Titanic artifacts to be preserved for the public?

Apparently there's a judge somewhere out there who really cares about preservation. The massive collection of artifacts taken from the Titanic have been in ownership dispute since they were first removed, and right now U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith is working to settle the dispute and keep the collection together and available to the public. Apparently they're working with RMST Inc., the company that took the artifacts in the first place. Hopefully everyone can reach an agreement so that private collectors won't swoop in and ruin this important collection of history.

The Bard

This story has been a fantasy of mine for years now, and now someone's stolen it: family looks at a painting, thinks it looks like a copy of one they've owned for centuries, and finds out that the guy in the painting is SHAKESPEARE.

The Scarlet Pimpernel online

For the Marie Antoinette-ophiles out there, I have found this link of greatness: Like Television, a site that uploads old movies and tv that are currently in the public domain so that everyone can watch them. The rest of the titles are totally worth checking out, but of special interest is the original 1934 version of The Scarlet Pimpernel, starring Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon.

I'm not sure what this is, but it's amazing.
