In the early 1960’s, the U.S.S.R was doing it’s level best to push the boundries of it’s space program ahead of the United States. The program apparently recruited cosmonauts who ran a very real risk of never returning from their missions. In fact, in some cases it was a certainty that the mission was suicide.
This entire program was a state secret and the rest of the world would...
Another Friday the 13th is upon us. Although there’s some debate over the superstition surrounding this unlucky day, The Count has a very strong opinion of it’s origin and has asked me to share his point of view on it.
A few years ago, an author named Dan Brown released a book called ‘The Da Vinci Code’ which was a bestseller and eventually made into a film. This book, while rooted...
50 Years ago and a day something unusual happened in the Ural Mountains. 5 decades is but a flash for the Count, but for the mortals who visit this website, it is possibly a lifetime.

Although he does not have a computer, he understands what they are and how the Internet works. Upon receiving these correspondences I type them up and post them to honor these wishes. Often times with his vast life experience, he makes references to things that might...
In 1893, legendary Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen was embarking on an expedition north to explore previously unknown territory. He undertook this trip aboard the world’s first icebreaker the Fram, which still holds the world record from his trip for northernmost passage by a wooden surface vessel in history. She also holds it for the south after a bait and switch departure at the hand of...
Last October, Eric York, a 37 year old Park Ranger in the Grand Canyon found a deceased Mountain Lioness with no sign of trauma save a bloody nose. Lacking the facilities to do a proper necropsy, he carried the poor beast to his garage where he began one himself. On November 2nd, he was found dead. Was he killed instantly by a cloud of escaping bacteria from her carcass? It turns out to be the pneumonic...
