The Seven Cisterns are the earthly portals to the underword/afterlife. They are: The Black Cistern located outside of Ougostovich, Azerbaijan, which is protected by a trio of double-headed eagles; The Blood Cistern, deep in the innermost secret parts of the Vatican; The Iron Cistern, located deep in the darkest jungles of Tanzania, and guarded by a gorilla that was the inspiration for both Tarzan and King Kong; The Silver Cistern, located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean near Pangolea, and guarded by a kraken; The Green Cistern, located in the heart of Death Valley and guarded by a humanoid creature composed entirely of waves of heat; The Ruby Cistern, recently moved to Hollywood and standing about a block from the Chinese Theater’s Walkway of the Stars, and guarded by a guy named Guido; and The Traveling Cistern, which vanishes each night and appears each morning in a different city in Indonesia, and is guarded by a score of soulless, staring children. ---

William Henry Harrison, famous for dying a mere month into his Presidency, actually accomplished quite a bit during that month. With the help of the Senate, he initiated a huge tax cut for the upper 1%, built a wall on the Western frontier to keep out Native Americans (murderers and rapists), and attempted to buy Greenland from Denmark. Legend has it that Harrison died of pneumonia, but in fact was murdered by his former mistress, a Washington porn star. ---
