Today’s Thoughts
I hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day.
I didn’t watch the Oscars last night. I hadn‘t seen any of the movies.
The highlights I’ve seen on social media are good, but I didn’t miss much.
The power grid in Cuba has completely collapsed. The only electricity is
from personal generators, and not that many people have one. I am not a fan of the
Cuban government, but I do care about the people of the island. The current
American administration talks about controlling this hemisphere. Sadly, I don’t
see the US helping the people of Cuba now or in the near future. There must be
a way to offer the Cuban people a helping hand.
Real Hoaxes
In 1936, a shiny brass plate
found in California seemed to confirm that explorer Sir Francis Drake had
landed there in 1579. Historians called it a priceless relic.
For decades, the plate was
displayed proudly, until metallurgical tests in 1977 proved it was modern.
It had been made as a practical joke among historians that went too far.
**********
In 1969, rumors spread that Beatle Paul McCartney had died and been
secretly replaced by a double. Fans scoured album covers for "clues"
like hidden messages and backward songs.
Paul, very much alive, later joked about it. The bizarre theory became a lasting pop-culture phenomenon.
