In Canada, the national Conservative Party was decimated in the ’93 election, and another right-wing party (the Reform Party) became popular. This was the start of the Alberta-centric federal movement (Canadian …

How to be a successful psychic – Delanceyplace

larrinski — Fri, 06 May 2016 16:23:43 +0000

I have always been a skeptic. Well, maybe not always, but as far back as I can remember. In fact, one of the beliefs that gnawed at me from a young age was that of god. I just didn’t buy the story. My mom had a bible in the kitchen miscellaneous (junk) drawer that she never read, …

“The scientifically correct plural [of octopus] is not octopi, [but octopuses] … (it turns out you can’t put a Latin ending — i — on a word derived from Greek, such as octopus). … Here is an animal with venom like a snake, a beak like a parrot, and ink like an old-fashioned pen. It can …
