Twisted History
History doesn't have to be boring, although those who lived through it probably wished it were. Starting on 15 March 2000, we take a look backwards every day. Sometimes we'll use binoculars, looking through them backwards of course. Sometimes we'll use tweezers, only we'll be putting the splinters back in. And with any kind of luck, we'll find a replacement for the pulse cyclimeter that was smashed the last time we took the Wayback Machine for a spin!
So sign up now for Twisted History, a decidedly skewed look at the events that have brought us from the Neanderthal Age to the Network Era. Daily looks at the madness we've been through, birthdays of the rich and fatuous, uh, the famous and infamous, sometimes illuminated by trenchant quotes from the giants of the ages. Edited by the same long-haired over-fed leaping gnome that created The Twisted Straw!
