Lord, a guy can't even tie one on anymore without city council having to call a meeting. They'll make him see a shrink and join AA and be treated like the town drunk.

Washington, DC comes to mind.

Puts a whole new spin to the old line "would you like to come up and see my etchings?"

Interesting article. I remember seeing something about Flag Fen on Time Team several years ago.

http://johnhawks.net/node/2009 I found this very interesting. I'm gonna order the book. I also found his site quite interesting, he has a lot of links, even though some are kinda old. Keep us posted on the book, I have already added it to my wish list. Aleady have too many unread books to think abo...

My bet is on however long it takes the cat to leap six feet.

Great, just as long as nothing comes up older than 12,000 years. Cuz if they do, the fundies will be screaming.

Very interesting, and quite possibly one of the major keys in the evolutionary process. I've always wondered what drove one species to rapid change, while another barely changes at all. Now, maybe there is an answer to that. Me too. It may also explain the vast diversity in humans. But I would hate...

During the "cold war" people around here worried about someone bombing Oak Ridge (just up the road a spell.) Now if this thing blows; according to the maps, we here in Tennessee will be right in the path. I know I should have stayed in Los Angeles, all I had to worry about there -- earthqu...

Only those of us who have to work, Min. And some of us don't have to crawl, we sit in our little cubicles and it just falls on us.

Sounds a lot like "Holmberg's Mistake." The idea that the natives left no footprint on the land, because they could not control their environment. That they were mainly passive people with no history. According to him all natives were simple, gental people living in a form of paradise.

I watched that program this afternoon. Question: In order to have something like a "tunnel" don't you have to have something it goes through. Don't you need walls ceilings and a floor to drag the blocks on. How did that stuff get there and why bother to make a tunnel to build something alr...
