The 1992 Summer Olympics basketball "Dream Team" was the first Olympic team that included professional players and marked the start of the United States' dominance in Olympic basketball. The team's most notable members were Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird: widely considered three of the greatest players of all time. Joining them were all-stars in their own right David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Christian Laettner, Clyde Drexler, and Chris Mullin. 

The Dream Team's first game in the Olympics was against Angola which they won by a huge 68-point margin. The team went out to defeat Croatia, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Lithuania. The gold medal game was a rematch with Croatia, which—though more competitive than their match up in first round—the Dream Team won handily 117-85.

The saying seen here became a popular bumper sticker slogan in 1979 when nationally renowned art-furniture maker Ed Zucca printed up the first 100 stickers. According to a 2000 article in the Baltimore Sun, Zucca felt that TV was “transforming humanity into some kind of monster” so he advocated killing it before it killed you. 

After the first batch of stickers ran out, fellow woodworker G. Leslie Sweetnam took up the cause and went to progressive printers Donnelly/Colt to make more. The slogan has been printed on posters, stickers, buttons, T-shirts and coffee mugs.

In 1917, cartoonist Sidney Smith created a comic strip, The Gumps, for the Chicago Tribune. Smith reached a wide audience by telling tales of everyday American life through the eyes of a middle-class couple, Andy and Minerva Gump. While complaining to his wife, Minerva, Andy would exclaim “Oh Min!” 

The Gumps was the first comic to portray real social issues, such as pandemics, finances, and relationships. The readers were invested in the love stories, adventures, and deaths experienced by the comic’s characters. The Gumps was the first syndicated comic, and the first to depict a character’s death.

It's not just women who are active in the fight for gender equality. Men regularly participate in political activism as allies for women’s rights and feminist causes and pro-feminist men take part in anti-violence campaigns that challenge the patriarchy. As allies, these male supporters believe in the safety and freedom from gendered and sexual violence for all women.

The franchise began in 1919 and was known as the Decatur Staleys until 1922 when the team changed its name to the Chicago Bears. The Bears are considered one of the most successful football franchises with eight NFL championships and one Super Bowl win.

Science is sometimes referenced as a hybrid between poetry and logic or intuition and mathematics. When creating definitions, principles, or laws they become statements of observed patterns that are put into words and equations. Poets exploit the flexibility of language to create new impressions that stretch the limits of words. Physicists who practice science may sometimes find themselves in similar situations. A physicist must prevent the flexibility of words from causing confusion. Owing to the important relationship between physics and poetry, the Society of Physics Students (SPS) used to distribute a lapel button that declared “PHYSICS IS THE POETRY OF NATURE”.

Dogma, meanwhile, refers to the doctrine laid down by an authoritative body like a church. This is a humorous intellectual spin, then, on an unfortunate automobile accident, highlighting the power of the individual against the system.
