About me
I'm a college student, working on eventually getting a Ph.D in Medieval History (and as much of the lit as I can!!!). It's not nearly as boring or dry as you think. Medieval people were awesome.
Why I use Clipmarks
So much information, so little time.

 I got stuck on wikipedia reading about folklore, and I had to make a clip of will o' wisp pictures. Other than the first one, the quality wasn't quite what I wanted, but here it is anyway.

 I guess this is what's called poetic justice. Of course it happened so long ago, who knows if it actually happened.

 Kinda pokes a hole in the theory that societies evolve in a way that widens connections to far away areas...or it could just be the economy.

Finally, evidence that proves the existence of the yeti?

 There are too many reports, with too many consistencies, of yeti/bigfoot for the animal not to exist.

 Actually, in my experience the paper trail is MUCH more reliable and easier to use, if you have the resources to follow it where it takes you.

 I love mythology, and this list was just too good not to share. I've heard of some (especially the higher numbers) but there were quite a few new ones on the list for me, which is always exciting.

 As a historian, I am only shocked that he sold the letters. Though historians are notoriously underpaid considering the amount of time and money they put into their education.

 An online virus scanner should never be considered a substitute for an installed antivirus scanner. But if you suspect your installed antivirus is missing a threat or you simply want a second opinion, an online scanner can be a valuable adjunct to security. Each of the following online scanners are considered best-of-breed

Indian "Honor" Killing
ramsesemerson
by ramsesemerson  5-18-2008    4
 At the risk of sounding like Bones, I understand, anthropologically, why it was forbidden in the past for people of a village to marry, and it even may be a valid action now ( I live in a town of less than 500 people, and trust me, almost everyone is related), but the murder was, I think, wrong. There should be limits to tradition.

Mysterious people
Aribeth

 who appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, UK, in the 12th century. The children were brother and sister and they had green colored skin. Their appearance was normal in all other areas. They spoke an unrecognized language and refused to eat anything other than pitch from bean pods. Eventually their skin lost its green color. When they learned English they explained that they were from the ‘Land of St Martin’ which was a dark place because the sun never rose far above the horizon. They claimed that they were tending their father’s herd and followed a river of light when they heard the sounds of bells - finding themselves in Woolpit.Some of the more unusual theories proposed for the origin of the children are that they were Hollow Earth children, parallel dimension children, or Extraterrestrial children.
