  1. This is beautiful! What is this from, the Aeneid? Perhaps I must procure a copy of this wonderful document

    Lol can it possibly taste worse than that modern artificial cherrry? (YUCK!) aspirin is pretty bad when it dissolves in your mouth, but the cough syrup is infinitely worse. artificial cherry+menthol= :*****: I hadn't known that wormood was used in modern wines, except for absinthe (which isn't really wine now is it?) because of wormwood's poisonous nature. [edit]HEY that's no fair! The board's emoticon is censored! LOL
  8. I can't believe I missed this site!!! www.museumreplicas.com is top notch! I've seen their stuff, it's great. www.badgerblades.com has gotten good reviews as well. They have an awesome guarantee on thier stuff, and I hear it's really great. As for damascus, well there is decent modern pattern welded material available. (My mentor knows how to make it, I may learn to ) however there is some "damascus" available that is junk, and will literally fall apart in your hand. I think the key is the price, if you can get a damascus knife for $5 chances are it will fall apart. Good pattern welded (Damascus) steel goes for hundreds of $$ usually.
  9. Sounds like he may have had someone specific in mind, but any emporers (still living past or present or even future) can say "He dedicated it to ME!!!" and Vegetius avoids trouble because the emporer can't not like whoever he chose to dedicate it to

    Am I the only weird person who thinks that horehound actually tastes GOOD?? or is it just that I've gotten used to taking the tincture either on a spoon of sugar or straight so I have "aquired a taste for it".
  11. You don't need a "back to top" button on the page Just hit the "home" button on your keyboard, and you zip back to the top of the page withing nanoseconds
  12. 5'8" isn't THAT small (I'm 5'7". granted, I do feel short when trying to reach things at work, I have to stand on a crate) I really don't think that the ancient Romans were that small, however it is widely believed (possibly due to archeological finds, I'm not sure)
  13. That's so cool! When I have more time I'll have to read it
  14. I heard that they decided that Pluto could remain a planet. This debate has been going on for years. It seems they thought Pluto may be an escaped moon. How does a moon escape?
  15. Most of those Pennsylvania hits are probably from me
  16. lol so could I we could work together. We both use different programs, so maybe we could come up with something
  17. No, not this time. actually i had today off.
  18. It seems to mean "this is a stickup" Actually, I have no idea. I've never seen this before. That is interesting though.
  19. Being thrown off of the Tarpaian Rock was the punishment for a Vestal Virgin who broke her vow of chastity. It was also the punishment for patricide, I believe, to be put in a bag with a dog and a chicken (what those creatures have anything to do with anything I have no clue) and thrown off the rock. This was supposed to symbolize being "un-born" since if you killed your father, you could not have been born.
  20. This has already been discussed very in depth Here Hope that helps
  21. Yes lol IE is evil. EVIL! It's slow, clumsy, and insecure. Firefox is easier to use and greatly increases the speed of your internet.
