The Forgotten Technology Could this be how the Pyramids were built? Perhaps the key to Coral Castle? A fun read, either way.

Death to all pitt bulls! Denver is taking any dog that looks like a pit bull away from its owners and euthanizing it. While I am horrified by the terrible mauling stories that are in the news, I have also known several pit bulls who were wonderful dogs, great fun to be around, and never once made me feel unsafe. more inside
