Every year I ask kids "In what century did Pablo Picasso die?" And even with coaching and notes, most of them tag him as a Renaissance artist.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-50107358688926409722008-07-29T13:20:00.000-07:002008-07-29T13:20:00.000-07:00"Now Darren, didn't you know that the actual space..."<I>Now Darren, didn't you know that the actual space flights all took place in the teens, and that news of them only leaked out in the sixties?</I>"<BR/><BR/>*WHAT* are you talking about.

All those rocket launches from Cape Kennedy were only to cover up that we had discovered intelligent life on the moon and our government was afraid that news would frighten us. That way they could show those pictures (all made in Hollywood studios) of the moon landing and convince us that the moon is uninhabited. The moon flights were also staged as a means of quieting the rumors about Roswell. You will have to hand it to our government for killing two birds with one space program. ;-DFritz J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07964038461331789981noreply@blogger.com
