Who needs gunpowder?

Can a swallow carry it?

Why would they go to the great expense, time, and difficulty of carving a stone into a sphere? That wouldn’t seem to make any sense. Just heave raw stones as fast as you can collect them.

OMG. Is that what the Netflix leftist twits call The Rebel King ? Let’s gets it on. Where is my blue paint. Lol.

That was back when English leaders had big balls. Today’s leaders balls are the size of Ping-Pong balls and couldn’t hurt a fly.

Archaeologist Samuel Kinirons shown contaminating an ancient artifact with his own bare hand DNA.

This careless behavior by Archaeologist Samuel Kinirons, sort of makes you doubt many of their conclusions. And he is smiling happy about his carelessness.

Cool, I did not know there were sieges involved in that campaign, very cool!

Now if they could just find that bridge...

It missed..........................

There’s a theory emerging that the cannon ball was dropped over the side by the castle’s keeper, at the menacing horde. He was then heard to say;
“Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time.”

I was concerned about construction on such a historic site, but according to the Scotsman, Branson is converting an existing structure, the India Buildings, and there is some new construction in an open site. The Scots seem warm to the idea.

It's been many years, but our visit to the Castle and the Royal Mile was very interesting and enjoyable.
