N D
When we designed the semaphore system for communications, we had no idea that one of our rouge scientists would use the letters N and D as a way of trying to convince the world that our Cold War Experiment (case no. 3276319). We quite enjoyed watching the American-USSR conflict play out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbols

Summer Camp, Hardened French Forces, and COG...
Well, it's been so busy around the facilities we haven't updated our user interface in quite some time! To make up for lost time, allow me to introduce a new concept. This article is a what we call "jumping off point" from which one can find many interesting things on the interweb. Our Chief Doomsday Advisor, Mr. Fredkins III, suggested this piece concerning the Continuity of Government; the various plans countries have to maintain their chain of command through a nuclear attack.
While it may seem dismal, the articles on Camp David and Raven Rock Mountain Complex are particularly intriguing for their ingenuity and resourcefulness. Enjoy!

"I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so......... INTRIGUED!!!
Never has a project designed to change the world worked as swimmingly or effectively as what was initially code named "Good Morning, Miss Bliss". First designed as a means to warm the hearts of Hair Chest lab technicians after a long and frosty hibernation, this excellent program was later re-purposed as a torture device, and lastly as a Saturday morning kids show.
This quite novel technology was then sold by the Hair Chest Trust to Westinghouse for the rental of three BH-2600 Electronic Latency Testers. In an amazing turn of events, Westinghouse then auctioned the patent to the National Broadcasting Company who quickly commenced production of what you may now know as "Saved by the Bell".
I must admit, I wasn't surprised that none of the information regarding the true origin of the show was actually present in this article. I'll have a good talk with Mr. Tartikoff when I get that old Holodeck up and running again. Anyhow, enjoy the article.

PCM Orcs
Early this morning the 3M QIC-11 Tape Drives containing the Whiskey Indigo Whisky 1-pedia storage began spinning randomly. Soon after, the Pulse Code Modulation Orcs tuned in and converted this information for your pleasure. Considering that this artifact is located relatively close to one of the Hair Chest Labs Inter-Dimensional Portals(copyright pending), we are considering going on a fieldtrip, if we can sneak past the floating Beholders that guard the entrances to the transport room.

Backdoor Mexican Sleigh Rides, or Television Pilots.
When walking the halls of our humble facility I often hear strange sounds, even after the Orcs are off duty and the pest prevention AutoPulse is at full amplitude. Sometimes I never figure out what it is, but most times it's the televisions.
Our "modern" television programming comes about by the use of "pilot" programs that give the network a chance to see what something will look like before they decide to broadcast it. This is more information about the often interesting and sometimes devious ways these things come about. Enjoy!

That's Hedley.....No, We Really Mean Hedy
We here at the Hair Chest Labs are always proud to celebrate inventors. Take for instance Hedy Lamarr, the actress, most famous to comedy lovers for having her name spoofed in Blazing Saddles. As a side project, she co-invented Code Division Multiple Access, giving birth to many Frequency Hopping technologies still in use in communications to this day, including Military Radio, Wi-Fi networks and Cell Phones. We like to think of her as an original mad scientist with a famous secret identity. Please enjoy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr
