How Scotland was Forced into Union with England

Let me make my point clear. I am not advocating that the UK hangs on to the pound yet forbids Scotland to do so, but that if independence happens, the currency splits into two, with the UK establishing a new pound [worth exactly the old one] and ...

Film Review of Kiss and Tell: Shirley Temple in 1945 War Time Comedy About a Sixteen Year Old

This sounds like a fun movie. I'd love to see teenagers romping about in 1945 :-) Pretty soon, I'll have time to watch all these Shirley Temple films. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. It's really a grand idea :)

Ngwayir (Pseudocheirus peregrinus occidentalis): Ringtail Possum of West Australia

Wow, I can't imagine when you have time to do all the research, but it's fun to learn about all these mammals. I love that they relocated this ringtail possum to that national park in SW Australia. Also love the way it eats carrots :)

An American owns Australia

10 More Celebrities Who You Might Not Know Have Single-Sided Hearing

I ummmed and arrred about including her, because her real life deafness was only temporary. But this does prove that not all unilateral deafness is permanent. I've had that happen, with people talking and I have no idea. I only guess after ...

10 More Celebrities Who You Might Not Know Have Single-Sided Hearing

That's interesting about Jennifer Lawrence. As soon as I saw her picture, I wondered whether it was going to be the actress or the character she plays. There is some irony there that it happened while filming one of the Hunger Games films. My ...
