History & Literature

What Planet is This? - sundry essays on matters historical and linguistic. Where else could one find information on the following all in one place?

• Electrophonic Sounds from Bolides
• Virgular Quinquecostate Ogham
• De Mirabilibus Britanniae

What Planet is, hence, a smorgasbord of linguistics, astronomy, the paranormal, trivia, and other antiquarian nonsense lovingly researched and presented.

The Earth's Anomalous Lightforms - all about various mystery lights such as earth lights, earthquake lights, Will-o'-the-wisps, and St. Elmo's fire. Contains images, theories, anecdotes, and old materials on the subject.

Shakespeare Notes - the two most important resources here at the moment are the Shakespearean Chronology, which is getting quite long, and an essay about an Undiscovered Pun in King Lear.
