All known lefties with power are corrupt, despised and usually end up with defiled graves.

Yeah, that's why Wilson, Truman, and FDR are hated by the masses and rest in a field of cowflop. /sarcasm

" Iron Age leader and his chariot found in motorway excavation"

Yeah...he was trying to find his way out of one of those stupid English round-abouts.

Give the conservative gains some time to work. We'll get there. Wilson is unknown except to the minority in this country that reads. FDR and Truman have been gone less than 60 years. We'll build roads over their graves in a lot less time than 2,500 years.

Here's a link to Oxford's Archaeology site's article about the chariot find.

The West Yorkshire Chariot Burial

I've never understood how most found objects at arc sites are either from "fertility rites" or were for religious rituals etc. until, I met a few of the people who dig them up. They are long on various theories expounded in our universities and often short on actual real life experiences. Also follow the funding, digs that just uncover regular boring household items are not exciting and less likely to get the money. As a result I am being cremated.

Kinda reminds me of those guys who get buried in their Buicks...

I want a Viking funeral. They can have a bar-b-que, float me out to sea on a long boat, my bow and sword at my side and then set the whole thing on fire.

Give us time. First we have got to get off the dime, FDR that is.

[tertiary01]

The "authorities" will then declared you a water pollutant and possible super fund site and your poor relatives will have to pay for the clean up.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Can I designate which relative should get the bill in my will?:)

They just need to do it more then twenty miles out. Nice boat trip. I will ascend to the heavens on fiery wings.
