We bring you the latest edition of the amazing TBB Best of Web links: We learn about the Roman Empire, scare you silly about the coming plague, freak out on what actually happens when a nuclear bomb goes off in NYC, visit the Galapagos Islands and shake our heads to oblivion when we go inside the biggest Crypto scandal and we end it with several World Club pics and a gif!

40 maps that explain the Roman Empire
I do not do clickbait crap here with moronic type incidents that only serve a purpose to attract clicks. From morons. THINK before you click on something! Every click you give only invites the blogger to post more of the same crap!
Having said that, this link serves the “Educate” part of my blog mission in a superb way. You WILL learn a lot about the Roman Empire! Learning is good for you and it is good for humanity too!
Bookmark it. Share it with your kids and get them interested in history. Which was my favorite subject in school. After geography.
The Next Plague Is Coming. Is America Ready?
After learning so much history in the previous link, maybe you should bookmark this one too. In essence, we are NOT ready! It is a fascinating piece of journalism. Which is NOT the enemy of the people, come on!
Fascinating facts about fighting Ebola on the ground too…And all the other scares in recent years.
Hey, I only post material on Sundays that blow me away.
With the current US administration being, how shall I put this, not very science friendly, it doesn’t help this cause…At least we will have plenty of thoughts and prayers, sad!
This Is What a Nuclear Bomb Looks Like
Well, this Sunday edition of the TBB Best of Web has sure taken a darker tone. After millions of bodies through the history of the Roman Empire we moved on to plague and other pandemics. So, why stop there? Lets see how it will feel when a nuke goes off in New York City. Spoiler: Not good!
Actually, the article is really great explaining what ACTUALLY happens when the unthinkable happens. But I feel so much safer now that Trump made a deal with the North Koreans to denuclearize and walked out of the Iran nuke treaty. That last sentence was a joke, come on!
Travel to the Galapagos Islands With a Watercolor Artist
Enough with the depressing articles already TBB! I had you guys right where I wanted to…Abusing my Amazon link ordering emergency supplies and stuff to stash away in your bunker. Lol!
This is very unique. It appeared in National Geographic. You will learn a lot about Galapagos Islands. And it will make you smile. And if you have young kids they will love it. I think.
HT blog reader: A ( to A: is this okay? Let me know how you would like it to appear. Or not).
Inside the Crypto World’s Biggest Scandal
Wow, what a story! I write a lot about this crypto stuff here to warn readers that it is most likely a bubble and they should not risk your own hard earned money speculating with this stuff!
Reading this story, it makes me sad. Obviously, some of these people are smart and could be doing more constructive things and contributing to society. And so many are just plain GREEDY!
Lets have some World Cup funny pics next because this TBB Best of Web, I must admit, was a little on the down side lol.

MMS staffer just reviewed a hotel toilet…I give up
Just as bad as bloggers who show pictures of toilets in first class..or their 1000 photos of him/her drinking champagne #sosaditsfunny
‘I remember the first time I was in a house that had a urinal. It was a complete reset of what I thought I wanted for my life.’
….. which was, clearly, a job reviewing toilets.
This guy…
Passenger Head Butts a Flight Attendant Before Being Put in a Choke Hold – View From The Wing
I think Spain can be beaten but it will not be Russia.
And I am going with Croatia…
Whatever you say, George… 🙂
Terrific articles this morning! Thank you.
Thank you for reading and commenting!
When they go low
Passenger Sees Their Cat Running Across Tarmac While Waiting to Take Off – VIEW FROM THE WING
you go high and stay high TBB, thanks for the great articles again.
I have too much respect for myself and my readers to do such ridiculous clickbait “content”! He would not be doing this if it was not for the clicks. He probably checks them several times daily!
FullMoon loves the Galapagos link.
FullMoon also says: Belgium.
I think it is wide open!
These Danes never go down easy. I thought Croatia did not have a good game today, lucky to get through.
I loved it how Spain imploded.
I think Croatia will beat Russia easily…but ya never know!
The Lakers???
Just found out…
At least, we won’t see Le Bron in the Finals ever again. Lol.
I did not forgive the guy for The Decision until he delivered the championship to Cleveland. Other than that, is there any surprise he went to the biggest TV market?
I think the Pistons have a shot for the playoffs now?
“Or take the example of airline miles, a form of private currency that is constantly debased by its issuers. It makes little sense to commit to an airline’s loyalty program if one year a domestic flight is 35,000 miles and the next year it’s 70,000.”
Even a Wired reporter who probably doesn’t know much about FFPs understands that loyalty is dead and buried.
Love the Roman Empire stuff and the NYC Bomb was horrific..Thanks, George from all us NYC readers, for that cheerful post right before fireworks of the 4th 😉
However, you did warn.
PS: haven’t seen a good bar post in a while
I know when I open your blog that I need to prepare for at least an hour of reading. Your links are to articles I haven’t seen and need to read. Love your posts! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Check out today’s Best Of Web post too.
