Historical events that prove JRR Tolkien’s observation that “Good often does evil” (or the opposite) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I can say with almost total certainty that if this post gets a lot of hits, it will be because numerous LOTR devotees on Daily Kos can’t resist clicking the picture showing Gollum, Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins as they appear in a scene from Peter Jackson’s blockbuster trilogy, and if not that the title link mentioning JRR Tolkien. Either way, now that you’re here I hope to justify your irresistible attraction by zooming in on a BBC story that would have reeled in the LOTR certifiable fanatic
Do dolphins, elephants and gorillas go to heaven too? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So I asked a religious friend if dolphins, elephants and gorillas went to heaven like humans since they are almost identical to us genetically (there’s a 98 percent DNA match), and she responded that while God loves those creatures, only humans join Him in the afterlife. I then asked whether it’s okay to eat pork as well since pigs are also virtually the same as humans (another 98 percent match), and she replied that while God loves them too, He put them and other animals here on Earth for us to
How did Churchill make it to 90? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve often wondered how Winston Churchill smoked a staggering eight to 10 cigars a day (which jibes with receipts showing that he purchased 275 stogies in the month of June 1964 alone) and drank all day long (it’s estimated that he quaffed a whopping 42,000 bottles of fave Pol Roger’s champagne over the course of 65 years, around two per day in addition to his whiskies, etc.) and yet lived to the ripe old age of 90.

What should Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg do with their unimaginable fortunes instead of hoarding the lucre? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The annals of history show moguls, nabobs, emperors, robber barons, tycoons, magnates, a czarina (Catherine the Great) and even a communist dictator (Joseph Stalin) who have amassed trillion-dollar fortunes as tens of millions all around them suffered in abject poverty. Heedless extravagant greed goes back at least as far as Lydian King Croesus some two-and-a-half millennia ago, and you would think that an insatiable lust to have more lucre than one could spend in a hundred lifetimes would have
