    By Abdul Alhazred on November 27, 2019 October 29

    A Brief History Since its debut on October 29, 2003, it has become one of the best-known and most-played video game series of all time. It has prompted divides between children who want to play it and parents who will not let them, and it is diverted the attention of players away from their spouses to such an extent that it has been cited in divorce papers, but how much do you really know about the all-conquering Call of Duty franchise? We’re not talking about the best defensive positions to take on a map, or the fastest way to progress…

    By Major Dan on October 29, 2018 Animals/Pets, October 29

    A Brief History On October 29, 2018, Americans celebrate National Cat Day, or at least some Americans do.  Those with bumper stickers that say “Cats, the Other White Meat” probably pass on the opportunity to regale themselves in cat trivia.  If you are one of these anti-cat people (“I Like Cats, They’re Delicious” bumper sticker), pass this article up and wait for National Dachshund Day or something!  (For the record, we are “Dog people,” not “Cat people,” though we do see the brighter side of having cats around.)  Feel free to take exception to any of our reasons to love…

Digging Deeper 1. Anti-ship mines. As noted above, the former Italian battleship, Giulio Cesare, renamed by the Soviet Union the Novorossiysk after the USSR…
