    Oh, no, Germany. Not enough coffee yet to go beyond the pictures.

      Yeah plus this predates the Rome’s founding by a dozen centuries.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        For scale.

        Looks like the handle is only about 5 cm long.

            Is this the find in Israel? They found four Roman swords.

            Word is that they were Roman swords stolen and hidden by judean rebels. Dated to the second revolt. That’s against Hadrian in about 135.

              Ok, a 1937 dollar is equivalent to $21 or so today. Still it’s remarkable.

                    And with the stroke of a pen they rewrote history.

                    No more colonies.

                    If only they remembered to mention reparations for the descendants of the colonists 250 years later.

                    And no more calling names like yanks and chaps.

                            There could also be sex differences on propensity to review books online.

                            It would be interesting to see this normalized by total number of reviews by genre. You’d then see a relative lead among men in most of the non-fiction segments.

                              When are you biologists going to learn?

                              There is no difference.

                                          That's a fine-looking hound.
