You can't say that Germany is not prepared for the next time it snows. This mountain is 400,000 tons of salt. Bring on the ice!
This week's free wallpaper is a beautiful spring scene just for you.
Yes it's May and yes, it snowed in Denver the other day. Live it up!
You don't see homemade vehicles like we used to. This one is a humdinger, boy!
I find it amazing that there were people alive in 1903 and 1969, people whose lifespans included the first airplane flight and men landing on the moon. Just 66 years apart!
I love munching on a raw carrot, and I recently found out they weren't always orange! Dutch farmers in the 16th and 17th century practiced selective breeding. They had white ones and red ones and yellow ones and even purplish carrots, and those farmers cultivated yellow and red ones to create orange carrots, which were considered sweeter, less bitter in taste, and also saluted William of Orange in his fight for Dutch independence.
Look closely - you'll see little red marks on this Egyptian tablet from 4,000 years ago. This is a school tablet and some scholar made lots of Egyptian errors. The red marks were made by the teacher, making corrections.
The warriors among us have always been resourceful...well, mostly. This attempt at making a fake tree to hide a soldier in France in 1918 was not all that great.
Someone somewhere ran one of those contests, an election to see which US state has the best flag. I have said this since I was a barefoot boy with cheek of tan: It's Maryland!
