The mound builder culture was destroyed by global cooling.

“Get out of jail free” card?
Early version of a credit card?
A stamp used in ancient scrapbooking? Oh my, the list could be endless.

Archaeologists aren't sure why Mississippian Indians engraved small sandstone tablets with birdman images and crosshatching 1,000 years ago. These must be some slow witted right-wing scientists. Obviously the "bird-man" image represents the Sky (climate) god Allgoar and these tablets are carbon credits used to offset the damage done by killing corn, gourd and bean plants.

In the 1970s there was a Birdland cult for a while when the first Weather Report album came out. ;’)

The hawkman from Buck Rogers - I remember that show! Are the eps available on DVD?

Thanks for the link to Amazon. I'll be heading off to check it out.
BTW, the guy that played Hawk on Buck Rogers came to Pittsburgh for a Sci Con, this was like twenty-five years ago, and a friend of mine was in charge of picking the actor up at the airport and showing him around town, and he said this person was very nice, very personable to everyone. (Thought I'd throw in that little snippet.)

My first thought on reading the title was this has something to do with The Birdman of Alcatraz, LOL!

The actor is Thom Christopher. That is a cool “brush with fame” story. It is good to hear about an actor or actress who has not forgotten that they are a human being.
I watched the show dutifully when I was a kid both when it originally aired and when it entered into syndication. Thanks to that show, I still have this thing about women in spandex (especially Erin Grey).

SciFi runs a day of them, every now and then. I’ll pop in an 8-hour tape, and fast forward to the “better” epis, or ones I don’t remember.
To: Army Air Corps
I heard Erin Grey and Gil whatshisname a while back, talking about the last season. "...and we were told the new director was really good, since he was the director that rode "Gunsmoke" into the sunset, and the last director of [another cancelled series], and he even shut down [yet another cancelled show]...."
"We asked, 'Are trying to tell us something????'"
To: Calvin Locke
Talk about the writing being on the wall.
That would be like a company bringing a new manager into your division; a manager who helped shut-down other divisions...

Thanks for the info that the Sci Fi channel runs the old “Buck Rogers” TV show eps. I’ll try to catch them when they’re on, because the price that Amazon is asking is pretty high.
