@AuschwitzMuseum @TiaBruhn I'd like to know what rational explanation these people have to counter the fact that millions of people went missing. If the Holocaust didn't happen, then where did all those people go? And why didn't any of them come back to their families?

@veranmiller I have a membership to it myself - I'm just telling you what I've heard people say. It's mostly from beginners that I hear it, but in the past when I've taught classes on how the different big websites work, I've always listed it as a valuable resource.

@LauraPowellEsq @BurtMaclin_FBI If there has to be 2 pieces of bread, you're removing an entire culture from the issue - Scandinavians are famous for open-faced sandwiches w/only 1 piece of bread. In the US, USDA & FDA have responsibility for defining the word, & they have diff. ones for open & closed versions.

Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskills launched American landscape painting. By mid-century it was so popular that people paid admission to watch scheduled waterfall performances.

Halfway up the falls, there's a plaque for Vite, a dog who leaped from the top in 1868 trying to reach his master.

On June 19th, locals say, you can still hear him. https://t.co/p7PdI6Y9Nh

Did you know the trampoline was invented in eastern Iowa? At just 16, George Nissen built the first prototype in his parents’ garage — and decades later saw it become an Olympic sport.
