When I was little, we had a jigsaw puzzle with a picture of a canoer waking up in the morning and seeing a huge moose standing over him! It's odd what you remember. And we also had one where Beetle Bailey was supposed to be peeling potatoes but all he did was sculpt one into a likeness of Sarge's head! We also had a couple that made maps of Canada.
And we had this huge British jigsaw puzzle with a round shape. It showed half a dozen old English inns like the Trip to Jerusalem (the oldest in England) and the Tan Hill Inn (the highest in England).
You can do jigsaw puzzles online now. I have Asperger's Syndrome and someone said that people like me don't like jigsaw puzzles, but I don't mind them so much. It depends how much time you want to waste.
Ever see Terence Malick's movie The Tree of Life? It's about crazy inventor Brad Pitt and his family in the 1950s. Except that it's told in a really non-linear way--it begins with the creation of the earth! (I remember one scene with some merry kids following a truck spraying DDT in the neighbourhood.) Anyway, I was thinking that watching this movie is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing...
