cool! Year view is interesting. You can see all the covers of US Time Magazine.
I've seen better history outlines, though.
http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html is amazing.
http://www.historymole.com/ is ok, but limits the number of queries
for free per day

That is pretty amazing. The colour limiter is fun, too. Say look at
Salvidore Dali paintings, then select blue. Would help with the 'pink
bits' searching. Then I applied it to the Shopping category. If this
system is implemented fully, shopping would be a great use for
someone who needs some piece of clothing in a particular color. I
found an anomaly, though, when I looked at evening gowns and asked
for black. A pink dress showed up because the image was mostly black
background.
With art works and some photographs, of course, they aren't
'similar', so if anyone wanted to find a google indexed version of
ones artwork, they could use this tool to do so.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
