    Funny thing is ...as soon as I hear the expression ' total eclipse ' I have to think of a part of my childhood.. Many may remember the video game 'Tomb Raider -The Last Revelation' which came out in ' 99.. Man.. the story of this game had me fascinated back then .. For those who don 't...

    Total eclipse a-comin '

    I' m going to be honest and say, concerning Tasmin Archer 's thoughts on the moon landing... I always found it kind of ironic though that a black person has one of the most famous songs out there concerning the moon-space-travel of mankind .... Let' s face it, blacks ( "people of African...

    Kublai Khan -one of the most successful men of all time?

    The Asiatics, since old times , held on to many different religions... Before many 'organised religions ' came to being in Asia such as buddhism, the ancient Asiatics surely held on to shamanistic stuff et al . Buddhism came from India .. since India often in history was a multiracial...
