I saw a program om “The History Channel” about the largest battle ever fought in Britain.

Most people including me had never heard of it. They examined some of the bones etc. from the mass grave.

A few things surprised me. First they had excellent teeth. Second their diet was better than ours. They somehow calculated that from testing bones.

“In the Journal Parasitology”

Huh.

A magazine about parasites.

Bernie Sanders is an editor.

These pics look like the parasites, not the feces.

Listen, if you want to see pictures of turds, go look at the Harvard Faculty Directory.

Just random question: why does eastern England have freshwater (as opposed to saltwater) marshes? I know that historically they were periodically inundated by seawater; maybe even in more recent times, during big storms. Why are they not salty?

Is it because of high rainfall in the upland areas, causing a whole lot of freshwater pouring down toward the North Sea and the English Channel?

Is it affected by possibly (I'm guessing) great rivers like the Rhine and others, also dumping water into the North Sea and the English Channel, making them less saline (?) than the water of the open Atlantic?

Someone enlighten me, please.

Hey!

We’re having a serious discussion about English turds here!

Don’t come busting into this discussion with your questions about water!

You want to know about water?

It’s wet.

Why is it salty?

Because giants make Margaritas in the English Channel.

That’s why.

Must have been before the Great Anti-Dentite purges.
