By the way, is there any chance of altering this subforum so the most recently posted-in threads appear at the top of the menu?

They already do WA, but the "stickies" stay at the top. They'll come down at Michelle's discretion.

It's the first time we've had stickies here, so it can be a little confusing.

Whoops. You're right.

Where is Dr. Schoch? Apparently a split has occurred between he and Colette, his former significant other.

Scroll to the bottom of this url page to see. It seems that she even got the website.

Note to Min.....I checked the images of the ultrasound that you sent me.
I disagree with the dating of the age of the fetus (in weeks). Image #6 convinces me that the fetus is younger than stated.

However, it appears healthy and well developed.

Thank you.

Certainly well developed!

Happy New Year Archaeologica.

And I'm glad the Holidays are over.

Have you started tipping the glass to each time zone this year Beags?

You should be up to Iceland by now, eh? (and about iced yourself)

Oh, I wish that were true. It would be in years gone by. Now my son is out celebrating and we are watching my grandson. He has just gone to bed and I'll have a nip of something very soon.

Getting old is a bitch.....but it beats the alternative.

"Woodstock" is for sale. It can be had for 8 million. The article is nostalgic and has a good photo gallery. It's actually a real estate listing.

We don't have a psychedelic icon.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A disabled U.S. spy satellite is likely to break into small pieces when it falls to Earth within weeks, posing little danger to humans, U.S. government officials and space experts said on Monday.

Most, if any, debris that survives the intense heat of re-entry would likely fall into the oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the Earth, White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.

But he said the U.S. government was monitoring the satellite's descent from orbit and examining different options to "mitigate any damage."

And how would they "mitigate any damage" I wonder?

I think they blew a big opportunity.
This would have been a great target for a "hunter" satellite if they had not told the world of the target coming down.

Crash it into a Blue State?

Can I just put in a gentle hint about crack of dawn posts?

Because I'm in the UK, I'm usually well into my day when you guys generally come on stream. But I think some of you may have a habit of checking your emails before cleaning your teeth, let alone having a coffee and starting to feel somewhat human again. And while in this pre-human state, some of you reply to my earlier posts and - how can I put this - it sometimes feels like being snapped at by a grouchy old man, particularly when you've read the post too quickly through your blurry, sleep-filled eyes and got the wrong end of the stick.

I'm not naming any names - you know who you are!
