What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. They say the argument of truth is linked to the human experience. But if normal is an illusion, how can we guarantee that the notion of the truth exists? Does one whole truth against 7.753 billion realities? What is the truth exactly? How do we find it?

The secret history of my hometown
I grew up in a town on Lake Erie that was once known by its Native American name, Xeuma. It was later known, along with other neighboring towns, as the French Creek District, followed by its present name, Avon Lake. If you grew up in the Cleveland area, you probably know Avon Lake as a “new” suburb. But Avon Lake is not new, and its history is just as rich as Cleveland’s. While the city of Cleveland sits on what was once a no-man’s land, Avon Lake was home to Native American tribes living along the French Creek.

"Top chameleon" Murdoch
The world's 'most influential People. In 1985, when 20th Century Fox was in trouble, Murdoch took a swing and overpaid for its stock.

Little Treasures of History Or how Ragnar Lodbrok and Hamlet Turned out to be Cousins
One of my hobbies is medieval history, especially the Viking Age. Perhaps my distant Danish ancestors (there are some in my family’s genealogical tree) have something to do with it. But, anyway, I love digging through history books, reading medieval chronicles, and — in this case — Scandinavian sagas. When you delve deep enough into the specific historical era, your brain starts ticking on its own. It suddenly picks up unexpected coincidences and facts that you might otherwise never think about. Sometimes these facts can be unpredictable to the edge of paradox.
