Some of the most interesting discoveries about mummies have been made in the 20th century by scientists studying the bodies for evidence of disease. As far back as 1909, mummy tissue was dissected and showed evidence in the royal Egyptian families of smallpox, kidney disease, black lung, hardening of the arteries, and arthritis. In 1960, through x-ray examination of many wrapped mummies, orthodontist-scientist James E. Harris and archaeologist Kent R. Weeks confirmed those findings and reached a few of their own.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

I never registered at Koreabridge....although my old friend Oy Veder did spend a lot of time taking messages back and forth to Arch and Stevie.

I haven't heard from him in a while. :lol:

I once saw a list of sports head injuries at an A&E based on frequency.
Tops was football, followed by cricket and at the end one parachutist.

I think they rarely land head first.....and when they do it's because their chute didn't open and they have bigger problems than concussions.

Rich -

Freethinking created not only the train but also, previously, the boat.

I've noticed that Das Klub's default behavior, when faced with

Out of the Box Thinking,

Reverts to the equivalent of

"This subject has been derailed,

And you are banned."

Nest ce pas?

The only thing I'm interested in eliminating

Is intellectual totalitarianism.

With that in mind, I think this thread

Has had a pretty good and varied run, and perhaps

A pretty good run to go.
