Almost ten years ago, that is.

These were quite interesting clips, the first in Alaska, the second in Minnesota and the third in Toronto. The post may be a little slow to load.

  7. I had never heard of St Valentine's Day until a few years ago, then I thought it was a Christian holiday in the USA.
    Insightvacations wrote:The true origins of St. Valentine have been widely debated, with stories claiming that the real St. Valentine was a Roman bishop in Rome who was executed for performing illegal marriages for Christian lovers. Some say he carried messages between imprisoned Christians and had a romance with a young blind woman who he healed and signed his letter Your Valentine.

  12. I enjoyed the videos. I never realised there could be ice tsunamis. Terrifying to live through, but fascinating for the viewer!

Media Lies

About a week ago I came across this video. I immediately wondered why I had not heard of this? How come there weren't alerts on my phone...
