I read in the Globe and Mail Facts and Arguments that a researcher has determined that at least five of Bach's pieces were actually written by his wife.
I wonder how many talented women used their husband's names to publish their artistry. I couldn't think of any female classical composers, and it has to be solely due to sexism.
I've heard rumours of Shakespeare being a multitude of people and not just one (he didn't even sign his name consistently). I wonder if perhaps there was a group of women who did the writing (even if they did borrow heavily from Marlowe).

The Garden of Eden
The internet branches across the world like a set of roots, soaking up all the data and information we throw into it, creating a living, undulating mass of information.
It changes every millisecond. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad.
The internet is the perfect place to share misinformation.
There are a couple thousand sites all listing the same junk science, because they thought it was so amazing.
Regardless of copyright, I really don't know why people don't verify stuff through snopes, or some other service.
The internet is also the perfect place to feed perverse desires, spread hate, show intolerance and utterly humiliate.
The internet is a tree of knowledge. Just watch out for the rotten fruit.

History rewritten
Sometimes I think everything I know is wrong.
I read about one gentleman who thinks just about every date in the history book is wrong and that written history took place in half the time we think.
According to Discover magazine, another scientist has found what might be T-Rex muscle. Since tissue is thought to only last about 10,000 years, the repercussions are incredible.
Then there's the findings that suggestion North American natives came from the south and not the north - Well, maybe they came from the north, went south and then back up north - but now I'm just confusing things.
Darkmatter.
The universe is expanding - no contracting - no expanding.
Removing tonsils will cure 25% of ADHD patients.
Using cell phones more than 50 hours a week will rot your brain. Or not. Maybe it's only true if you eat aspartame at the same time.
And tomorrow it will all be different.
