Notes:
• Title devised by Library staff.
• Master of the "Impossible Possible," Houdini performs one of his stunning manacled jumps from Harvard Bridge, followed by an under-water escape in the Charles River. As with his upside-down straitjacket escapes, Houdini's jumps drew huge crowds and publicized his stage appearances. In 1908, he appeared in Boston for two weeks at Keith's theater, a major venue on the Keith Vaudeville Circuit.

Image made in response to March 3 MM theme, “Liquid Droplets.”
I knew this theme would be challenging, and I was right. I disliked my results and finally gave up in frustration; I'm posting this one image in the spirit of camaraderie.
MM-23R “Temare” Medium Combat Frame (Missile variant)
While designed as an anti-air variant of the Temare, the cluster missile pods it carries are equally effective at engaging ground targets. Most pilots forgo handheld weapons to minimize weight and increase jumpjet performance.
Equipment:
- 4 missile pods
- Quad jump jets
