To Catherine, Regarding the Absurdities of the California Gold Rush, 1849, by Matthew Brian Cohen

by | March 18th, 2013

My Dearest Catherine,

We are heading by caravan to San Francisco, ready to mine for gold. Everyone is telling wild tales about how much gold there is in the city, but I don’t know how much I believe that. As you know, I've always been pretty level-headed. I mean, if there is gold, I’ll be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not pinning my hopes to it.

by | August 6th, 2012

Hello there, dear Splitsider reader. We're Tim Daniels and Tom Reynolds and we host a podcast called The Complete Guide to Everything, which is now part of the Splitsider Podcast Network. Since this is our first episode on Splitsider, we thought we'd take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and explain what our podcast is all about. Every week we tackle a new topic and talk about it, in an effort to vanquish Wikipedia as the definitive guide to all world knowledge. The catch is we really don't do much in the way of "research," you see. So, you probably won't learn anything, except that we're jealous of teenagers, we're [...]
