A couple of years ago, after reading Walter Raleigh’s classic poetry piece, The Soul’s Errand, I was convinced that only three cities exist; heaven, hell, earth and death is the train that runs across them.
My philosophy is the yield of a keen interest I took in this death. Not because it is such a tremendously intriguing phenomenon or that I enjoy the grim and grotesque but because it is largely inexplicable and downright confusing and men have trouble living with what they don’t understand. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I discovered these nail biting facts about it.

  1. Hitler married Eva Braun less than 40 hours before they both died.
