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.
