I'm a big history buff and when I did some browsing on reddit, there was a thread where users would post awesome historic pics and videos with cool stuff from WWII and so on.  So I figured: why not do the same here (with a bit of a twist of course)?   In this thread, you can share any pictures and videos (MMA related or not, of course) from history that you have seen on the web here; as well as some background information on your post (if you so choose to).

Two caveats: 1.)  Keep it as SFW as you possibly can. 2.)  Try to avoid double posting the same pics.  I only ask of this, just so that we can keep the thread fresh and interesting.  (Note to the mods and admins:  If you feel that there is any guidelines that should be added to keep this thread from violating any specific rules to cause it to be removed, please add input.)

With that said, have fun and post away.

Here is also Stephen King's house in Bangor, Maine.  I believe his main house is in Florida now, though.
