Re: Archaeologists need to quit being so quick to…

i expect some members have seen/visited at least some of these places/artifacts. The compiler of the slideshow obviously has not.

Re: NFL “values”

What is the thrill attached to jumping on band wagons - to the exclusion of a moment’s considered thought? The race to the bottom.
