Life's Stranger than Fiction
They also say, life is stranger than fiction. And really, could anybody have created this? I was really shocked to have found this .
Now it's your turn to get bewildered, and maybe search for information to check it.
I admit it, I didn't . But even if half of this is true, it's still mind-blowing.
Just summing up:
Try to find interesting parallels and correlations in your blogs and selling texts. It captures imagination, as you see.

Good Morning Vera,
That was a interesting post. Real life can be a lot more exciting than fiction. I wonder if there is a meaning behind it.
The north of Europe has storm Ana, how about where you live?
Here strong winds and rain, in the north of Spain they are on alert.
Greetings from a cooler south, Taetske
Oh dear, just pray for safety and peace for you there. We are having quite bad weather here, too. Rain, winds, the grey sky...Snow is certainly better.
Have a good day!:)
I love the point you made here. Just in case you really were wondering, all the information in that piece is correct. I took an advance American History class at a local community college and this piece you found here was discussed in great detail.
The professor was fascinated by the strange coincidences that occur in our history, so he really ran with this one. i didn't get to take the second class in the series. I often consider seeing if he is still teaching it and going back just for that course.
The coincidences in world religions have always fascinated me, too. I had to drop the comparative religion course that year because of a lack of childcare, but that is another class I would take for the same reason.
Thank you so much,Anita.I of course was interested.You must have had great classes. Worth opting for them again if you have a chance.:-)
Good Morning Anita,
I personally think that all religions are basically the same.
Be good and do not harm others. It is the people, who over centuries have made the differences and that is where the problem lies.
Wild weather outside, storm Ana, only a little bit, is also visiting the south.
Hi, Vera! Thank you very much for sharing! And thank you Anita for confirming the info! :) Very interesting! :)
Yes coincidences pop up everywhere. How is it that the Japanese and other cultures have devil figures predating the Christian Satan? Was there an alien race of demons globally at one time?
It's just a matter of what times the classes are and how much they cost now. I sure want to take them!
Thanks, Anita
It is really encouraging to see this wild set of historical facts and to hear that you got this all in a course on American history! I finished high school with a love for historical biography due to my reading, but a disgust for American History due to poor teachers and bland texts. The tendency for public school texts to be dumbed down, diluted and castrated due to politics and a seeming need for it among the closed minded really butchers history.
I did take ancient history at University, and I loved it, because my Prof. loved it and taught it beautifully. Nobody was looking over his shoulder to edit, censor or second guess his work. There is no substitute for the writer or teacher with passion for the subject - that is how these crazy situations get revealed and communicated.
Thanks for sharing, and for your teacher, Anita, and thanks for Vera. Passion is something we all need more of. What's the point of living life in blinders and earmuffs?
Yep, absolutely, Steve. Everything in this life is about passion.Doing any work, teaching especially.
There was reputed to be an American Indian curse in the 1800's that an American president would die in office every 20 years in an even numbered decade. Lincoln 1860,s, Harding I believe it was 1880's McKinley 1903 Wilson 1920's Roosevelt 1945 Kennedy 1963. The chain was broken by the aborted assassination of Reagan at the HUD building in DC in 1981.Bush 1 & 2 made it through the 2000's unscathed!
I expect there were many curses by the original residents of this continent, but this one sounds a bit more contrived. Seems to me the Dutch, French, Spanish and English invaders that brought plague and conquest to the Americas in the 15th through 17th centuries deserved the strongest curses. If any Presidents Should have been cursed, I'd expect Jackson and Van Buren would be in the front of the line for the forced removals (trail of tears) over 25 years before Lincoln came to office.
I think the Native American tribes were more practical than such a curse - I suspect if they had the power they would have deployed it in a more self-serving way...
I'm just sayin...
I think history of any country is sure full of dramatic events, but such fantastic coincidences - it's just something supernatural.Anita(see below) proves all these are true.:)
Good Morning Mike,
A small price for all the misery that was caused. I wonder who will be the next.
Strong winds and rain, up north they are on alert, Ana has arrived.
Greetings from a cooler south, Taetske
Yep. But what will we know now with this indelicate attitude to history? It's being reconsidered till now.
