The Boy from the Black
It has been observed by no less an august personage (not to mention an expert on occult matters) than the late John Alva Keel, that flying saucer "occupants" (UFO entities and "aliens") used to be seen to "stagger" from their vehicles, as if drunk. Why this should be the case is puzzling, but an equally alien entity or personage, one of a strange and befuddling character, staggered into Nuremberg, Germany in 1828, not, seemingly, having had any origin in the common world. (Like UFO occupants, it is said he had "a staggering gait.")

The Victorian Workhouse
Helping “the poor” in an organized way goes as far back as 1388 when the Poor Law Act was introduced. This Law started to increase the involvement of the state to take responsibility towards the poor people who lived within their parish. The Poor Relief Act of 1576 was brought out for those who could work or who were willing to work in order to receive support. In 1601, the legal framework made the parish ‘responsible’ for “enacting the poor relief within geographical boundaries. This is the foundation of the principles for the Victorian Workhouses.

9 million year old shark ancestor fossil found in the desert
9 million year old shark ancestor fossil found in the desert. A recent discovery has left scientists and enthusiasts alike astonished a 9 million year old shark ancestor fossil was found buried beneath layers of scorching desert sand. This revelation challenges our understanding of prehistoric life and raises fascinating questions about how an ocean predator ended up in an arid landscape. While the idea of a shark fossil in the middle of a desert seems almost unbelievable it is a testament to the ever changing nature of our planet. To understand this phenomenon it is essential to look back millions of years when the Earth was vastly different from what we see today. Scientists explain that the very desert where the fossil was found was once submerged beneath a vast ocean. This prehistoric body of water teemed with marine life including sharks before geological and climatic shifts transformed it into the barren land we now see. The fossilized remains of this ancient shark serve as a reminder of a time when this region was part of a thriving underwater ecosystem. One of the key reasons behind such drastic transformations is the movement of tectonic plates. These massive sections of the Earth's crust are constantly shifting albeit at an imperceptibly slow pace. Over millions of years these movements can cause oceans to retreat and landmasses to rise reshaping entire continents. What was once a deep ocean floor eventually became exposed land subject to erosion and the relentless forces of nature.
