Photographs Debunked
Whether they depict ghosts, aliens, monsters or even time travellers, some argue that they are incontrovertible proof of all things otherworldly, whereas others view them as the result of tricks of the light, elaborate hoaxes, double exposures or even plain and simple photoshop.
The strength of these images is that they capture the imagination and make you wantto believe that what they show is real.
So, are there really more things in heaven and Earth than dreamt in our philosophy? Are we being hoodwinked by those in pursuit of fame and a quick buck? Or are we clutching at straws in the hope that extraordinary and unexplainable things really can happen?
The Sunken Treasure sinks Disneyland Paris!
Avast ye hearties, a tidal wave of awesomeness is coming from China where the newly installed Pirates Of The Caribbean at Shanghai Disneyland is about to set sail and the early word is that its incredible. Everything from what we've seen of the ride footage looks like it's an awesome thrill-ride into the world of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Titled Pirates Of The Caribbean: Battle For The Sunken Treasure, the new ride begins very much like the other Pirate attractions in that there's many scenes with dead pirates sat in treasure rooms. The famous jail scene shows that the pirates have waited too long for the dog to bring them the keys to release them from their cell.
Civil War Nears $1b
Captain America; Civil War is getting closer and closer to breaking the all-important $1bn barrier at the worldwide box-office, after another strong weekend that saw it take $158m.
That takes its total to $940m already, making it the second highest-grossing film of the year so far, behind Disney's Zootopia/Zootropolis (the Mouse of House are having a very good 2016 so far).
It also makes it the sixth biggest superhero film of all-time, behind both Avengers movies, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and Iron Man 3.
It shouldn't really come as much surprise to be fair, as if any film of 2016 seemed guaranteed to break a billion it was Civil War, with the presence of a number of Avengers in it, and very strong reviews leading i

Twister
Incredible Military Issued Flashlight Now Available to Public
You know, that exasperating feeling when you turn on an old flashlight, only to discover it's foggy bulb can barely light the way to the bathroom, let alone down a dark hallway or country road in an emergency.
The truth is, most people underestimate the importance of owning a great flashlight for their home, car or boat.
Ask any fireman, police officer, military man, survivalist or hunter and they'll tell you how critical it is for them to have a flashlight at their disposal at all times. And for them, not just any flashlight will do. Those clunky plastic halogen flashlights that require C or D batteries are practically worthless -- they're just too heavy, too dim, and too easily broken.
Thankfully, recent advancements in lighting technology have taken flashlights to the next level. Compact LEDs have led to smaller flashlights that put out more light while using a fraction of the energy their old-fashioned counterparts use. But before you run out to Home Depot to buy any old LED flashlight, you need to know about a new tactical flashlight called the G700, which uses recently released military technology now available to the public.
Florida Attractions That No Longer Exist
Universal Studios Florida turns 26 this year and only two attractions from the opening day still remain: E.T. Adventure and Universal's Horror Make Up Show.
Many rides have come and gone to make way for new attractions and even rides which replaced other rides have since been replaced.
Universal's Orlando Resort has always been limited in space which means that every attraction matters. If a ride or show is beginning to look tired, then action is required and Universal Studios Florida are quick with the axe and aren't afraid to get rid of attractions, even some that hold a special place in the heart of regular park visitors.

Honey: Historical "Facts" That Simply Aren't True
Friday, 6 May 2016
Historical "Facts" That Simply Aren't True
The study of other parts of history can be open to interpretation though. For example, some people argue that King Richard III was an evil tyrant, while other believe he was no better or worse a monarch than any of his predecessors or successors. Alternatively, some historians argue that the Treaty of Versailles and the "failed peace" following the Great War made the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis and the subsequent onset of World War II "inevitable", while others believe the two global conflicts are not as intertwined as this.
But this does not present a problem in itself, because history is a discipline that is intended to forge debate, research, argument and measured reasoning. It is when fact and opinion become blurred, and false "truths" become believed that this becomes a problem. Certain myths and legends - such as Robin Hood and King Arthur - are known to be such, but sometimes historical beliefs are presented as "facts" when they are actually incorrect.
For example, Christopher Columbus didn't set foot in the modern-day United States, Lady Godiva did not ride naked through Coventry on horseback, and Abraham Lincoln did not initiate the US Civil War merely to abolish slavery.
