I doubt they could ever recapture the stench but the plan progresses.
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.

Difficult to see the point. Perhaps the money could be better spent researching what it was actually for ie what actually was it used for most of the time - Mary Beard and others have worked out that it was not used for games for much of its existence

Bingo. Why buy a t-shirt when you can take a photo of yourself there!
