Have you ever noticed how many things you interact with but can’t name? So did we. Key Takeaways The world is full of unassuming things that someone once had to name. These names come from a long history of craftsmen, mythology, and thoughtful observers. From aglets to vagitus, we discuss the history of nine such fascinating names. =================================================================== The world is full of things. So many things. It’s mind-boggling the number of things out there that we pay little to no attention to. For instance, even avid readers probably don’t stop to consider those tiny strips of cloth at the...

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — The author of “Little Women” may have been even more productive and sensational than previously thought. Max Chapnick, a postdoctoral teaching associate at Northeastern University, believes he found about 20 stories and poems written by Louisa May Alcott under her own name as well as pseudonyms for local newspapers in Massachusetts in the late 1850s and early 1860s. One of the pseudonyms is believed to be E. H. Gould, including a story about her house in Concord, Massachusetts, and a ghost story along the lines of the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol.” He also found...

I have no idea who put this together, but it is wonderful!! ======================================================= The Land That Made Me, Me Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me, For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born, Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn. We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since. We danced...

(Last Updated On: April 12, 2023) NATIONAL HAIKU POETRY DAY Observed annually on April 17, National Haiku Poetry Day encourages all to try their hand in creativity.

Credit: Public Domain The cosmogony Eureka, which Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) published the year before his death, anticipates modern science and cosmology.1 It describes a process that is now popularly known as the ‘Big Bang’ and the expanding universe. But it also contains ideas about the unity of space and time, the mathematical equality of matter and energy, the velocity of light and a rudimentary concept of relativity, black holes (including one at the center of our Milky Way), a "pulsating" universe that renews itself eternally, and other universes in other dimensions with different laws of nature. Contrary to the...

the night before voting ‘Twas the night before voting, when all through the land, Every voter was fretting and wringing their hands. Their clothing set out for the very next day But how would they vote? Not a person could say! So as they did toss, and they turned in their beds, Visions of voter fraud danced in their heads. And Mama with her Xanax, and I with Prozac, Had just settled down for a bedtime snack. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to...

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote The Three Kings poem in 1877. Sir John Stainer arranged a late medieval melody as The Golden Carol of Melchior, Casper and Balthazar (YouTube). Longfellow's poem has not previously been arranged with this overall melody. The poem seems long to modern audience, but comes in only at a little more than 6 minutes.The poem has been recorded several times, but it is sufficiently difficult that it seems most of the readers find it hard to catch the rhythm. THE THREE KINGS by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow — the classic Christmas poem The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth...

Taylor’s statements are sealing Trump’s fate, So poor Donald is rather irate; A quid pro quo feast — “Smoking gun” at the least. Donald Trump shall go down — I can’t wait!

The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake For King James's sake! If you won't give me one, I'll take two, The better for me, And the worse for you. A rope, a rope,...
