War of the Golden Stool, the first email spammer, doord, Mariner 1, Boston Corbett, a beach made of glass, and Endal the super dog

After a week of rough times, dear constant reader, I have finally gotten my final date of wearing the uniform, which will be May 20th. Expect lean posting to continue as I finish my days as and active-duty Marine.

Today, we will examine why we should all hate Gary Thuerk, the Glass Beach at Fort Bragg, a NASA disaster caused by a missing hyphen, a lexicographic typo that appeared in Webster's, a war between the British and the Ashantis over a stool, and the crazy life of the man who killed a presidential assassin.

The railplane, a town of one, Islamic sex therapist, the first porno, a computer you fixed by dropping, bee battle, and February 30th

Sorry for the lack of recent updates; this is a trend that will likely continue for the foreseeable future. I'm ramping up to go on terminal leave as my contract draws closer to expiration, and there are many things to do as I prepare to become a civilian again. On top of that, the date I can finally file for divorce approaches, and there is sudden doubt that this will actually occur. The patience of my only follower is needed as my personal life tumults.

Today, we will examine the career of Dr. Heba Kotb, Le Coucher de la Marie, the ill-designed Apple III, Monowi, Nebraska, the Battle of Tanga, February 30, and the Bennie Railplane.

Interstate 180, a secret nuclear test, MacQuariums, Space Shuttle rescue, and a naughty street name

Today, we will examine Gropecunt Lane, the Wyoming Interstate that isn't even a highway, the desecration of a Macintosh computer, the Vela Incident, and the Space Shuttle's Launch On Need missions.
