Stuff below the fold

History undercover:

Is guilt the reason that the real VietNam war history is distorted?

Remembering Stalingrad.


Czech radio remembers the Czechs who died in the Katyn massacre.
They also remember the Brno death march, which was the result of the expulsion of several million Germans from that country after World war II..
And they wonder why no one remembers the crimes of communism.
All links have podcasts to download.

Chinese archeology update.,.

Librivox has an audiobook on orchid cultivation
...

Reports that the English Catholic mass translation stresses God, not celebrating ourselves...stress beauty, not "Sacropop"..
heck here they are all over the place...

I wouldn't know...mass here is in Tagalog...

Archeoblog remembers the Armero tragedy, in Colombia, when a town was covered by lahar in 1985, and wonders if a thousand years from now it will be a new Pompeii?
Orealis has written a song about it...
