Lovely nice comment Dick My setting of a Monkey trap may have shown a little arrogance the total failure of anyone to recognize even one item on the test including a mammoth tooth however shows much more about you.
At the end of the day lack of the ability to recognize basic items sort of shouts look at me i read a magazine once.
I collected and worked on sites for ten years before i went to university to my horror after the first six months i realised i didnt know as much as i thought i did.
The abilty to understand this made me continue my studies it must be nice to be a ready made expert Dick do you diagnose your own medical conditions too??.
Well i tried there not enough knowledge here to waste my time on have fun folks and remember if you dont know the answers just guess o silly me that is your plan isnt it .bye.

Hi Terry - I've no problem with you calling me Dick since this was my nickname for 18 years, but I guess you are insinuating a little more?

Did I ever make any comments on the subject of the items you showed? What can you deduce or infer from that Sherlock Holmes?

Go on - keep sticking your foot in your mouth, I am finding this quite amusing :lol:

As for recognising mammoth teeth - I pointed out similar to my children recently at Kents Cavern in photos and then of casts.

What exactly are you testing apart from our patience and tolerance?

I see you have removed your website address from your profile - yeah must been kind of embarassing... still I bookmarked it anyway and saved a copy for my records.

There were French, and German, and Roman, and Russian, and Mongolian, and Chinese, and Japanese, etc. etc., rulers with exactly the same condition: delusions of grandeur, a.k.a. a superiority syndrome, or a "God complex".

History isn't very kind to those.
