Photographer Visits Famous Tourist Spots, Faces The Wrong Direction…

I found it kind of interesting. Going to famous landmarks, and looking the other direction. Unless you've been there, ya don't ever see what's behind the photographer.
Ah, this photographer and my wife indeed has something in common, whether I like it or not.

At this link you will find the 256 page, 63 MB, NASA Apollo 11 Press kit.

At the same location is the Apollo 11 Press Kits for 41 of the Apollo 11 contractors.

Such a wonderful part of history. Will check out both links. Thanks!

The FCC has a website that explains the different types of telephone scams and what they're called. They only list about 56 of them. :rolleyes:

This website examines the differences in land usage in EU countries between 1900 and 2010. You can zoom in if you like.

(Too busy; didn't visit: since 1900, changes in agriculture have meant that a smaller amount of land is needed to feed everyone. Forest land has taken over abandoned crop land, and with the increase in CO2, has taken off growing. People's concentration in urban areas has helped permit that to happen.)

That means they're using more Soylent Green supplement. ;)

I just spent the last way-too-damn-long on a thread about Words/Phrases Your Grandparents Used. Fun waste of time.

A very interesting analysis of why the Nazi War Machine was a myth. Why when they failed to subdue Russia and take over their resources for materials and production on the first try, Germany was doomed to failure. It gives the production numbers of the war materiels for the axis and allies.

The sexual adventures of the Smurfs. No pictures just text, but R rated I guess.

This guy is a pharmacist in Canada with a masters in molecular genetics.
His passion is dispelling myths and banishing pseudoscience, separating truth, lies, and what we don't know one way or the other yet, using text and home-drawn cartoons.

That's good stuff. Thanks.

I just read a very interesting article on this doctor, James DeLine, that works with the Amish (called The Plain People) in Wisconsin.

Quote:

Almost 200 diseases are found in much higher proportions among Plain People. Scientists have developed a special Amish genetics test that screens the blood for more than 120 of them.

DeLine has seen patients with more than 30 of the diseases on the test and has at least two patients with diseases never described in medicine.
It's a really interesting read. 10-15 minutes.
