"Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954. The song describes what Guthrie felt were the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump, father of Donald Trump. In January 2016, Will Kaufman, a Guthrie scholar and professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, unearthed the handwritten lyrics while conducting research at the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There are no known Guthrie recordings of this song. Others, including this singer, Jimmy Kelly, in video, have recorded this song. Did you know about this song?

There is a giant cloud of alcohol in outer space. It's in a region known as W3(OH), only about 6500 light years away. Unfortunately it is methyl alcohol (commonly known as wood alcohol, though this stuff is not derived from wood), so it isn't suitable for drinking. There is some ethyl alcohol (the drinkable kind) there as well, but it's not nearly as common. Are you fascinated with what probably does exist in outer space?

Designed to counterbalance the glamorous Barbie, Little Miss No-Name, launched in 1965, only was sold for a few years. Designed by Deet D'Andrade, for Hasbro, Little Miss No-Name is said to have drawn inspiration from the paintings of American artist Margaret Keane, whose work featured large-eyed children. The impoverished doll came without shoes and dressed in a burlap sack with patches and a safety pin holding the outfit together. Did you ever own or even know about this doll?

Sergi Cadenas is a modern Spanish artist who is completely self-taught. His desire to experiment and discover new ways of creating, has led him to paint three-dimensional works on oil, which depending from which angle you look at, the image changes. This is especially interesting with his series on aging, as the subject ages as you move through the artwork. If you watched the video, do you find this technique...
