Science quote of the day:

It's pure spirituality. So let's see how the different cultures made their own mummies.

Custer of the 5th U.S. Cavalry - Fair Oaks, VA, May 31, 1862 The American Civil War, fought between 1861 and 1865, was ignited from three main areas of contention which threatened to rip apart the fledgling United States of America.
