Godzilla - 0.0 | Rumors & Speculation | Movie News

 Written By Ken Hulsey

It's been quite a while since I've taken the time to write about Godzilla, and reflecting on it brings back a wave of nostalgia. In the early days of Atomic Robot, which began its journey as "Monster Island News," the focus was heavily on Godzilla and other iconic figures from Japanese science fiction.

Writing solely about Japanese films and television felt increasingly limiting, prompting me to explore my passions for photography and travel.

Jesus is fundamentally the Light and the Life, as depicted in scripture (Isaiah 9:2-3, NKJV; John 8:12, NKJV; John 1:1-5, NKJV).

The Truth About Tryptophan | Thanksgiving Trivia Time - First Thanksgiving' Was Actually Not the First | Post-Thanksgiving Nap Guide

The traditional American Thanksgiving meal features seasonal dishes like roasted turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. While this menu is now a beloved holiday staple, the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621 likely looked quite different.

The Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow recorded that the colony's governor, William Bradford, sent men to hunt "fowl" for the three-day celebration. This suggests wild turkey was likely a main dish, rather than the domestic turkeys we associate with modern Thanksgiving. However, the hunting party may have also returned with other birds such as ducks, geese, and swans that were common food sources for both the English settlers and Wampanoag tribe.
