By Abdul Alhazred on February 23, 2020 Literature, Military

A Brief History Nowadays, it seems that World War 2 (WW2) is talked about all the time – so let us talk about it some more; however, the question I want to postulate is, why is World War 2 spoken about so often, so specifically? It is not as if WW2 is a SlotoCash Casino. World War 2 has a unique cultural hold for some reason that no other war really has. Perhaps it can be chalked up to how recent it was, although there have been several major wars since then and loads of civil wars going on right…

10 Greatest Stories about an Animal or Animals

By Major Dan on October 18, 2019 Animals/Pets, Cinema & TV, Lists, Literature, Nature, October 18

A Brief History On October 18, 1851, the Herman Melville classic, Moby Dick, was first published under its original or alternate title, The Whale. Not surprisingly, a particular enormous Sperm Whale, that happens to be white in color, is the star of the story, never mind the human drama that interferes with the exciting whale parts! People have often written books and stories about animals, whether those critters are loved pets, feared predators of humans, or just focusing on the animal as an individual persona. Some of the stories are scary, some sad, some fictional and some really happened. These…

Book Review, The Spook Skelly Crew

By Major Dan on September 10, 2019 Literature, September 10

A Brief History On September 10, 2019, we have the pleasure of reviewing a children’s book for our readers, one themed toward our favorite holiday, Halloween!
