The Real Truth About Titanic – What Really Happened
First things first, let’s talk about the Titanic itself. In 1912, the RMS Titanic was the largest vessel afloat in the world, and it was built to be unsinkable – which, of course, is why its sinking caused such a commotion when it happened in April of that year. What exactly happened that night? That’s what this article will tell you – but only after you read about all of the many factors that lead up to it.

Rajatarangini And The Study Of Kalhana’s History Of Kashmir: Part III
Maharani Didda And The Utpala Dynasty In Kashmir Minister Bhuyya trembled as he stood outside the gates of Queen Didda’s chambers, faced with the task of getting the grief stricken Queen up-to-date with the state affairs. It had been a week since the Queen had lost her beloved son, Abhimanyu and Bhuyya could hear her muffled sobbing from the corridor. He recalled the fate of the last Prime Minister, Naravahana, who felt suicide was an easier option than the constant bashing, berating and questioning of Didda. Bhuyya was armed with a way to pull Didda out of her grief but still unsure whether it would work. He cleared his throat and entered her chambers, making ample noises to make his presence apparent to the Queen. Didda lay sprawled on the floor, her face buried in the folds of her silk shawl as her body trembled with every sniff. She raised her disheveled head to see the new arrival and could barely make out Bhuyya’s tall frame through her teary eyes. She wiped her puffy face and slowly sat up. Bhuyya walked towards her and handed her large manuscript. Didda took it and looked at the page. It had a plan elevation of a heavily ornamental Vishnu Temple. The bottom of the manuscript read, “Abhimanyuswamin Temple, dedicated to the late King Abhimanyu, beloved of Didda”. She looked up to see Bhuyya smiling, aware that his plan had worked. Didda whispered, “This is perfect…let’s do it”. Within minutes she had stormed towards the Court, ready to meet the architects she summoned.

Pranked!
Ahh, April Fool's Day... A time for us to get clever with our devious side and freak some people out. Whatever you end up doing to just remember there is a difference between fun and cruelty. April fool's pranks are supposed to end in laughter not someone seeking revenge. For example, putting mustard in someone's shampoo bottle is funny. Putting a fake spider in someone's refrigerator is also funny, just make sure they are not deathly afraid of spiders, you don't want them to go into cardiac arrest. Letting the air out of someone's tire(s) is cruel, inconvenient and not funny at all. They will obviously be late to something and may have to call a tow truck which will cost them $$$. Putting a mouse trap in their mailbox is also cruel. Pranks aren't supposed to be painful. So put on your thinking cap before you make or break someone's day.

The 'Evilest Wizard' is a Better Minion
If anyone recognizes the name John Dee, it's likely for one of two reasons. Either they read the Secrets of the Immortal Nicolas Flamel by Michael Scott or they've played a video game with an evil wizard/necromancer/alchemist. There is rarely a middle ground. (Middle ground could potentially include another book or maybe even a movie, but those are unicorns and I refuse to believe those people exists.)
