Quote I “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” Quote II “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Quote III “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” March 28, 1979 Three Mile Island Nuclear accident occurs. At 4 a.m. on March 28, 1979, the worst accident in the history of the U.S. nuclear power industry begins when a pressure valve in the Unit-2 reactor at Three Mile Island fails to close. Cooling water, contaminated with radiation, drained from the open valve into adjoining buildings, and the core began to dangerously overheat
Men are women. Women are men. Some men don't have a gender. Some women don't have a gender. Now rivers are people. That's right, rivers are people. Just days after New Zealand declared the Whanganui River a legal person, the world’s population of river people (not people who live on the river, but rivers who are people) tripled, when a court in India waved its judicial wand and transformed the Ganges and Yamuna rivers:
The United States has long been the global leader in resettling refugees, strictly defined as people forced to flee their home country to escape war, persecution or violence. Since October 2001, more than 895,000 refugees have settled here, typically after being referred by the United Nations and vetted by the State Department in a process that takes at least 18 months. (By comparison, a million or so legal immigrants arrive annually.)
A STUDY has shed light on the worst thing men can do in bed — and it seems women are united in hating this unattractive habit.
When Californian’s went to the polls this November to approve the legalization of marijuana for personal use, little did they realize it would morph into a battle between unions and business.

The most iconic product for each state. Is yours correct? Mine is.
Democratic U.S. senators are considering denying Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch a floor vote by filibustering his nomination. Yet it was only a few months ago that Senate Democrats declared anything less than an up-or-down vote on a Supreme Court nominee a failure to perform the Senate’s constitutional duty. In the 1500s The Catholic Church involved in the art/pron debate. I Modi (The Ways) is best known as The Sixteen Pleasures, an illustrated sex guide published by Marcantonio Raimondi in 1524. Based on paintings by Giulio Romano, The Sixteen Pleasures carries the proud boast of being the first work of pornography banned by the Catholic church. For his gross indecency, Raimondi was imprisoned by Pope Clement VII. All copies of the book were destroyed. Romano got away with it. And so began a long debate whether art and porn can ever be the same thing?
Jack London was no philosopher, nor did he aspire to be. In both fiction and nonfiction, he sought to observe the world around him closely and to describe what he observed accurately, concretely, and in detail. London’s devotion to close observation and to accurate description of the concrete informs his best fiction. In stories such as “To Build a Fire” and “War,” London shows us in detail the material world in which and of which we are. His observations of the material world also tell us about the psychological and emotional dimensions of his characters. The prophetic aspect of The Iron Heel is best understood as a result of the same materialistic habit of thought. By disciplined and relentless attention to detail, and a corresponding avoidance of intellectual abstractions, London could discern the shape of coming events. He needed neither a Christian God nor a Hegelian History to analyze the dynamics of his society. Do you think authors are perfect at grammar? Perfect spellers? F. Scott Fitzgerald, wasn't. F. Scott Fitzgerald was an amazing writer, but his spelling was, according to one of his editors, "lamentable."
