History in the making: Spidey meets The Man of Steel —and Supes ain’t happy.

As two Geisha play harmonious music on their three-stringed sanshin, the other five take turns learning how to lasso and strangle a customer until he is rendered unconscious.
- GEISHA LEARNING HOW TO DEAL WITH DRUNK and ABUSIVE CUSTOMERS
On average, each Geisha House had to subdue at least 3 customers a week using this technique. Even the strongest male could be subdued in this manner by several Geisha working together. Once the noose was slipped over his head and around his neck, that pretty much spelled the end of his trouble making.
Chronic “gropers” (and even worse) were usually taken down in 10 seconds or less, and a few remain hospitalized for at least a week. In a Geisha House, TESTOSTERONE was NOT a man’s best friend.
Just remember this one thing : KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE GEISHA
Interesting.

Suprisingly, after going offline for some time, my tumblarity is still reasonable. LOL

This is beyond fantastic. The entire run of LIFE magazine as a weekly is now archived on Google Books. 1,860 full issues from 1936 to 1972.
Such an amazing resource of American culture, historic events, photography, and advertising. What might Don Draper think of some of these? Also, note how the AdWords change to fit the content of each page you read.

Pretty old, but still an interesting find.
Born in 1980 photographer and illustrator Agan Harahap from Jakarta, Indonesia, currently works for music magazine TRAX. His latest photography project called ‘Super Hero’ consists of memorable political and wartime scenes from the mid-20th century featuring beloved superheros like Spiderman or Batman in some interesting and funny positions – true juxtaposition in effect.
