I want to start posting so much more in 2021 and have started planning out posts for the future.

That Time One of the Most Powerful Men in the World Was Attacked by Rabbits

Napoleon Bonaparte. The name may make you think of one of the most powerful military leaders in history. However, I am here to change that view a bit. There is no doubt, Napoleon has many successful feats. The man conquered a large part of Europe. We're not here to discuss his military tactics, nor politics. This post is solely to tell the story of when he was attacked by rabbits. Yes, rabbits. In 1807, Napoleon signed the Treaties of Tilsit, which ended the war between his French Empire and Imperial Russia. To celebrate the end of the war, the Emperor wanted to have a rabbit hunt. Being a busy man, he entrusted his Chief of Staff, Alexandre Berthier in charge of putting the hunt together. It is unknown exactly how many rabbits Berthier collected. The estimate is anywhere from a few hundred to 3,000. That is a lot of rabbits. Too many. The caged rabbits were lined up at the end of the field, where the hunt would take place. It was intended that the rabbits would be released and the...

Celebrating Eight Years Loving the Love of My Life

 Heyo! McCartha here, coming at you with a half-serious, half memeish post! If you're new here, let me introduce myself. I am McCartha Evita Monteith. It is not my actual name, but a name I have chosen. Each of those three names correlates to something special in my life. Monteith in honor of the late Cory Monteith, who portrayed Finn Hudson in Glee and is one of my heroes. Evita because I am Latinx and when I started learning Spanish in high school, I was obsessed with the musical, Evita. Lastly, McCartha is a name bestowed on my for my obsession with Paul McCartney. It was given to me by someone who I don't talk to anymore, but I will fondly remember him for the rest of my life. Also it helped me decide to officially change my name - when I can afford it. What does me explaining my name have to do with celebrating the love of my life? Today marks eight years since I fell in love with Paul McCartney. Oh, you don't know who Paul is? Great because he is the person I can neve...

That Time King Richard III was Found Buried Under a Parking Lot

Was feeling a bit under the weather and was unable to finish this by last Wednesday, my normal day for this series, but I decided to start posting these on Sundays- for now. This week on "That Time..." we discuss the discovery of the remains of King Richard III, the last Plantagenet King of England. I am American, but I have been interested in English Monarchs for as long as I can remember. Back in 2013 or 2014, I came across a documentary about finding King Richard III's remains and that is where my interest in him specifically began. Portrait of King Richard III, artist unknown, late 16th century Who is King Richard III? Some may know him from the Shakespeare play about him In the play, he is portrayed as a villain. It's not the most accurate. The real King Richard III was born in 1452 during the Middle Ages. In 1483, Richard's brother Edward IV died, succeeded by his 12-year-old son, Edward V. Richard was named Lord Protector of the Realm. After the disappearan...
