So. Popular perception of the D-Day Landings(73 years today) is that they were a foregone conclusion. Because they succeeded, the majority of people think that it was a done deal, and that it merely needed to be attempted and it would've worked.
This is not so.
Eisenhower was publicly...
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio lost his re-election bid. Thank ****ing Odin that scumbag is no longer in office.
That loathsome **** can no longer make a mockery of the American justice system. Good riddance you wretch.
So, @lovesong is too lazy to make this thread. Therefore it's up to me to do this.
There. Someone care to help me with this? I don't feel like dragging out my all the books I own for learning Hebrew to translate this.
So, we all know what a fossil is, right? For those who don't here's an extremely simplified explanation: It's not actually a bone, it's the "shadow" of a bone, where the..bone-ness...of it is replaced with inorganic minerals in its shape.
Got that? Good. Fossils aren't bones because of that...
This thread is SOLELY about the historical claims put forth by the Mormon branch of Christianity. Not what kind of person Smith was, not whether he was a prophet or a charlatan, not about whether Mormonism is 'really' Christian, not Mormon theology regarding blacks or polygamy, not their...
Nidhoggr, Malice-Biter!
Destined to survive Surtr's fire!
Sucker of the Roots of the World-Tree!
Gnawer of Souls who shan't be free'd!
Corpse-Shore you call Home
A kingdom of death & loam
Ratatosk scurries between your realm
Telling your deeds to the Eagle's Helm
Forever the Feud will go on...
So, a few weeks ago I showed you lie an experiment where e-coli evolved to eat something it flat-out CANNOT DO. Now, this article here isn't about evolution per-say, but what it is is further evidence that the "Kinds" notion is about as useful and relevant as a poopy-flavoured lolipop.
Behold...
Many Creationists claim that evolution requires "faith" because no one has observed it. Well, I have something for that. Professor Richard Lenski set up a 25 year experiment(the initial was 25, it's still going) using a controlled environment and e.coli bacteria. E.coli was used because they are...

Today is the 71st anniversary of Operation Overlord(The Normandy Landings, 'The Great Crusade'), the beginning of serious American involvement in the European Front(and finally opening a second front* to draw Wehrmacht forces away from the Ostfront) and the start of the...
I wasn't sure where to post this, so this will do.
The Telemark Battalion was sent by Norway to Afghanistan as part of the NATO mission. Why is this notable? Well, just watch;
The Old Gods are still with us. :D
As many have noticed, there are three separate subforums within the greater European-Pagan forum dedicated to Asatru, Norse & Heathenry. I, and quite a few others in the Feedback forum think that is counterproductive to the purpose of the forum, namely to discuss & educate others on both the...
This is something I honestly don't understand very well regarding the Muslim faith. Not the restrictions against depicting him, that's the whole 'Graven Images' thing. But at what point does something become a depiction of Mohammed? I am being serious. When does it become a picture or such of...
There is a lot of misconception regarding Nazi Germany, Hitler, and things related to it. While I certainly do not claim to know everything about the subjects, I do know a good deal, and seeing as how there have been quite a few times this has popped up lately, I would like to have a place where...
The story;
Delta lost and never found our dog Ty. Since losing our beloved family member, they have yet to provide us the report detailing what happened, admit to negligence, or help in our efforts to find Ty. We are calling on Delta to release their report to the Federal Aviation...
Father Martin Dolan comes out during Mass, receives applause from his flock.
The 'Jesus' I think of, whether he existed or not, I think would be proud of this man of the cloth. Pope Francis seems to have done something to the Roman Church. Someone who can walk the walk & talk the talk. And it...
I shall first give warning. This gets dark. Not in the '2edgy4u' way, but in the sense that I examine the very real effects of radiation exposure & sickness, as well as the effects of large-scale combat in urban centers. It takes place in an alternate history where WW2 went differently. This is...
There has as of late, been a rash of threads relating to socio and psychopathy. These are not medical terms, the proper being anti-social personality disorder. I grow tired of correcting individual misconceptions, so here is a place for the curious to ask. I will however note that I am a...
I have noticed that some people new to the notion of Asatru, Heathenry and Norse myth, whatever your favorite term is(I'll use Germanic for the remainder of this) have a problem learning the Eddas and tales of the Viking Heroes and the Gods they championed. So. I thought I'd help. There is a lot...
I joined here a long time ago. So where have I been? Health problems, mostly. I discovered I've got scoliosis, Lymes disease and bone deterioration. I just haven't had time or energy. Oh. And I kinda forgot this place existed. My memory is terrible. But I should be returning more. But on the...
