"I just mislabeled Joe Montana as Joe Namath on another thread."

That wasn't about Montana suing the city of San Francisco for flooding his home with sewage, was it? I saw your post, and just saw this article about his lawsuit:

That may or may not be true. Such weighty matters, I believe, should be left with a panel of experts.
After all, even a King was having difficulty with that one.

I can’t say that I understand the photograph at all. I imagine they will do computer renderings in due time. Amazing find!

About half of my DNA is from England, Wales and northwestern Europe.

Describes me, too, plus Scottish.

Any reader would have noticed they had a mere two hours to dig before the waters came back in.

Probably no way to find out for sure, but it seems somewhat likely. :^)

I don't know how old you are, but one of the benefits of getting old is being able to blame everything on your age.

The Sweden and Denmark DNA boggles my mind as my father was born in Holland, and my mother in Canada. Somebody in my family got around.

It’s a scan of an old map. I’ve checked for a larger image size and alas didn’t find one. Hard to read.

I am sure they made an estimate on the size based on length of span needed and depth of water.

Two hours to dig up, but they would have been idiots not to gather all the information they could before starting the dig.

I’m sure they dug in the place they knew someone had seen the remains before, precisely because they are not idiots.

""Busted, Guilty. ;O(" I don't know how old you are, but one of the benefits of getting old is being able to blame everything on your age.

Well, let's see. I was born in 1956. I grew up with rotary phones, B&W TVs, with rabbit ear antennas, no remote, 4 OTA TV channels, that went off at midnight, no computers, no cell phones, no internet. Research for school work was done with real hard back encyclopedias' and trips to a brick and mortar library. If something note worthy happened anywhere, even down the street, it could take days to find out about it. Music sounded like...music.

So, I'm not young, chronologically speaking. I'll just chalk it up to a, hopefully, rare brain dead moment and plow on. ;O)
