Around the World in 80 Clicks - I just love the way the Internet feeds my need for triva. Take a small news item from the Washington Post about a volcanic eruption in the CNMI. You can quickly get some images of the place and learn more about the local situation. But through the magic of Google you can just as easily learn that Anathan was home to a group of marooned Imperial Japanese hold-outs (30 men and a lone woman) who spent years in isolation not realizing WW2 was over. Moreover, there's even a movie named Anathan based on this true story. Ain't technology grand?
