These formerly top secret and currently hilarious photos show East German agents of the Stasi, the notorious communist spy agency, trying on various disguises during the height of the Cold War. These clever disguises could enable an agent to slip unnoticed through 1970's Berlin. Or 2010's Brooklyn. They were into pretending to be someone they're not before it was cool.

NASA Run by Children

A 7-year-old named Julian found out the Spirit Mars rover was stuck, and sent this idea to fix it. NASA is so impressed that they're trying the idea and sending him an award for ingenuity. As if that weren't outrage enough, they're also naming the next rover “Curiosity,” on the suggestion of a sixth-grader. Awesome work, NASA.
