Could it in some way refer to the Niger river? Or was that river named much later? (geography is totally not my area of study lol)

It's finally nice out. Finally. I read for 3 hours yesterday, and a little bit today. It was nice all week, but I was trapped in school . they're saying we could get snow again tuesday, but i hope not I'm sick of snow. Sick of it. Good bye, snow. It's 55.2 degrees F here, which is actually warm for North Eastern PA, where in the winter being anywhere above freezing is considered warm. The mountains are beautiful, but best enjoyed in late spring through early fall (the fall leaves around here are SPECTACULAR). My chickens are enjoying the lovely weather, and I managed to rip the end off of my toe going to check on them. Go me. I can't even perform such a mundane task without injuring myself in some way I hope I didn't bleed on the good rug (by "good" rug I mean a probably $10,000 persian/oriental/something wool rug that we got for free. They didn't set the machine up right though, so the pattern looks pretty bad on the one side. Oh well. Mom will be mad if I got blood on it.) BTW why did the Gods make toes so hard to bandage?? I made Irish Potatoes Friday night. Cream cheese+powdered sugar+coconut+cinnamon=one hyper teenager. They are delicious, though difficult and messy to make. We didn't have enough sugar and now the ones at the bottom of the container are all squished and their cream cheese is all coming out!!! My poor potatoes!!! (Yes I am aware that I am a mental reject. I actually do feel bad for them somehow. I'm going to eat them anyway... ) My favorite Sunday night shows are on tonight, except they took off The War at Home (at least for this week) which is ticking me off, because I love that show. And I hope they soon get rid of "Free Ride" because I am seriously missing American Dad. Even a rerun of American Dad is better than Free Ride. At least it's not Arrested Development though

That's a beautiful map, for detail it is supurb, but I gotta say for looks the UNRV map is preferable to me (especially in it's gold poster frame). I don't use it for study anyway, though I enjoy trying to decipher the latin names (I don't know latin and geography isn't my thing lol so it really is a challenge).

Oh, NO! Another dreaded "versus" thread! At least this one is somewhat intelligient. My vote goes for the Roman legions. I'm not a big fan of phalanxes, as they are easily defeated by any good general and not very mobile. The legion formation worked much better and was much more flexible, wheras teh phalanx died out because of it's inflexability and difficulty.

Ty!

I remember my 16th bday. Oh, gods, now you can drive!

That's a nice one. Excellent condition too, as far as I can tell. I want me one of those! lol.
