The Hesse line shows a pattern of divorces and unmorganatic matches, with Wilhelm of Hesse and Maria Augusta among those who divorced.

World petroleum supply argues volcanic origin claim
K Coste of the Canadian Mining Institute argues in a paper that world petroleum deposits originate from volcanic activity. He counters the geology consensus that deposits come from organic remains, noting rapid decomposition, timing in Silurian and Carboniferous layers, and the impossibility of widespread coal-to-petroleum transformation. The piece includes unrelated ads for Kenedy remedies and Rocky Mountain Tea.
