That reminds me of here, my small province, it's harvest time and you see small stands at the ends of lanes where farms are located. Offered for sale is honey, potatoes, corn, turnips, apples etc. often with just a box for the money, a sig

Oak Island is not that far from where I live, it's been pretty much stripped clean. This has been going on for decades. Farther north east over in Newfoundland is where the Vikings had a settlement and there are some clues up north; Labrad

Your own stem cells from your own body which may (can?) regenerate damaged parts of your body, and people are against this. Why are we allowing these people who are anti-science to control our governments, there can't be that many of them

There is a great explanation of why Sumerians use 60 but I can't find the link. In a nutshell the theory is: Sumerians counted each segment of their fingers using their thumb as a pointer (thumb segments were not counted) three segments pe

Hulu isn't blocked by Canada (we don't block it) they, Hulu, restrict it from their end in the USA. If you're interested in Net Neutrality this is what ruins it, divide and conquer by making people stop caring about the WWW and only about

I was watching a show about a computer system that monitors the Internet and other traditional media and shows what words and phrases (all languages) are rising through the chatter. It could have been for the NSA or Wall Street, I forget,

One thing I miss using Firefox over IE is the ability to move everything in the menu, bookmark, address bar onto one line to maximize screen space. With Firefox you can choose Customize but only drag items to and from its toolbar. Unless I
