Re: Ming chinese had Swiss watches
Er....wasn't this virtually the plot line from Michael Crichton's book, Timeline?
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.

Wouldn't know. I try to stay away from fiction. But that proves impossible in practice: when I watch the news.
