First of all, I'd like to compliment you on your extraordinary luck. You've stumbled across one of the only forced-creation blogs in all of the interwebs. Good for you. Give yourself a pat on the back, and a cookie.
This is what my AP United States History class has been assigned for the rest of the year, and gee golly. It's so much fun I might explode. Basically, I have to post every two days for the next 2 weeks about a historical event, and comment on the other blogs my classmates have made. I'm going to try to pick topics that are interesting and obscure, so that I at least get something out of this besides snores.
So, my first post should probably include some history.
My first little-known history gem is about cults in America, a cult called Bohemian Grove. This cult has had very distinguished members, including every republican president since 1923, and a few democratic presidents as well.
Here's a picture of their wierdo initiation ceremony, in which a member to be inducted is fake-cremated.
This west-coat based cult has been behind many huge parts of history--it's rumored that at a Bohemian Grove meeting, the beginning ideas for the Manhattan Project were formed. 
Well, that's all for today :|
