Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the explanation.

It says, "Stop wasting your time. Get a life."

I thought the sun wheel had four spokes instead of six, like a chariot wheel. At least, from what I've seen, most wheel coins from Thrace to Gaul had four spokes, which I assume is for a sun god who rides a chariot.

GO, it's an autostereogram.

A Ptolemaic world map created by Nicolaus Germanus, derived from Geographia, has the label 'Scithia' in the area of modern Kazakhstan, with 'Sarmacia' in the areas north of the Black Sea.

Who the hell is Viggin? Happy Birthday!

It must suck to be old. Happy Birthday, dude!

Smoke what?

It's raining here.

Athenian ostracism!!

If this law passes, you'll still have the same activity. People will find a way around it. I would find a way around it. Now instead of having sexual predators as criminals, you have website operators as criminals. I'm almost dumbfounded that some imbecile actually thinks this would work. Then again, I personally can't rule out other agendas unrelated to sexual predators. Laws like this would only be able to be enforced if the 'verified permissions' were verified by a state or federal government. In addition to information collected on each child attending a state school, this could continue the chain of precedents allowing information to be collected and compiled for each person. Ironically, this is all in the name of protection of rights, the government's supposed role.

I'd pick Fox over Wild Cat There are several topics that I'm aware of. My type is INTJ, borderlining on INTP. http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3820 http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1649 http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1233

The Skystone by Jack Whyte, and perhaps The Singing Sword. Set in early fifth century Britain.

Very nice!

Thanks

Fox or Wild Cat here.

One thing that always interested me was the incredible tenacity of early Rome in the face of apparent defeats; specifically during the Pyrrhic and Punic Wars. The disaster at Camarina and subsequent recovery, or the modern use of the term 'Pyrrhic victory', exemplify this admirable strength, at least to me.

This stuff has been permanently seared into my brain, I could probably freehand sketch the hard quiz.

There are some movies which, if taken seriously, are absolutely horrible. This isn't one of the movies that should be taken seriously.

"Celt" is good for ambiguous generalizations based on language and sometimes culture (discounting the 'Celtic' person in your local head shop). Anything more is sure to start rabid semantic sophistry and exasperated slapping of foreheads. The word is about as specific as "Indo-European." Using regional or tribal names would probably make discussions more fruitful, IMO.

Moon, that is what I should be. I agree that H is pretty vanilla but R1b is Western Atlantic European. Irish or Iberian? My paternal ancestry is fairly interesting. Originates in 16th century France, migrates to England, marries into Scottish, and settles in County Meath Ireland after Cromwell's Irish Campaign, before migrating to America.

You made my day.

Both my parents did the National Geographic test. I'm haplogroup H maternally and haplogroup R1b paternally. I'm plain vanilla European, which I already knew, and it didn't give any specifics about genetic variation, though things might be more interesting if you have some strange genetics like Mr. Jefferson.
