But didn't "The Crusades" take place in Mesopotamia? Ya know....the ones from 1000 AD to like 1300 AD? In fact, wasn't the entire purpose of the Crusades to retake Jerusalem, which I believe is in what was once Mesopotamia...I'm neither a Geography nor a History major though, so I could be wrong, but that sounds right.

And most if not all of those ended in pretty savage disaster.

Most Eastern of the Crusades targeted Jerusalem, one Damascus, one Egypt, one Lithuania one even Christian Constantinople. Whole those in the middle east, none are in the region most commonly called Mesopotamia, which is modern day Iraq ( ... )

Also.....what chain mail do you receive that tells of a mythical $50,000 cookie recipe? I wish to read it if you get one, because that has to be FUNNY.

I got that one in the distant past, I researched it and mailed everyone in the chain a link to a n article disproving the myth. The thing that gets me is that I was able to discover the chain letter was a hoax with about 30 seconds of pre-google internet searching, a task that was too difficult for hundreds of people previous to me.

I liked the specials on the Seven Deadly Sins, except where they do stuff like invert their dates. But other than that, interesting stuff.
