II in Europe, the Russians brought the corpse back to the Kremlin and performed an autopsy on it. The medical examiner reported that the corpse was pregnant with a fetus. How could this be possible. Adolf Hitler was born with only one testicle and was not able to impregnate women. Nazi propaganda told the German people Hitler lost it from a wound he aquired in WW I.

The above information is from an episode of a show I watched on the History Channel. If it is all true, how do you think Eva Braun got pregnant? History buffs, let loose on this one!

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shrudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee so well--
Long, long I shall rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.

You know when the poet says that he feels the shame... what does he mean? why is he embarassed?

This painting was on the living room wall at my grandmothers' house and it scared me as a five year old (just like my grandmother did). It shows a woman holding her child and they are being transferred via a rope into a lifeboat below. They are halfway between the ship and lifeboat and they are in tremendous peril. The painting is darkish and the seas are rough. The ship is a steamer and I'm guessing the era is early 1900's. The life boat has men manning the oars and others holding the lifeline and reaching out for the mother and child. There are people at the rail of the ship and some are helping with the transfer and some are watching. The painting is cropped so only the side of the ship is seen, fairly close up. Close enough so you can see the expressions on the faces of the people involved. Size of the painting roughly 36"w x 24"h. Painting is not a Zichy or a Claxton. Thnks & rgds.

I'm not talking about schools or Intelligent design I'm talking about people who belilive in evolotion don't beive in God and people who belive in God (including nonchristians) must belive in the creation theory. Why can't people belive in God and evolotion, so God created evolotion and the big bang. I tried to explain this to a group of christians but they turned on me and tried to explain to me how it must have been creation and I was wrong and they were unconditionally right. I'm still not sure how they did that ,but what I'm asking Is am I the only one who thinks it is possible for God to have created "the Scientific world" if you like. Why can't these ideas mix? and why do christians not accept this idea or at least consider it as I don't see it as giving up faith in God, or prehaps they do?

I am a liberal who grew up near Dallas. My first memories of him are far different than my last memories of him. I want to know your opinions. I was priviledged to have to teacher who heard him speak in his early days in Haarlem. Malcom X is one of those Americans that you can not take a neutral stand on. You either like him or you dislike him. How do you vote?

The Novel Ninth Direction, Nine Hundred Miles is a fiction with Mumbai as its back ground. It is strange that it coincides with the Beer Killer and also the Mumbai bomb blasts. It is 368 pages hard bound and is priced at Rs.495/- and has also got the ISBN no. I am trying to get hold of reviewer and distributer but have no sucess so far. will some one help me to put my books on the stores in book stand in Mumbai. I know that once it is on the book stand it will sell like a hot cake as it has very interesting story.
