West Virginia and Oklahoma have jutting panhandles that don't make sense in a rational world of boundary setting. The Civil War must had something to do with West Virginia's eastern protusion, the one in the northern part of the State seems absurd. Meanwhile, Oklahoma's panhandle totally baffles me. Any insights on how these came into being?

I am a teacher and am required to teach this in Massachusetts. It's interesting stuff, but I can't find the information online. I think I need the expertise of someone who knows their European history. I know that at the time, in America, white, male, Protestand property owners could vote, and that the religion and property requirements disappeared over the coming years. But who could vote in England, France, and Russia? Thanks!

Well, the man was unstoppable. HE used Light Cavalry only consisting of horse archers and lancers. In Europe, cavalry were defeated by heavy infantry. But why could no one defeat the Khan? Why couldn't anyone adapt to his Tactics? Can you suggest some ways by which he could've been defeated?

i hear about these great huge fires in history, the london fire, the washington d.c fire, etc, but it makes me wonder how the hell they put it out. i just find it hard to believe that a pail of water from the wishing well would put a fire when even today we have trouble putting out those huge forest fires out and california that occur without much warning, then again, we still don't know how pyramids were made either......

There was a continued close relationship between Assyria and Babylon throughout their history

Militarism. Assyria was essentially a military power, and the historical picture left of its exploits is one of great cruelty and rapaciousness. (PICTURES, Vol. 1, p. 958) One of their warrior monarchs, Ashurnasirpal, describes his punishment of several rebellious cities in this way:
“I built a pillar over against his city gate, and I flayed all the chief men who had revolted, and I covered the pillar with their skins; some I walled up within the pillar, some I impaled upon the pillar on stakes, . . . and I cut off the limbs of the officers, of the royal officers who had rebelled. . . . Many captives from among them I burned with fire, and many I took as living captives. From some I cut off their hands and their fingers, and from others I cut off their noses, their ears, and their fingers(?), of many I put out the eyes. I made one pillar of the living, and another of heads, and I bound their heads to posts (tree trunks) round about the city. Their young men and maidens I burned in the fire . . . Twenty men I captured alive and I immured them in the wall of his palace. . . . The rest of them [their warriors] I consumed with thirst in the desert of the Euphrates.”—Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia, by D. D. Luckenbill, 1926, Vol. I, pp. 145, 147, 153, 162.
Reliefs often show their captives being led by cords attached to hooks that pierced the nose or the lips, or having their eyes put out at the point of a spear. Thus, sadistic torture was a frequent feature of Assyrian warfare, about which they shamelessly boasted and which they carefully recorded. The knowledge of their cruelty doubtless served them to an advantage militarily, striking terror into the hearts of those in their line of attack and often causing resistance to crumble. Assyria’s capital, Nineveh, was aptly described by the prophet Nahum as a “lair of lions” and as “the city of bloodshed.”—Na 2:11, 12; 3:1.

Ape, the appearance looked like human being, so we suspected we were rooted from the ape. Do you agree that?

I've been reading romeo and juliet and me and a friend started to have a discussion about who was really to blame for the death of these two star crossed lovers, and i'd really appreciate it if i could get opinions of other people. Were the families to blame or Benvolio, or the lovers themselves? maybe someone else, please let me know.
