My neighbor is from NZ and his favorite sports team is the "All Blacks" team of NZ. He says it is the native Maori on the team that make them such winners. Also, we had an article on FR some time back about the Maori having an 'aggression gene' lacking in other people. They were notorious in the past for killing and eating their enemies.

The cat's outa the bag now!

Once were warriors: gene linked to Maori violence

[Renfield]

One of the places we stayed in NZ was a farmstay run by a lovely couple named Ra and Leon. Ra was of Maori ancestry, Leon of English ancestry. Leon said that when he and Ra were dating, she would make jokes about her ancestors eating his ancestors.

Little is known about the highly unusual find, which includes a skull bearing strange holes drilled into its cheekbones, with authorities keen to keep the controversial discovery under wraps.

After 20 years??

[Elsie]

Where’s his ‘chute?

[Elsie]

No.

I’m just gonna let this softball land in the grass.

[blam]

"After 20 years?? "

Nah. Nothing new that I know of.

I have two pick-up trucks. One new and one old. I drive the old one every day, it's 29 years old this month, 257,000 miles.

I won't be here another 20 years.

[SunkenCiv]

This topic was posted 7/14/2002, thanks again blam. Hey, it's not quite 20 years ago...

Thanks .

[Elsie]

I see we've both been HERE for over 20 years.

I wonder if how those manhours could have been better spent.

[Lurker]

“I’ve never heard anybody say that the Vikings had a compass before.”

There is some evidence that Vikings were using lodestones as far back as 1,000 BC.

SC undoubtedly knows more on the subject than I do.

[SunkenCiv]

That rings a bell, the deviation between magnetic north and geographic north was discovered (not surprisingly, eh?) by navigators, and the Vikings would have been going far enough west to figure it out.

There’s been some discussion as well that the Vikings used, hmm, amber?, to locate the solar position in heavy weather.

Ah, here it is, calcite and a couple other minerals, the magnetic compass apparently goes back to the 13th c is all.

I am surprised that is the extent of it. I would have been a giant in those times and simply missed being worshipped as a deity by only 3,000 years.
Ohhh, the possibilities.

[blam]

"I wonder if how those manhours could have been better spent. "

I'm convinced being here contributed to me staying sane.

[Elsie]

My wife says being here made me nuts!

[blam]

"My wife says being here made me nuts!"

(AHEM) I don't have a wife.

Genesis 2:18, 3:12 niv

 

 

 

 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

 

but a little later on...

 

The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

 

 

 

Them women WILL make a man do crazy stuff!
