| French Revolution |
| So much can be said about the French Revolution, but we really don't have space for all of that information, so I will skip much of the intrigue and solidification of factions and give just the basics of this highly complex event, and hopefully, the reader will be spurred to read more about it. |

| When Does Paranormal Become Normal? |
| We use the word "paranormal" in reference to things that are outside the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. Its prefix (para) is derived from the Latin for "outside" or "against," so a paranormal experience is one that is outside the realm of scientific understanding. |
