5 Historical Despite The Odds Survival Stories

December 14, 2015 By Ralph Torres Leave a Comment

William Byrden is the protagonist of one of the 5 historical despite the odds survival stories, portrayed here by Lady Elizabeth Butler

In the comfy, technologically advanced Western world we take survival for granted. I mean, when’s the last time you were in doubt whether you’ll have enough water not to die of thirst? Or whether drinking the water you do have might kill you with its advanced civilization of bacteria thriving within? Or when’s the last time […]

5 Relatively New Religions

November 13, 2015 By Mary Lewis Leave a Comment

5 relatively new religions - Deism.

Just because there are some old and popular religions out there doesn’t mean that the quest to answer the unknowns that plague men and women’s hearts everywhere, and that have been doing so since the dawn of humanity, is over. Human beings have always tried to come up with explanations for their apparent and (so far) […]

Assassinated Presidents of the USA

November 10, 2015 By Ralph Torres Leave a Comment

Assassinated presidents of the US - Abraham Lincoln.

Ruling an entire nation is no easy feat. Especially when that nation is relatively recent, from a historical standpoint, and is composed of individuals coming from quite a few other nations, as was the case of the USA at its beginning. And when the form of government is a democracy, in which everyone is allowed […]

An adolescent looks eagerly up at the career counselor as he waits for her to begin.

After a few seconds of permuting the psychological components of the young man in front of her she […]

7 Lesser Known Einstein Tidbits

October 21, 2015 By Ralph Torres Leave a Comment

7 lesser known Einstein tidbits - his second wife was his cousin.

Yes, yes. Einstein was the smartest man alive. E = mc2. He was sorry for helping invent the nuclear bomb for the rest of his life. He failed Physics class when in school (or high-school, depending on the version). And all the other much paraded information about the great man that constantly gushes forth on […]

Proper Guilt-finding At The Salem Witch Trials

October 15, 2015 By Germaine Taylor Leave a Comment

The "Pressing" method of interrogation was used in the Salem witch trials.

Considering the proceedings at the erroneously called Salem Witch Trials, the erroneous part being the word trial, one would think that they took place, at the very least, at the end of the “proper” Middle Ages, just before the Renaissance started putting a bit of a rein on religious nonsense, or better still, in the […]

5 Famous People Slandered

October 7, 2015 By Germaine Taylor Leave a Comment

The list of 5 Famous People Slandered includes Elvis Presley

What sticks to a person harder than a super-glued overly-attached girlfriend/boyfriend? Slander. It takes years or a life-time of effort to build a reputation and only seconds to destroy it. Which is probably why inventing false rumors about one’s adversaries or falsely portraying them in a negative manner is such an effective and cheap way of […]

5 Old Beliefs That Turned Out Somewhat True

We tend to dismiss out ancestors’ believes as unfounded. And sure, most of them were. The Earth is not the center of the universe, drawing blood won’t help you cure cholera, sacrificing goats won’t make you rich and Santa Klaus doesn’t sneak into your house via your chimney. But there are still some ideas put forth […]
