A nice look at the best (American) magazine covers from the last 40 years. They range from the serious to the hysterical, from the inspiring to the just plain bizarre. Pop culture, sport, business, it’s all here.
Sadly, they did have all top 40 online yesterday, but now they’ve only got the top five. Still interesting stuff though…

It’s been far, far too long, I know…
I love this one. The magnificent Wikipedia has a new reference, listing all the made-up words that have been used in The Simpsons. My personal favourite (one that I used for years, *then* realised that I’d pulled from the Simpsons):
Shazbot
A curse term used by space aliens Kang and Kodos in episode “Treehouse of Horror VI.” This one is not made up on The Simpsons. It is a reference to Mork and Mindy where it was originally used by Mork (played by Robin Williams) for the same effect. Also referenced in the video game Starsiege Tribes for identical effect.
So naturally, it didn’t come from The Simpsons either 
There’s more cromulent goodness in the link…
