    I'm working on a piece of historical fiction that has alternate history components and I would love to incorporate information from your post on 1/26/2006:
    "The 1936 explosion of the Hindenburg derailed plans for the construction of the 1300-foot long airship von Trapp, which would have held a swimming pool, a 100-seat theater and a bowling alley."
    Can you give the source of this information? I have contacted various organizations and museums all to no avail. Please let me know where you came upon this piece of information or any other information you might have as the the manufacturer or anything else. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

    That Factoid was uncovered by our Factchecker Fred. Tragically, Fred died in a blender accident not too long after that set of factoids was published. (Some refer to it as a tequila accident but he was buried before a toxicology test could be performed.) While Gullible.Info is 100% sure we own the research Fred had done on our behalf, his estate is contending that the estate is the rightful owner of his research and our attorneys have advised us to not reveal any information Fred had gathered until this suit is resolved.

    Some people blame there's a woman to blame, but I know...

    It's Fred's damn fault.

    I was being so good and not mentioning it. I was really trying not to smite anyone today - it's a kinder, gentler Athene (but just for today...)

    You're welcome. Do it again, and I'll have no choice but to unleash my wrath and smite the heck out of you!
