Till now, I got only rumors, and no reliable source. Jacques-Yves Cousteau never officially claimed to be Muslim, well I need a thrustworth source that affirms the theory I hear about since I was child; however, a quick search in the net results that it’s just a hoax.

After some days of talk, I finally could convince a childhood friend, Kaizuko, to set up a blog. Kaizuko was discouraged at first, as had no ideas to talk about, but wrote 5 posts today, all treating interesting topics!!

Consider Columbus:
He didn’t know where he was going.
When he got there he didn’t know where he was.
When he got back he didn’t know where he had been.
And he did it all on someone else’s money.
The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, although here the phases
