The Death of Michael Jackson

The world knows that Michael Jackson officially died on June 25, 2009. Or did he? The website MichaelJacksonSightings.com is dedicated to the various (strange) testimonies of people who have claimed to see MJ across the globe. This theory that he is alive purely stems from the ‘Mystery of 9282’, which reveals that there were exactly 9282 days between MJ’s birth and the accident on the set of the Pepsi Commercial, and exactly 9282 days between that day and his ‘death’.

It seems that these fans cannot accept coincidence, and that this might be a sign from Michael himself. Is it all just a PR stunt? Will he make a huge comeback in a few years’ time, or did he do it to escape money troubles?

The Inca Civilization

I wish we knew more about the rise and fall of the Incas. Being able to develop a city like Machu Picchu buried deep within the Andes Mountains, with engineered lands for farming and massive stone formations, while only lasting for about 85 years before the city was completely abandoned.
