Grenada, not Granada.

Don’t publish something if you can’t get your facts right.

Yeah, I agree with Bill!

Why write something like this when anyone of us can find it in a history book? Actually, why did anyone write that history book in the first place? I mean, the information already existed in original documents at the US and Russian military.

Come to think about, why do people ever bother with gathering information in one place, when it can already be found on diverse place all over the world. I just don’t get it!

And as if all of this wasn’t enough, you are being witty about it! Are you trying to amuse us or something???

Jeez…

@ Dan.

Open a history book. None of this stuff is new or secret, it was just written in one place in a much more interesting style than your average textbook. Blogging, with it’s ad-nauseum linking and trackbacks has gotten us a bit spoiled, dontcha think?

I really love mentalfloss, but I just wish you could provide some documentation or at least vaguely cite your sources.
