I love the one of Einstein's desk. I feel so validated in how mine usually ends up....

But really, they're all really

Good stuff!

Here's a photograph a what is believed to be Crazy Horse, significant in the fact that there was thought to be no known photo of the legendary warrior.

Interestingly enough is that Custer Battlefield Museum accepts it as authentic.

That King Tut pic turns me back into a child every time I see it. Can you imagine the excitement of finding that tomb and all the treasures within it?!?

That's the British Long Range Desert Group. They worked with SAS sometimes but were not part of the SAS. In fact, most of them came as volunteers from the 2nd New Zealand Division.
