Oh damn. I think I'll download and watch that after the game. I'm quite hooked onto this series called Ancient Aliens from the History Channel, which tries to proves that aliens visited humans in the past and helped us build monuments like the pyramids in Egypt. Really interesting stuff.
I've seen one of those episodes, with cooks who think that the Pyramids were actually built 12,000 years ago, or at least the foundations. Why? Because if you map out the topology of the various building sites and you compute the position of certain celestial bodies as they would have appeared at that time from that vantage point, they coincide. Behold, the proof! This is the same kind of people who read the Bible and try to find "secret messages" in it.

It's a travesty that a channel that calls itself the History Channel is peddling this stuff.

Interesting? Sure, why not. Amusing too. But presenting it as science is another story of bad science.

Are you pretending to be picky now? You've never complained when you were licking Sheik's vagina.
No, she's not my type & i don't like women that leave their homes with a smelly vagina. Sheik's vagina smells like cologne, big difference.

Byrone and I would like to join you. Do you have space?
I hope there's an electric blanket to keep us warm & cosy.
