Get Cynical

Take the quiz and see if you know art from ordinary items. I only got 8 out of 16.

A cool site documenting the presidents’ medical histories including W:

On January 13, 2002, Bush lost consciousness while sitting on a couch in the White House, watching a football game. His head hit the floor, resulting in an abrasion on his left cheekbone and a small bruise on his lower lip. The incident was blamed on a combination of (a) Bush not feeling well in previous days, and (b) an improperly eaten pretzel. Their combined effect was to slow the President’s heart. (The description suggests a vaso-vagal attack.) The period of unconsciousness was brief [12].

If you are love history you will love this site. Read eyewitness accounts of historic events such as this one from the Battle of Gettysburg:

“As we stood upon those mighty bowlders, and looked down into the chasms between, we beheld the dead lying there just as they had fallen during the struggle. From the summit of Little Round Top, surrounded by the wrecks of battle, we gazed upon the valley of death beneath. The view there spread out before us was terrible to contemplate! It was an awful spectacle! Dead soldiers, bloated horses, shattered cannon and caissons, thousands of small arms. In fact everything belonging to army equipments, was there in one confused and indescribable mass.”

I am not sure if it is a joke or not but it certainly is scary:

This website came to life in May 2000. I am the sole creator of everything you see on the site and believe I have created the most extravagant personal ad in the history of civilization.

Hurry up ladies. I am sure Jesus will be snatched up quickly!
