Everyone, at least at one point in there life, feels a void. I'm a good person. Things are good. I have everything I need to flourish, and come into my own. However, why does it feel like there is something more i need to achieve? Or, rather, there is something missing which I could get. If there is, in fact, something like this, how do I go about figuring out what "it" is? I need a method of prognosis.

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.



Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.



Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Whenever there's a mystery - the Bosnian pyramids, the Great Pyramid at Giza, the 'face' on Mars, Atlantis, climate change - there's an upsurge in the opinion that experts don't know anything and are very keen keep things quiet and maintain the orthodoxy. Why is this?

Experts have trained for many years to be good at what they do and to question the orthodoxy in order to keep the debate alive (no debate = no job). Backing a revolutionary theory is a good way to make your name. So why do the public seem to trust mathematicians who claim they can prove historical events?

I am creating a world of my own .The characters I took from mythologycal figure. I use elves, dwarves, men, gnomes, trolls, goblins, orcs as some of my races in this world of mine where I plant to write a book so that I could read something at our reding hour in school. However I fear that people might think that it is an immitation of tolkien and that is what I fear. I really like elves and dwarves and I already have the language for the races but I might become another tolkien imitation. Any advice?

The axe was brought back from Germany from WWII. Taken from a bombed out German building. The axe is one sided, with an eagle's head on the opposite side. The beak of the eagle is used for armor piercing. The entire axe head is roughly 8 in long and 6 in high. The axe is engraved with what looks like floral work. The eagle head is fairly intricate as well. I have taken the piece two different professors who gave me different opinions. Both thought the piece orignated from Germany, but one claimed Medieval and the other claimed Germanic tribes. If you are knowledgable in Medieval arms, please help...or email me.

Thank You

I'm writing a magical fiction and when typing out spells and chants should I capitalize and italicize them? ie: As she took up her wand she said, Tatome.
Should all words of the chapter heading be capitalized, but not in the contents. ie: Lost and Found Legacy (contents), Lost And Found Legacy (chapter title).
Is it er or err when someone doesn't know what to say. ie: Er, did you say dragon?
And how about ah in the same sense?

Thank you for your time.
