B.C.E. — Uggg, I like to tell the people that put this in that I now call this “Before Christian Era” instead of the B.C. and A.D. they have gone to this Politically Correct Crap. (If you didn’t know that they now say “Before Common Era” which is still the BIRTH OF CHRIST.

Like the Lion pic, excellent article BTW.

Not for the ping list, but we’re all ‘mirin’ this 3,000 year old kitty statue and I thought you might appreciate its cute little “feed me” expression.
