I find old film like this utterly fascinating. As many of us are not so far removed from our elder sunset years any more, I wonder how our brief life summaries on camera might look to people a century from now, as these from 1929 look to us here in the present. Of course so on and so on as the centu...

My wife came across this on Facebook, in the Knoxville Crime Watch of all places. As lifetime dog lovers and owners it made us both cry. I thought this would be the most appropriate forum to share it, powerful stuff. Katie Nicole Flowers February 27 at 11:00 AM You didn’t die alone today. I don’t kn...

You know I regularly contemplate what horrible practices used to be commonly acceptable (of course the examples are numerous), which today are seen as reprehensible to "modern" sensibilities, and then I scan our current practices for what may in future times be greatly frowned upon; quite ...

I like to answer good questions with further questioning: Would this be akin to asking our councils of trees in the forest, or our forbearers for example, why they don't/didn't "live" forever?

Well, to me anyway Max is doing a couple of different things here: on the one hand, and generally speaking, he is saying that beyond living history we can't believe a word about things we read or hear about history; but on the other hand he states as uncategorically true things like the Romans didn'...

Ole Max is a smart fellow, always interesting, and always asking the right questions. However, I think he tends get a little carried away at times by seeing rabbit holes that may well have perfectly logical explanations. For example: The Tartarians must have been breatharians because their structure...
