does get a bit mixed up when it comes to fingers.
