7 Secrets Only Two Living People Know (For Some Reason)
Mama always told us that is a secret is no longer secret when you tell even one person. Here are seven cases where it seems to have worked out just fine -so far. The reasons that the secret must remain a secret vary, but the reason two people must know it are understandable: if one dies, the other will retain the secret information, and if one reveals the secret, the other will know who is to blame. Pictured is Carly Simon, who knows who she wrote the song “You’re So Vain” about. The other person who knows will probably surprise you. It’s not the person the song is about! Link

World War II POWs Used Escape Maps Hidden In Monopoly Pieces
Last year, an archive of World War II maps was donated to the British Library Map Library. Some of these maps are now on display to the public, and they have fascinating story behind them!
Waddington PLC, the printing company best known for its games including Monopoly, was involved in a most unusual venture during the Second World War: printing maps on silk, rayon and tissue paper for military use and smuggling some of them to prisoners of war.
[...]
During WWII hundreds of thousands of maps were produced by the British on thin cloth and tissue paper. The idea was that a serviceman captured or shot down behind enemy lines should have a map to help him find his way to safety if he escaped or, better still, evade capture in the first place. A map like this could be concealed in a small place (a cigarette packet or the hollow heel of a flying boot), did not rustle suspiciously if the captive was searched and, in the case of maps on cloth or mulberry leaf paper, could survive wear and tear and even immersion in water. The scheme was soon extended to cover those who had already been captured, although a certain amount of ingenuity was required to get the maps into the POW camps.

So You Wanna Blog ...
To kick start the new Neatorama forum, I’ve written a little how-to guide on blogging for those of you who want to know the secret of Neatorama’s success:
So you want to blog. Perhaps you’re worried about your job security, or perhaps you just want an extra source of income in these bad economic times. Blogging is fun – and it can be profitable, if you know what you’re doing.
In the first of what I hope is a series of forum posts about blogging, I’d like to give back to the readers of Neatorama. If you want to blog, you don’t have to buy an eBook that promises to tell you the secret of making money online. I’ll tell you what I’ve learned from three years of blogging – what I think I did right and wrong. In a nutshell, I’ll tell you the secrets of Neatorama’s growth and success.
In this article, I’m going to assume two things: you’ve never blogged before (but you want to try) and you want to blog for fun and profit.
I hope you like it – if it’s popular, I’ll post more: Link
