The internet is great but contrary to popular belief, alot of information is not available on it (or at least easily accessible). Go to university libraries; you'll find some fascinating books and documents in their archives.
That is true! For example, you can't find anything about the Illyrian god Serbon on the internet! Also I couldn't find the Serbian platoon flag from WWI, the one with St. Andrej on it.
I dunno, the college library did not have the complete internal breakdown of the FN FAL battle rifle, nor did it have the formula and recipe for composition 4.
