They used to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery…if you had to do this to survive you were “Piss Poor”. But worse then that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot…they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the considered the lowest of the low.

And we thought we had it bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a historical day!!!!!!

The History Chanel Magazine wrote in February 2009  that they wanted to put to rest an urban legend that basically stated “Walt Disney is frozen and resides beneath the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction at Disneyland awaiting a new life.

According to their authoritative investigators including Barbara and David Mikkelson, who investigate stories just like this one and want to put to rest this myth. Their evidence shows that Disney was cremated after his death on Dec 15 1966, at the age of 65, and his urn placed at Forest lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California as their key proof  including the official death certificate, which is a legal and binding offical document.

Based on their research, I would draw that same conclusion!

However, while researching Cryonics in the year 1987 at the University of Eastern Michigan, I considered cryonics for my new family and myself upon our death, and went as far as to contact and obtain all of the legal paperwork and step by step instructions as to how to set up an estate upon our deaths to pay for our storage and our support upon our reawakening if and when that day came.

I will NOT divulge the company I went through or its location, but it was told to me by the (director?person in charge) again I will NOT give too much specifics here so that person cannot be tracked down. Cryonics is a very guarded society, in my opinion, and they have the right to be because of the skepticism. But that they had Walt Disney’s head/ brain because he was of the belief that scientists would be able to reproduce a body and place his brain in it, before they would be able to complete the repair process on an aged/diseased body. Therefore there were two ways to choose to be frozen and stored 1.whole body 2. head. Each choice came with a continuing cost that was covered through leaving the cryonic society an insurance policy naming them as the beneficiary for your storage and continued maintenance.

My point is that their information they found probably does exist…because Cryonics, even today, is not a widely accepted practice. And, he probably didn’t want someone to try and attempt to steal his head…much like the incident when criminals attempted to steal the body of Abraham Lincoln. All of those documents would still exist even if he was frozen, because there has to be a death certificate to get the Life insurance policy to pay the cryonic society. And, if he was of the belief that the head was the most important part to keep…then there would have been a body to cremate and place in California. It still would not fully prove he was not a cryonic society subscriber, again, in my opinion after having visited the IDEA of preparing for my future death. The education of this experience was interesting and rewarding ,and it helped me to appreciate its existance. But waking up someday, not knowing anybody scared me so much, i couldn’t do it.

For me, this urban myth still exists based on my experience in 1987 and their research has not changed my mind.  As a side note to my readers, this is a prime example of what I am always talking about….taking what other people research and evaluating it for myself and then choosing whether to do additional research on it, or if I already have, then do I choose to change my beliefs accordingly, or to remain steadfast to my own.

My choice in this matter is: I believe a piece of Disney exists, not in a park somewhere, but in a future Lab because Walt was a true visionary and a brave soul. Anyone who saw Walt Disney World, in its true glamour and form that exists today, when he looked at the mosquito infested swamps in Florida and pursued it against everyones advice, is not only a visionary, but a brave individual. One that could stand the test of time, and be fine, alone, in the future.

You can believe it or not…..I don’t care….I reported what I experienced first hand.  And with that Have a Historical Day!!!

In 1874 the first testicular cup was used in a game of Hockey,

The helmet wasn’t introduced to a sporting event until 1974

Took 100 years for men to realize the brain was also important? LOL!!!!

The Republican Party which grew out ot the resistance to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which overrode the Missouri-Compromise and allowed slavery to spread into the Western territory by popular sovereignty.

The Republican party absorbed anti-slavery Whigs and most Know-Nothings. It became more moderate in its stance on the exclusion of slavery and denounced John Brown’s raid. The platform endorsed a protective tariff, the Homestead Act, and internal improvements.

In the midst of the Civil War, the Republican party asked that the country continue to fight according to Lincoln’s war measures. The party demanded an unconditional surrender and supported a constitutional amendment to end slavery.

The Democrats were split along “war” and “peace” factions, but managed to unite behind George McClellan in 1864. With a “Union First” (you notice no talk of slavery) then “Peace” platform, the Democrats appeased both those who desired to defeat the Confederacy at all costs as well as those who favored negotiation and compromise.

How did these two party’s ever get so messed up that the Democrats elected a “Black Man”. How does anyone voting today not spend the time to research the history of these party’s and map their development before voting???

The democratic party voted in a man they wouldn’t have cared less existed in 1861 or as it sounds in 1864. The same time period today’s Black Race continues to throw up to the white race at every chance. The excuse as to why so many that are Black voted for Obama without a second glance as to the democratic platform is quote, ”well the party changed and developed over the years and they are for the Black Man”, Really???? Looks like all the democrats are doing is enabling a Race, due to all the governmental programs for free money, to be dependant on their government, and never do anything for themselves. My question then is, if you want racism to stop, then why hasn’t the Black Race changed and developed in their thinking as time has allowed society and political parties to change? Has this hatred for the white race gone too far?????? The white race can no longer have any organization or institution that caters to just the white race (and don’t mistake my comment, maybe that is good!) But if the race that founded this country cannot have exclusive institutions because that is racism, then why can the Black race have these organizations and institutions catering and supporting only the Black race? Is the White race actually who should be called the racists? Or, has the Black race become that?????? It is a question we should all consider. The arguement of race and color is an excuse, and a crutch that no longer applies. I for one am tired of it!!! I would like to see the people of this country concentrate on the real issues and problems faced by the middle class. The upper class has will always take care of themselves and the lower class the government takes care of everything. Lets cure the problems faced by the class that pays for everything, the one that doesn’t have multiple companies and tax shelters to hide their money in. The one that can’t afford to send their kids to college.

Have a Historical Day!!

The leading cause was death by fire! And, no not because their house burned down. Death by fire because of their skirts during the process of cooking over an open fire or hearth. They had so many skirts and petticoats on, they went up like a roman candle. Sad, but true!

I WILL PUBLISH THE ANSWER TOMORROW OR COMMENT IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!!!!!!!
