flashcard

This is a real flashcard to meant to teach very young children the alphabet. In a by-gone era the letter "A" used to be for APPLE, but not now. One more example that the Alien meme is oozing it's way deeper into our collective consciousness. I found this odd bit of pop-culture weirdness HERE, at this site.

    They are as commonplace as pirates, zombies, and ninjas. Pretty crazy really, totally a part of the cultural landscape.
