| Thursday Feb 24, 2005 | When wealthy plantation owner Julien Poydras died, he left legacies all over Louisiana, including money for a college and an orphanage. Though both of those are gone, he is still remembered for a peculiar endowment to the people of Pointe Coupee Parish. He originally emigrated to Louisiana because of a broken heart. The girl he loved could not marry him because her family had no money for a dowry. Upon his death, he gave a sum of money "[to] be given to all the girls ... who get the chance of being married, and those who are in pitiable circumstances shall always be given the preference." In addition to a recent NPR story, this appears to have inspired at least one film. to History by yoyology |

| When we think of Barbie, we don't think of shrimp, or Klaus. We don't think of the BDO or BLO. Yet Barbie clearly permeates our society, from knock-offs with attitude to sports marketing. People collect them, idolize them, hate them, burn them and more. Barbie is clearly the perfect cultural icon for the plastic values of America. to Culture by nucleus |
