The site in 2000: |
| December 2000 | + | Painted ads: We close the year with two most interesting murals: brilliantine Forvil-ForBRIL and Frigéavia the maker of Caravelles.

| + | We extend the site with a new section about
animals and how they are used in ads. We will evaluate the generic copy-writer by means of his knowledge about the animals shown. We'll try to understand why a species was used in a particular case. We will learn lots of things about many species by most people only known from hearsay. Read the Introduction to animals in ads Warning: Students should check the facts before presenting them in Zoology Class. |

| + | On the web counters as much as date-time displays abound.
Not so on this site; you should buy your own calendar. But I too have my weak spot and thus for all you web- stats craving some statistics. Don't expect me repeating that very soon.
