From the pile dwelling settlement of Nußdorf-Maurach, Überlingen, Lake Constance. The damp environment has preserved it in good condition.

It's 42, we told you. Stop asking.

I think the writers just couldn't bear it.

Calling Schliemann and archaeologist is an insult to archaeologists. He didn't care about doing anything but finding treasure and he just dug down, throwing everything important into the spoil heap, until he found gold. And then decided it had to be Priam's gold even though he was absolutely wrong. He did similar things in Greece. He should not be celebrated.

I don't know that you could necessarily develop the wheelbarrow without first having the concept of the wheeled cart.

Wheeled carts are not very practical without draught animals to pull them. And the one place they had animals like that, in South America, llamas and the civilizations that utilized them lived in the mountains where wheeled carts aren't practical either.

They say that Native Americans never developed the wheel. They clearly did. For sick dog skateboard tricks.

Rest in peace in peace?

I have. Fire ants. It's not something I would recommend.

I just spent 5 minutes on Google because I misread your first line as 'rips sock bong hit' and I was trying to figure out what the hell a sock bong was.

When I was 7, my family took a trip to Italy. We went to the Vatican. While we were there, we discovered a little side door that was open and went inside. Inside were a dozen gold carriages used to carry Popes before they got cars. At 7 years old, I asked my parents why they didn't sell these and feed starving kids in Africa. Even a little kid can see the injustice.

That took me way too long to figure out.

Tomatoes can be grown pretty successfully indoors. Also prickly pear.
