We hope all of you, whether you have stayed in the city or have traveled to spend the holiday with loved ones, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. While, for many people, Thanksgiving is about the bounty of food, football games, or the start of the holiday shopping season, it's also a good opportunity to appreciate your life. The History Channel has an extensive website about the history of Thanksgiving (with video). Scholastic's school-children-targeted......

Every year the American Museum of Natural History unveils their unique take on holiday decor and their answer to the Rockefeller Center tree...the origami tree! Last year the tree had a safari theme, and this year it reflects the museum's current Mythic Creatures exhibit. This year there's also a three-headed dragon wrapped around it, like garland, which was made of 10,000 Interlocking pieces of paper! 16,000 members of OrigamiUSA made all of this happen, and......

Ooohh... In 1905, when the original Police Headquarters was being built at 240 Centre Street, the NYPD may have buried a time capsule under a cornerstone, in hopes of it being opened on May 6, 2005. However, the posh co-op which now occupies 240 Centre Street is against, well, busting through some granite for what could be a wild goose chase. The president of the co-op board, Arthur Emil, says, "My answer is, 'No.' There......

The Presidents of the United States Interesting fact: there have been only thirteen presidents who have served eight or more years in office. I think the reason that no one can remember any 19th century presidents besides Lincoln is that they all served four year terms. George Washington (1789-97) Thomas Jefferson (1801-09) James Madison (1809-17) James Monroe (1817-25) Andrew Jackson (1829-37) Ulysses S. Grant (1869-77) Theodore Roosevelt (1901-09) Woodrow Wilson (1913-21) Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-45)......
