The Irish no doubt were inspired to write some of the most beautiful, hauntingly sad songs thanks to the "Great Migration" from the potato famine, to the US. "If time were a thing man could buy..." Silly Wizard, and you may need kleenex for this one: youtu.be/gFzvuk-_QGI?...

Here is the Nebra sky disk, considered by some the oldest known illustration of the night sky.
The artifact was discovered near Nebra alongside several Bronze Age weapons and is linked to the Unetice culture, which thrived in parts of Europe...

If you've never seen "The African Queen", you might consider it. Incredible pairing of two of the greatest actors ever to grace Hollywood studios -- Bogart and Hepburn (Katherine, that is), Bogart won best actor, but IMHO, Hepburn was even better (nominated only): youtu.be/sFVu74-A6kI?...

This is footage taken earlier today of the eye of Hurricane Melissa.
The entire view is remarkable, of the core of one of the strongest Atlantic basic hurricanes in recorded history, and a catastrophic hit to Jamaica and the central Caribbean.
