Pizza Cut with Scissors

There are two ways to enjoy pizza in Italy. Either sit down in a restaurant and order a pizza pie or go to a pizzeria and get pizza al taglio (cut to-go).

The Italian version of fast food, pizza al taglio is a popular way to grab a bite to eat for lunch.

When ordering pizza al taglio you walk up to a counter where you’ll find several types of long square pizzas – usually at least five types with various toppings. There’s usually even pizza without cheese (pizza rossa) if you prefer to forgo the dairy.

Tell the person behind the counter which kind of pizza you want. Just point to the slab that appeals to you and use your hands to indicate how big you want your slice. Then, the pizzaiolo weighs it and charges you. That’s right, pizza al taglio’s price changes by weight like meat or produce in a grocery store.

So, the more pizza you ask for, the more you’ll pay. You can either try one large piece of the same type or smaller slices with varying toppings.

These cousins of ours would roam the Palatine hills and spear the wild boars....soon they opened up pork stores. The women folk would pick wild beans and extrude a paste from wild grasses, the predecessors of wheat and rye. They would combine them into a dish called Pasta Fagioli. The men would make sauseech and Braciole

Yes, pizza with cucumbers or other such ridiculous toppings is horrific, at least for anyone who grew up knowing what good Italian food is.

Neanderthals had larger brains than modern man.

In the back. Near the occipital lobe for long term memories . The modern Human has more in the frontal lobe for quick problem solving. Or so it has been written.

It gets complicated...

They noted that fossilized animal remains found in the cave—elephant, rhinoceros and giant deer, among others—shed light on the flora and fauna of the area and its climactic history.

Now we have to ask how did packs of hyena's get elephants, rhinoceros and giant deer into the cave...

One piece at a time !

I think I read somewhere that hyenas have the strongest crushing jaw strength of any mammal.

Sorry, your comment reminded me of this...

Not that it is in any way the same logically. Just the general notion. :)


“How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?!”


Trump ‘coyote’ remark confuses...Georgia state Democrat

Many on Twitter thought Trump was talking about an actual coyote, not a human smuggler

By Brie Stimson | Fox News | October 24, 2020

[excerpt]

When President Trump suggested at Thursday’s presidential debate that the more than 500 migrant children unable to be reunited with their parents were brought to the border by “coyotes,” many on social media were left confused. ...”

Many thought the president was talking about actual animals bringing children across the border — rather than human smugglers, for whom “coyotes” is a slang term. ...”

Georgia state Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick, a Democrat, was among those who seemed to have been puzzled by the remark.

“Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through ‘cartels and coyotes’?!’” she tweeted.

How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord-——stop talking.” ...”

Page - 48 - EARTH IN UPHEAVAL

... Buckland was one of the great authorities on geology of the first half of the nineteenth century. In a cave in Kirkdale in Yorkshire, eighty feet above the valley, under a floor covering of stalagmites, he found teeth and bones of elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotami, horses, deer, tigers (the teeth of which were “larger than those of the largest lion or Bengal tiger*’), bears, wolves, hyenas, foxes, hares, rabbits, as well as bones of ravens, pigeons, larks, snipe, and ducks. Many of the animals had died “before the first set, or milk teeth, had been shed.”...

EARTH IN UPHEAVAL

Page -82-

—there is a fissure filled with animal bones. “Why should so many wolves, bears, horses, and oxen have ascended a hill isolated on all sides?” asked Albert Gaudry, professor at the Jardin des Plantes. According to him, the bones in this cleft are mostly broken and splintered into innumerable sharp fragments and are “evidently not those of animals devoured by beasts of prey; nor have they been broken by man. Nevertheless, the remains of wolf were particularly abundant, together with those of cave lion, bear, rhinoceros, horse, ox, and deer. It is not possible to suppose that animals of such different natures, and of such different habitats, would in life ever have been together.”7 Yet the state of preservation of the bones indicates that the animals—all of them— perished in the same period of time. Prestwich thought that the animal bones, “now associated in the fissure on the summit of the hill,” were found in common heaps because, “we may suppose, all these animals had fled...
