Heh, looks better

Would not mind having a reproduction of that ring!
Remind me never to call a civil war era surgeon if I need some work done.
But all of those artifacts are amazing. What an interesting thread. I’m betting that bread is no good to eat anymore though from Pompeii.
Those poor civil war guys. What agony they must have gone through. Early on in my head injury I used to go to the hospital with very bad headaches for a morphine drip and even they wouldn’t last very long once I left.
There must have been so many addicts.
Might this be of interest to you, SC?
Fascinating, Marvinstinson! Thanks for posting this!
May George Soros’ proctologist wear those armored gloves...and take his sweet time.
Thank you for posting, some amazing stuff.
Picture with Clint Eastwood and Diana... Also Tom Selleck with Nancy Reagan and Prince Charles behind them. The man between Diana and Eastwood looks familiar but not coming up with a name.
Thank you for this..
Heh, those gloves look like The Gloves of Sauron from the Lord of The Rings movie! Probably where they got the idea-
I love these things-I am a sucker for the “50 Incredible Photos You Won’t Believe” clickbait!
Thx for posting that!
Just look at the wealth of history these college idiots deny due to reprogramming by thier masters
Clint Eastwood is da man!!!!
“The man between Diana and Eastwood looks familiar but not coming up with a name.”
Kind of looks like Alexander Haig, but I don’t think it is.
