Curious events and folklore tales are plentiful in history, which propagated myths about bad luck and black cats. King Charles I of England owned a black cat. The day the cat died, the story goes that he proclaimed, "Alas, my luck has run out." He was arrested for high treason.
Part of Babylonian folklore includes a cat curled up in front of a fireplace to be symbolic of an evil serpent. Since cats have exceptional night vision, some folks believe the myth that cats can see ghosts.
Ages ago, if a farmer suspected that his land had been cursed, the only method to remove the spell was to shoot a black cat with a silver bullet. It was also believed that if an unexpected misfortune fell upon a village where an old woman owning a black cat resided, she would be accused of witchcraft, and she and her feline companion would be burned at the stake. The black cat certainly has had its share of vicious folklore.

I am aware the new film 'The Raven' came out this weekend. To celebrate, here is a little famous fun fact about Mr. Poe.
Chase Your Dream Girl.
don't let anything stop you.
Some guys make a lot of money. Some guys are broke and pissed off about it. This life we have choices. We also have some choices in love. At least in the beginning part of it. In a nutshell fellas, go after your dream girl. It's pretty damn simple. Are you going to keep sitting on the sideline? Are you gonna keep letting the girl at the supermarket (that you know is single) just walk by?
Most (good hearted women) love confidence. You have confidence don't you? You have the confidence to get in your car everyday. Do you know how dangerous it is to drive? But, you have the confidence to do that every single day to go to a job you might not enjoy. Think about it for a second. Pull your balls out of your ass for once and do something you don't do everyday, and do it naturally. Go after that girl!

The Attack of the
Tiger Shrimp!
NEW ORLEANS—A big increase in reports of Asian tiger shrimp along the U.S. Southeast coast and in the Gulf of Mexico has federal biologists worried the species is encroaching on native species' territory.
The black-and-white-striped shrimp can grow 13 inches long and weigh a quarter-pound, compared to eight inches and a bit over an ounce for domestic white, brown and pink shrimp. Scientists fear the tigers will bring disease and competition for native shrimp.
Shrimp are all bottom feeders, eating detritus and small animals. Bigger shrimp would eat more and these get so big they also eat small shrimp and fish, marine ecologist James A. Morris said.
Reports of tiger shrimp in U.S. waters rose from a few dozen a year -- 21 in 2008, 47 in 2009 and 32 in 2010 -- to 331 last year, from North Carolina to Texas.
"That's a big jump," said Pam Fuller, who keeps a federal invasive species database at the U.S. Geological Survey's Southeast Ecological Science Center in Gainesville, Fla.
And those are just the numbers reported to the government.
"I've had fishermen tell me they have quit bringing them in. They are seeing large numbers in their catch -- multiples per night," said Morris, who works at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research in Beaufort, N.C.
The increase "is the first indication that we may be undergoing a true invasion of Asian tiger shrimp," he said. Keep Reading this Article

We played the Shinzan and Toya Course. Kent insisted we play off the back tees and proceeded to rattle an 8 off the Par 4 first. Still managed a 'Best Gross' 81. Great play. The views were awesome, especially off the 5th, with Lake Toya below. Toya course greens still a little snow burnt and bumpy in places. Niseko Golf Course opens on April 30th.

This skull was discovered in France between 1920 and 1940.
Its easily one of the more disputed and controversial artifacts of its time.
The museum of supernatural history claims (through analysis) that the horns are in fact, naturally a part of the skull.
