My Five Best - Part 2

Tough Women On Game Of Thrones

Despite what you might have recently read about the female attitude towards Game of Thrones, women love this show! Why? Primarily, because there are some very tough women on Game of Thrones. The show, which fixates on a medieval setting has it's share of strong-willed women who you wouldn't want to cross. These brave fighters and manipulators are just as strong - if not stronger - than the men that wield the swords and rule the kingdoms. While there are too many to list, here are my favorites of the tough women on Game of Thrones. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Strange Creatures In The Bible

The Bible is one of the most widely known books in the world. Did you know of these strange creatures in the Bible? They sound more along the lines of creatures you'd find in a game of World of Warcraft or Dungeons and Dragons, but, in actuality, the Bible had them in there, first. Ask your religious friends if they are familiar with these five oddities and see what they say. I have added the section of the Bible into the examples so you can look it up for yourself. If you haven't read the book because you are turned off by religion (or whatever reason), this might intrigue you enough to open it up and find out where some of this popular mythology originates.

Eating Cheese Is Bad For You

I’ve been a vegan now for just over a year and one of the questions that I am most often asked is, “How can you give up cheese?” They can understand that I cut meat out of my diet, but cheese is just “so good”. Well, I have to agree. I did love cheese, but it’s an animal product and that is something I avoid. However, if you want to delve into it even farther, there are other reasons you might find it easier to give up this tasty food. Here are five of the best reasons not to eat cheese.

Musicians Who Dodged The Draft

Although Draft Dodging in the United States has been around since the Civil War, it is during Vietnam that most of us associate with people dodging the draft. Of these people, there were many famous musicians who dodged the draft. This does not mean that they were deferred because of medical reasons, religious beliefs or that their numbers didn’t come up - these people did something to allow the army to excuse them from service. While people of all walks of life avoided the draft, the following people are all famous musicians who dodged military service.

What If Marilyn Monroe Had Not Died?

Marilyn Monroe is one of the biggest Hollywood icons even though she has been dead for more than fifty years. She died of a drug overdose in 1962 during a time, which many feel, was the height of her popularity. But what would have happened if she did not die? What if she had lived on to perform? Here is a look at Alternative History and the answers to What if Marilyn Monroe had not died!

When Marilyn Monroe died, she was 36 years old. She had twenty-five films, been nominated for an Oscar, posed in Playboy, and was married to New York Yankees Star, Joe DiMaggie, and playwright, Arthur Miller. She was the J.Lo of her time and her life was snuffed out at the age of thirty-six. Maybe her death had made her larger-than-life? It is over fifty years since her death and people still remember her. What if...she had lived?

Great American Myths

There are many things we think that are true about our nation, but are, in fact, patently false. We just think they are true because the lies have been told to us over and over enough that they sound like they are right. Unfortunately, many of these stories about our country are just that - stories. The following is a list of things we were told is true, but is really just a part of the United States mythology.
