IN the UK it hasn't been this hot in September since 1895 - the glaring difference is folks strip off now and remained dressed then ... on the beach.

Father Hannan

As members of the greatest generation that ever lived continue to slip away ... we salute former Archbishop Phillip Hannan who famously eulogized President John F. Kennedy. For 40 years he stood by the Kennedys and had laid to rest two infant babies for the couple.
He passed away today at the creditable age of 98!

Science debunks history. Mary Shelley's bright and shining moon that inspired her 1816 "Frankenstein" tale has been proven by a scientist who also changed the historic record on the date of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55BC and when Van Gogh made his famous "Moonrise" painting.
