((PIC))) Is this Dennis Kucinich?
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 12:41 PM by blogslut
I saw this image on a http://gizmodo.com/5445907/remainders-+-the-good-bad-and-ugly-things-we-didnt-post-and-why/gallery">Gizmodo post. Then I found it on a http://blogs.discovery.com/guest_spot/historic_inventions">Discovery Channel blog post:



The photo credit on the Discovery site says the image is from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Neither site names Kucinich as the person in the pic but I think it's him.

EDIT: IMAGE FIXED

5. What the heck is he doing?
Shoving a small pipe up into a larger pipe?

Anyone have a guess?

I guess that's what he's doing, but every pneumatic tube system I've seen uses clear pipes.

Still looks weird IMO. :)

On edit: I guess I should have clicked the links.

Looks like the Dennis I was in class with at CWRU in 1972. But it certainly is him. nt

7. No, that's Jerry Mathers. He starred on a show called "Leave it To Beaver" back in
the 50s.

22. Oh, it's him, all right.
Probably demonstrating how to use pneumatic mail to bypass postal delivery during the Blizzards of '77 or '78.
