Help me remember a poem
It’s about men and women. The bulk of the poem is about how men and women are basically incompatible, then the last line is something like “the cars drive by, each one containing a man and a woman”. I read it years ago, so it’s not new. Thanks!

Does anyone remember this video?
In middle school, before being given the hepatitis B vaccine, we were shown a music video about it. I remember the chorus being “Get the facts! Get the vax! Get the facts! Get the vax!“
I would love to see it again.

This article details a method to determine the year from a patent number, but then falls back to snail-mail enquiries for more info.
