30 Ways to Die of Electrocution
"Here are 30 illustrations from the book Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern. These diagrams outline causes of electrical accidents." From bre pettis' Flickr. (Blog). And, no, it's no joke. It's from a 1931 illustrated German or Austrian book on electric safety.

The top two (EP) covers, made by Ulf Gustafsson, were found at LP Cover Lover and the bottom one at Farbror Sid.

Magazine Cover: FART
Yep, that's kind of funny. Fart, though, means speed in Swedish. This is a motor magazine from 1963 and the cover shows a Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, '63 in front of a Pan Am Boeing and of course in the car a couple of happy stewardesses.
The cover and the info came from motorman GrandPrix63! Pay him a visit.
