Pff. You call that flying?

We have a really good aquarium store in this town, so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks!

I love that show. Who knew Norwegians could make such funny comedy in English?

Do you think I could create an ecosphere with ghost shrimp and a marimo moss ball? I've had that idea for a long time, but I don't know if it's viable.

It was larger than any of the European capitals in its day.

Brought peace?

Oh like you can hit reverse.esrever tih nac uoy ekil hO

I remember it was in the new books section of the school library and I was attracted to it immediately and spent the day reading it instead of paying attention in my classes. I need to read it again. Thanks for bringing it up!

I read that ages ago. Back in high school, in fact (I'm 46). I don't remember it except the chapter where time is a flock of birds that you have to try to catch to stay youthful. The children can catch them but always let them go and the adults can never catch them.

Mindblowing. I never even thought of things that way!

They discovered an ancient movie theater right next to it.

I agree, the article should have. I was speaking in generalities about the community.

No offense meant here, but I think it is fair to either know or figure out archaeological terms yourself if you're going to be reading articles, even lay articles, in an archaeology community, not to expect them to be defined each time.

I agree that in this case, since it is the main subject of a lay article, it should have been defined, but I don't think it should be expected to be defined.

Anyway, the photos are quite impressive.

I watched this whole series (Minuteman's, not Hancock's) when it came out and it's terrific. I really enjoyed it.

That's actually smaller than I would have thought. I wouldn't have expected our solar system to even be visible in comparison.

They do appear to be similar to me. They have the spout at the back.

Maybe so. I don't think it's evidence that anarchy is the best solution, just that neolithic societies without hierarchies were still able to achieve amazing things.

But it's not like they were making cars and computers, this is a drainage system. It's very impressive for stone age people, but they are still stone age people.

Wow.

Mercury arc valves remain in use in some South African mines and Kenya (at Mombasa Polytechnic - Electrical & Electronic department).

Amazing how we're still using such old technology in some places when we have semiconductors.

That said, a microscope that generates its own light without electricity could be quite useful...
