Forum Monk asked: If the writing was on the wall and no one could read except the priviledged, then why go to the trouble of encoding knowledge of PI, or show knowledge of planetary orbits in ratios of the size of objects in egyptian art or why encode knowledge of precession in the physical design o...

Forum Monk wrote re the pyramids You don't spend thousands of manhours to design and build secret messages. You put it right up front where people can see it. Not necessarily.

The AE were smart enough to use boomerangs when bird hunting, so I see no reason why those who carved the throwing sticks would not also carve birds. We know they carved them in stone, but not for flight :) http://mstecker.com/images/egypt/southernnile/i60bird.JPG The article says: ''Moreover, they ...

I personally really enjoyed Sin City, so would be happy just to see this film expecting it will be such a treat on the eye (and I don't just mean oiled muscles and beefcake thank you very much, I can still look up Dolph Lungren for beefcake and Sugar Ray Leonard for toned muscles when I need that) h...

Ah well that's one way of looking at it

'Hotties' might be more inclined than 'Sweeties' to want to see the honourable, legendary Leonidas (an alleged descendant of Heracles no less!) breaking out into a sweat and dying with his dignified brothers - much better :D Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their law...

Although I've seen worse at the cinema, the only film (yes film not movie!) I walked out of was Armageddon - well I say walked.....my whispered heckling was getting louder in direct proportion to the insults to my intelligence and also it was getting close to last orders at the pub
