Gods, goddesses, fairies, and other mythical creatures aren't just the stuff of religious stories. In the early days of modern advertising, they invaded magazines and billboards too, hocking everything from electricity to gasoline. Did you know there's a god of batteries?

An emotional tribute has been paid today in South Korea to remember the New Zealand men who died in battle.
Kiwi veterans and Prime Minister John Key took a three-hour bullet train from Seoul to Busan to lay poppies for their comrades who died in the Korean War.
Of the 45 New Zealand troops killed in the Korean War, 34 are buried here.
For Jim Nielson, the visit to the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan was personal. He told ONE News Deputy Political Editor Jesica Mutch, who is in South Korea with the group, that his best friend, Len Murray, who was just 23 when he died, is buried there.
Originally 11,000 soldiers were buried at the memorial cemetery, but over the years countries like Greece and Thailand have chosen to repatriate their fallen troops. New Zealand and Australia have chosen to keep their soldiers buried in Korea.
Now around 2300 graves remain, with soldiers from 11 countries. Today those men were described as freedom warriors.
During the memorial service today there was a special Kiwi tribute, with a Maori call.
Mr Key reminded those gathered why New Zealanders made the ultimate sacrifice.
"Their efforts made it possible for the people of the Republic of Korea to enjoy the freedoms and quality of life they have today," he said.
The commemorations mark 60 years since the ceasing of hostilities in the Korean War.
The veterans, who arrived on Wednesday night have been taking part in commemorations and have visited the demilitarised zone, but today's trip will have taken them into areas they were more likely to have fought in.
New Zealand was one of the first countries to answer a UN call to assist South Korea, following a surprise attack by China-backed North Korea in 1950. Around 6000 Kiwi troops took part in the war between 1950 and 1953.
This week's trip coincides with ceremonies to mark 60 years since the two sides signed an armistice, with the Korean Peninsula still technically in a state of war.
Meanwhile, Key this morning declined to offer any further comment on an incident which took place after he took part in an official ceremony to mark the armistice at the Nation War Memorial in Seoul.
A man drove a vehicle, which had pictures or signs of John Key's name taped to the windows, into the back of a bus near where the ceremony took place.
There have been reports that the man's vehicle was packed with gas canisters, however footage of the incident on Korean television made no mention of this.
The ceremony had high levels of security. At least eight members of the New Zealand media were inside the security cordon at the time, however none noticed it was taking place until eye witness accounts emerged. Security forces gave no indication that there was a risk of explosion and there was no sign that anyone was evacuated.
Mr Key revealed yesterday that the man behind the attack was a disgruntled investor, who about a month ago staged a silent, peaceful protest outside the New Zealand Embassy in Seoul.

She saves money by price matching & using coupons.?She does not shop like a
?normal shopper?,??since her freezers & pantry are both well stocked.
This allows her to only shop for items on sale, fresh produce & fresh dairy on a weekly basis.
Her grocery budget is $60 per week.? Any money left over is saved for the following week or used to buy produce from the Farmer?s Market.
She also has a garden that helps her save money on fresh vegetables.
Today?s trip would have been $60.71 but only cost her $41.29 plus tax after coupons & price matching.
She saved $19.42!!

The app on Frank Schaffer?s iPhone offers a series of bar graphs and percentages, breaking down the current and past energy usage statistics from all over his house.
?Every single circuit in the house has a monitoring system to it,? Schaffer said. ?I can monitor and calculate all of our costs right here for the past day, or past week. We have three kids. If they were to leave the fridge door open, the parameters can be set so that it sends us a text alert so we know something?s going on.?
In terms of energy efficiency, the future is here and it?s at 2215 W. 27th St. The 2,200-square-foot residence ? billed as Joplin?s first reproducible green home ? was opened for private tours on Friday, and will be showcased during an open house and block party from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
Schaffer, president of F.E. Schaffer Construction, built the home utilizing the most up-to-date efficiency technology. From the AC unit and tankless water system to the hydronic furnace and plumbing system, everything has been designed to lower utility costs by making a much smaller energy footprint.
The former house on the property belonged to Schaffer?s mother, and it was destroyed in the 2011 tornado.
?We lived at 27th and Pearl and we lost our house, too,? he said. ?When she moved to Springfield, we bought the lot, but we weren?t sure what we were going to do with it. We were so busy that first year and a half after the tornado helping out, rebuilding other homes and running a business. But there was a lot of time to think about what we wanted to do.?
During that time, Schaffer said he became infatuated with the concept of energy efficiency and what could be done to bring electric costs down.
Partnering with Missouri Gas Energy and a number of other organizations, he built a home that captures the triple crown when it comes to efficiency. It has been certified as an Energy Star partner through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program, received LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification, and a nod from the National Association of Home Builders? Green program.
One of the key components to the home?s success is the thermal enclosure system.
?If it weren?t raining, you could walk around the house and notice that there are no foundation vents,? Schaffer said. ?From the outside in, everything gets sealed.?
Then, there?s the two and a half ton HVAC system, and the hydronic furnace that taps into the tankless water heaters to heat the home.
While outfitting a home with top-of-the line technology does require a significant up-front investment, it?s one that eventually will pay for itself. The proof, Schaffer said, is in the bills.
?Last month, we were still constructing the house and we were in and out, in and out,? said Schaffer. ?The AC was running pretty much non-stop at 65 degrees to pull the humidity out of the house. Our bill was just $51.90.?
All of this is music to Catherine Hart?s ears.
Hart, the general manager of GreenTown Joplin, has been in Joplin since August 2011 to help educate city officials, private individuals and business owners about energy efficient and sustainable construction and think long-term when it comes to building.
?I am thrilled,? she said, during a private tour of the home on Friday. ?I know how much research, thought and intention went into this. To see it open, I?m so happy for (Schaffer) and the community.
?I hope that it can help demystify green building for people. This is just one of the many types of green homes that Joplin has, but it shows that a normal-looking house can be energy efficient. This is a home for the future. It incorporates a lot of the bells and whistles we?re going to see in homes down the road.?
Bob Painter, the manager of energy efficiency programs for MGE, said Schaffer?s home serves as the perfect showcase for what is possible.
He said that interest in energy efficiency was slow to evolve after the tornado, even though the utility was offering rebates as an incentive to those willing to rebuild with it in mind. After talking to other builders, he was connected with Schaffer and they decided to design the home around the tankless water system.
MGE is using Schaffer?s home as a case study, showcasing its energy-saving features in detail at www.energyefficiencyfortomorrow.com.
?We want to use the home as a teaching tool for how to build effectively,? Painter said. ?A lot of time, when you hear ?green home? you think it has to have solar. But this house doesn?t need solar because the envelope is so tight.
?I?m glad it?s here and where it is (in the tornado zone). It?s not a mega-home. It has plenty of space, but it?s on a smaller footprint. It?s a little on the upscale, but people can build a house like this affordably.?
