POPSThe 5 Creepiest Urban Legends (That Happen to be True) It makes sense if you think about it. The closet and under the bed are the two most popular places to hide just about anything, so it's not surprising a hell of a lot of corpses end up there as well. In fact, the odds are pretty good that at least once a guy has killed a prostitute, tried to stuff her under the bed, only to find there was already a body there.

POPSUnique Golden Chariot from Ancient Thrace Found more (at source): t is both the decoration and the gold-copper alloy that make the chariot on display in downtown Sofia without any analogy among similar finds from ancient times. The decorative plaque is 52 cm long and 12 cm wide, and 0,3 cm thick. It was placed on the lower back part of the chariot, which was actually a luxury passenger car rather than a war chariot. It pictures what appears to be an ancient building, most likely a temple. Other decorations on the chariot include a bust of Heracles (Hercules), and two heads of Medusa, the mythical gorgon monster. Over 200 chariots dated back to Thracian and Roman times have been discovered in Bulgaria so far by both archaeologists and treasure hunters. In comparison, only 2 more chariots have been found in the rest of Roman Empire - one in Pompeii, and another one in Ephesus; and about 20 chariots have been discovered in Hungary.

POPSOur Stone Age Ancestors Wore Garish Coloured Clothes He added: 'We were looking to find when the cave was occupied, what was the nature of the occupation by those early hunter-gatherers, where did they go hunting and gathering food, what kind of stone tools they used, what types of bone and antler tools they made and how they used them, whether they made beads and pendants for body decoration, and so on. 'This was a wonderful surprise, to discover these ancient flax fibres at the end of this excavation project.' The researchers also found remains of animal hair, skin beetles and moths.

POPSGlenn Beck, anti-communist art critic? More: Fair enough. That’s cable television for you. On to a bigger question: Does Beck know what he’s talking about? Absolutely not, says Christopher Knight, an art critic (a real one) for the Los Angeles Times. Beck was as “nutty as usual,” Knight wrote: He pointed to a portrait of Lenin in Mexican master Diego Rivera’s destroyed Rockefeller lobby mural, “Man at the Crossroads,” but forgot to mention that old John D. had the mural removed because of it. (Facts are stubborn things — even more stubborn than demagoguery.) With comedy stylings like that, Beck is turning out to be the Harold Harby of our day. Who was Harold Harby? A Los Angeles city councilman in the early 1950s, Harby took up propaganda-arms with a paranoid group of right-wing loonies called the Society for Sanity in Art. They made it their patriotic duty to search out Communist symbols they just knew were hidden in that weird, postwar abstract art.

POPSRespect For The Flag It's all spelled out in Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1 (see http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html).. (By the way, that's former President Bush desecrating a flag in that photo). This morning, in the neighborhood park where there was a fireworks display last night, dozens of rumpled flags were everywhere - on the ground, in trash cans, along with flag-imprinted paper plates, napkins and other such stuff. Take a look at one photographer's view of how the flag is respected at http://www.sethbutler.com/tattered/. Fortunately for the armchair patriots and chickenhawk generals, there are no criminal penalties associated with Title 4 USC1. If congress were to enact some stiff fines for violations, the federal defecit would disappear overnight. The full statute, also known as the Flag Code, can be found at http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html.

POPSMemorial Day - Lets all give a SINCERE THANK YOU to all who have served this country in the pass, present, and the future and who have served this country and fought so courageously to protect our freedom that allows us to live in such a GREAT COUNTRY. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day because it was a time set aside to honor the nation's Civil War dead by decorating their graves. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868, to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers, by proclamation of General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of former sailors and soldiers. On May 5, 1868, Logan declared in General Order No. 11 that:
