Map that named America is a puzzle for researchers
The only surviving copy of the 500-year-old map that first used the name America goes on permanent display this month at the Library of Congress, but even as it prepares for its debut, the 1507 Waldseemuller map remains a puzzle for researchers. picked by icepigs 10 months ago

 Map from 1507 an Early Look at 'America'
Map from 1507 an Early Look at 'America'
The year was 1507. A landlocked German cartographer created a surprisingly accurate map of the world, and used the word "America" to honor explorer Amerigo Vespucci. This is believed to be the first time the word "America" was used. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

 "If America is the new Rome, Wall Street is our Coliseum"
"If America is the new Rome, Wall Street is our Coliseum"
7-minute interview from NPR with the author of the book "Bad Money". Kevin Phillips warns us that America is going to way of ancient Rome... at least financially. One of the reasons for the economic collapse of the Roman empire was that they began to focus their economy on DEBT products, rather than manufacturing actual, physical items. Sound familiar? *This ties in with Bornbad's ... read full post picked by RowanGrey 6 months ago

OpEd: You are Destroying America. Yes, You.
Terrorism will never destroy America. It will come from within. From fear-addicts who have raped the U.S. so much that they should be drawn up on charges of treason. The cowards who want a nanny state to coddle them, hug them, and ultimately contain them in a little crib with bars and monitors and cameras. picked by democracy101 1 year ago

 Plimates crossword puzzle
Plimates crossword puzzle
I made this for all us Plime addicts. There are a couple of notes:

1) If I didn't use your name it is because I HATE YOU! Er...no actually some names would not fit, and I could only use 20 entries.

2) There are some names with numbers in them. With those I spelled out the number...i.e. 14 would be fourteen

3) Hints may be found in the forums and on the profile pages... picked by Moe 1 year ago
