Isn't it though! Isn't as similar technique used with palimpsest (sp?), where a previous message is disappeared using something like urine, then a new message was written on the reclaimed paper or papyrus.

FYI. Buffalo Bill Cody called his 50-70 trapdoor Springfield that he killed thousands of Buffalo with, Lucretia Borgia.

At that time, the postage was paid by the receiving party. So they apparently did not get paid!
Unlike the lazy postmen now!

Here’s proof that the Feds can read your snail mail without steaming it open.

Come to think of it now, they Dems can tell which mail-in ballots need to be discarded without opening them.

used an X‐ray microtomography scanner engineered in the dental research labs at Queen Mary University of London Meanwhile dental care in UK is non existent
Best seller at UK 7/11 style stores is a do it yourself dental kit.
And in Spain the English are referred to as:
Tall sun burnt people with bad teeth.

Wow! Fantastic technology. Apparently this was developed for dental uses.. No more idealistic tech optimism for me anymore. The only potential I see in new inventions is juvenile misuse and growth of the police-state.

Cool bit of trivia that I didn’t know. Thanks!
BTW, we needed a name for our new puppy last year. My wife likes sports starts, but not me. We settled on “Cody” - for her it was for Cody Ross of the SF Giants. For me it was for Buffalo Bill Cody.

Some old relative of my wife’s was apparently very close friends with Buffalo Bill Cody. Great great grandfather or something.
