I dunno, she kinda looks like Alan Tudyk as an alien pretending to be her grandmother.

Give that coed ragged bangs and dark eyeliner, and she's fronting a Throwing Muses tribute band.

It was around 1994, a friend of a friend had a camera in his fridge pointed at a thermometer, broadcast publicly over the Internet entitled "What temperature is my Pepsi" and I was blown away by the tech. Netscape was truly a wonderful vehicle for discovering just about everything. That same friend was telling me about this online bookseller I needed to checkout. They really were doing the online market price right and I needed to get away from the university bookstore and look for my books on Amazon.

...and i ended my bookselling career in 1996. The industry was already groaning under the weight of Borders and Borg&Noble, and Amazon was the death blow. The few independents left standing were forced to add cafes and do community engagement stuff, neither of which appealed to me.

Seen at a listing somewhere west of Boston. The sign attachment can be bought on Etsy, but the Globe had some fun with it anyway.

Snopes
Is it real game footage? No, it’s a commercial for Gatorade sports drink:

Gatorade ended its association with the agency that created the ad, Element 79, shortly after the video was completed and shelved the campaign.
“We were not planning to release the ball girl video,” [Gatorade spokeswoman Jill] Kinney said. “However, now that it’s out there, we’re thrilled with the response it’s getting.”

Kinney said Gatorade doesn’t know who posted the video, and Element 79 said on its website that it had nothing to do with posting the video.

There is no mention of Gatorade in the video, though there is a bottle by the chair where the ball girl sits near the end of the clip. And Gatorade has clearly become associated with it, to the company’s delight.

(Although the above quote states that Gatorade “shelved” the campaign, the ball girl commercial aired during baseball’s 2008 All-Star Game.)
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Guinness was probably 62 or 63 in that shot... that's not too far off.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

That Lars is believable to me. Some people age differently. Say, young looking 27 to old looking 44.

(Quick research shows that the actors were 25 and 60.)

A galactic "year" -- the time it takes the sun to orbit the galactic center once -- is around 240,000,000 Earth years. This means that the dinosaurs lived on the other side of the galaxy.

I knew the galaxy slowly rotates (and will eventually collide with other galaxies) but never really contemplated the correlation in Earth years.

According to my calculations, the sun *could be* on it’s 57th trip around the galaxy.
Wow.

But of course our sun wasn’t there on day 1.

In fact it’s only been doing it for 19 cycles. Not 57.

So, Sol is a 19 year old.

"Slowly" is relative; the sun's booking right along at a brisk 450,000 mph.
