Astrid Joosten, a tourist, had only spent 10 min in the cave. 13 days later she was dead.

She was killed by a virus so deadly that the Centers for Disease Control has asked the Pentagon for help in funding their research inside the Uganda caves where the fruit bats live.

No paywall here.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Must be a chrome thing. It blocks me from reading and asks for a dollar.

I went in and deleted the associated cookies for the washington post site and the paywall went away. It has to do with how many times you have clicked on their site even it was just a link in someone else's post. At some point they quit letting you read their articles for free.


Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

This could be an excellent X-Files episode.

Its really not that strange that the Washington Post would try to con you into buying a subscription. Shady yes but not strange enough for the xfiles.
