Archeologists discovered a 3,550 year old fossil of a young boy near Stonehenge in 2005. Chemical analysis of the boy's tooth enamel showed that he likely grew up on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

With the worst economic "depression" of our history continuing to unfold, Government is paying lip service to the needs of America, and slapping some 20 million of our citizens who are unemployed across the face.
It seems that the Banks always come out on top, well maybe not all, but certainly that contingent on Wall Street. US Taxpayers have been misused and abused, their money taken without their agreement to prop up AIG and Wall Street in order that these mega banks could continue to foreclose.
One simple stand could have saved borrowers and forced the banks to think about their misdeeds, but Timothy Geithner, Obam

Mysterious stories about the supernatural have always been a source of enjoyment. That is why the literature of all countries is full of such tales.
A question may arise about why, when most of us are sure that ghosts don't exist, we fall prey to these stories. The answer is hidden in our own nature.

So we have built in an imaginary world of our own in which ghosts exist
Ghosts can be quite useful, as they may be used
