13. In 1964, Hippie author Ken Kesey painted this old school bus in psychedelic colors and patterns, loaded it with his "merry pranksters" and took off from California to visit Timothy Leary in upstate New York.

17. It all began around 1963, when Quaker Oats hired animator Jay ward (of Rocky & Bullwinkle) to help advertise a new sugar-crusted cereal called Cap'n Crunch. His commercials resulted in the cereal being a huge success, so they brought him back to hawk two competing cereals ...... one had a cross-eyed pink spaceman mascot with a "Q" on his belt buckle, and the other cereal's mascot was a big-jawed miner with huge biceps.............
