"There is so much stuff out there that doesn’t conform to those things that we were brought up to believe it makes my head spin."

Yup. Very, very interesting.

I have taken something of a sabbatical from the subject for the last year or so...It tugs me back every once in a while but not with the same dedication as before.

It has been years since I saw it I must add it to my Christmas list. My fave episode is the one where you had these British punk rockers but they were punk rockers who were so punk they dressed like business men. I can’t remember the details. Also, my favorite is the one where they do a remote broadcast in an audio store and they get held up and a telephone repair man had this funny line about a monopoly but that is all I remember.

Columbus was fortunate to be the individual who got here after the European invention of the printing press. He could spread the word of his discovery and others could respond. The Vikings settled for awhile, but went home.

A chicken with a tailwind could make it!

Would that be a ladened or unladened chicken?

Or chickens found Polynesia before Captain Cook.

Chickens found Captain Cook?
I thought he was killed in Hawaii by gentler, kinder natives...

Take a good look at different Indians ~ the Chinese made it to America, stayed here, thrived, [forgot their language, even forgot they were Chinese,] built their own civilizations, end of story

There.
Fixed it for you.

I figure that Polynesian chickens found it! They haven’t found any Polynesian human bones, have they?
