Museum of Broadcast Communications

From the first televised presidential debates between Kennedy and Nixon to Neil Armstrong using his smartphone to check in at the moon, some of society's most formative moments are products of major advances in communication technology. In its collection of nearly 100,000 hours of digitized television and radio broadcasts and more than 1,800 artifacts—including the camera that broadcast the Kennedy-Nixon debate—the Museum of Broadcast Communications immortalizes the progression of media formats and their place in history. Besides historic newsreels and pivotal artifacts, the museum's curators have equally embraced the light-hearted side of communications, with collections of puppets and props from classic children's television shows and a compendium of television commercials dating back 60 years.

The Groupon Guide to: Disposing of Batteries

Not everyone is privileged enough to own a machine that mashes batteries into an edible, mostly nontoxic soup. If you're not one of the lucky few who owns that machine, use one of these methods to get rid of your batteries:

  • Roll them down a hill
  • Hit them with a baseball bat—they will go somewhere
  • Don't eat 'em, Don Chead-em (give them to Don Cheadle)
  • Feed them to the ocean
  • Do you know a guy named "Battery Bob"? He'll probably take them off your hands.
  • Make a "battery baby" and give it to a woman whose children are grown
  • Recycle?

How far can you hit a battery with a baseball bat?
