Just in case Libby’s comment on North Korea’s missile launch intrigued you…in case it sparked a distant memory or two…in case you were once a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle, as I was…a little walk down memory lane:
** The machine was constructed by Mr. Peabody, a professorial, bow tie-wearing dog, to be able to visit famous historical events. At the request of Mr. Peabody, Sherman, Peabody’s “pet boy” assistant, would set the WABAC machine to a time and place of historical importance, and the two would be instantly transported there. The machine apparently later returned Mr. Peabody and Sherman to the present, although the return trip was never shown in the cartoon segment. The machine was little more than a plot device to allow the characters to visit the past. – Wikipedia **
