Charlton Heston is awesome, just sayin. :P ^isn't here^
*wants to know who Charlton Heston is, but since you're not here I guess I can't ask. :P*
^an actor who played Judah Ben-Hur and also Moses, and was a gun rights activist, and I think campaigned for Rick Green a long time ago, or something like that. xP^
^*thought you weren't here...*^

Don't say that! She might really leave. xP

^Nathan Hale is awesome too. But let's just stop there when it comes to spies.^

^Haha! I actually know who that is, but you probably know more about him. :P^

An Agatha Christie book. ;)
It sounds familiar, haven't read them though. How do you find good books nowadays anyway? Most modern girl books are romantic sentimentals, and most modern guy books are violent and bloody. :/
You go back and read all the old ones.... xP xP ^or sometimes read textbooks.... :P^
Yea, that's what I do. Pretty much all of the books I've read were written before 1900. Have you read _Ben Hur_?
Yep. I read a lot from the 20's and 30's. :P No, I have not, but I've seen 2 different movies.... xP
Yes, 20s and 30s as well. Pretty much before the 60s ruined most literature. :P We saw the trailer for a new Ben Hur movie....*shudders*...awful. :P
How many are there? I saw the original one and an animation we used to have on VHS. Okay... raise your hand if your family still has VHS tapes.... xP xP
Not sure. It's a new one...and it's pretty violent. (ugh..) *raises hand* I know we do, but the only ones I can think of are the "learn your alphabet sounds" ones from decades ago that are lying in the basement. xP
Aw, that's too bad. Hehe, we would still use them if we hadn't moved....I still use cassette tapes. xP xP
Yea. :/ Lol what do you still use them for?
Lot's of stuff. xP I used floppy disks too until we moved. xP *waits to hear little siblings ask what floppy disks are*
Lol! *tries to remember the last time I used either of those* Pretty much like 100% of my school is on the computer now. Btw I did respond to your email, after getting distracted 1000 times by Memverse. xP
Hehe. I answered you too, but then my email glitched and erased the whole thing. So I'll answer it again. :P

Lol okay. a very slight nudge to anyone else who hasn't responded to my emails yet jk xP

Nathan Hale?!? So I'm not the only one who loves Revolutionary War spy stories? xD

^Well, I'm trying to leave… xP^
Eeeekkks, nope, I guess not!! Revolutionary War spy stories are amazzzingggg. xD Have you ever read this little kid's book called George Washington Spy Master? xP

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

Emilyy, don't leave! Stay and tell us all about this book we haven't read! xD

^That's what happened to me earlier today when I tried to leave. Zach said I couldn't leave because it's not fall, and then I tried to run and he asked me if I was an engine! xP^ Ahem.

Anyways, no, I don't think I have! What's it about? I actually have not read a ton of old spy stories, but I loved the ones I read. xD

^Nathan Hale is awesome too. But let's just stop there when it comes to spies.^
^Haha! I actually know who that is, but you probably know more about him. :P^

^Quite probable, since I was working on writing a paper on his life, and found this book that was like "all public information available on the life of Nathan Hale" which was like 700 something pages long, and, read, I'd say probably most of it. Along with a lot of other stuff I could find, and audio books and stuff.^

xPxP It's about the Revolution from a spying perspective, it has stuff about Nathan Hale and John Andre, and some other less familiar people. People who had to quarter soldiers and listened in on their conversations and reported it to the patriots, the (I know I'm so going to spell this wrong…) Calper spy ring… Benjamin Tamladge's (again…spelling…) code… a lot of partial stories, and legends because people don't really go about saying "oh hey, yeah, so I was a spy…" =P ;P

How very random that you thought that random thought was random! xP ^Okay, this is starting to sound a lot like a "conversation" I had with Marija on here, except that it was with the word "suspicious", not "random" xP xP lol^

Agreed. :D That they're willing to risk their lives to defend their country…and that spying was considered so dishonorable, spies would be hung and not shot because being shot was more honorable. xP And then how bravely they face death too…

It's pretty short, and written more for kids/younger teenagers I'd guess. But it has a lot of really awesome information. And codes and stuff hid in the book. xD

Me either. xP But even people like Andre and Arnold are very interesting to learn about…and see what made them make the decisions they did… Do you know about the pre-traitor Benedict Arnold? No, I don't!

Exactly! Even if I don't agree with their cause, I still admire courage and loyalty, always. :D Do you know much about Dietrich Bonhoeffer? That's my favorite spy story ever. xD

No, I don't know much about the pre-traitor Arnold! What was he like? :P And Emily Geiger volunteered to carry a message through British lines… i can't remember much of her story, but basically she got caught and then, while the British went to get a lady to search her, she memorized the message, ripped it up, and swallowed it.
