I am guessing that the iron dagger buried with Tutankhamun was a gift from the Hittites.

That new/old GGG graphic reminds me of the new Star Trek movie for some crazy reason . . .

I’ve been trying to work the Bab5 wannabee into the logo, but so far, bupkis. Where’s the graphics generator for him, anyway?

Not relevant, I just really enjoyed this:

Thanks ThanhPhero, OldNavyVet, and 2001convSVT!

If I weren’t so blamed lazy, I’d hunt down the FR topic links about Tutankhamen’s meteoritic glass doodads.

Thanks C. Imagine, a forgotten empire that revolved around hitting people and cruel childhood games. ;’) “Stop Hittite yourself! Stop Hittite yourself!”

LOL!

There are potential drawbacks to saying that to ZQ, but anyway...

So, would this new/old GGG ping message drive you to distraction?

No, I love it.
Thanks for all the pings Civ!

If that iron fell from space, that makes earth the ironing board, don’t it?

Or like your thick shag carpet after the iron falls from the ironing board.
