    Off-Topic ESPN gone from YouTubeTV

    Yeah. Disney currently makes money from people with YTTV who never watch their channels at all. Hard to believe they would walk away from that

    these are mostly Egyptian artifacts and a lot of scarabs and cylinder scrolls/seals. very common and we used to mark pots and other clay items to tell what was in them or who owned them. I have a very close friend who actually collected most everything I have shown here and he sold them to...

    Off-Topic New Tyrannosaur species discovered at North Carolina museum

    these are mostly Greek, Roman, Egyptian and other early antiquities. everything I have was bought from reputable dealers who are still in business and I have certificates of authenticity. Almost all countries now have laws against taking these type of things out of the country but obviously...

    various items, T rex tooth cast, shark, large trilobite, baby plesiosaur, some fish, vertebra of a duck billed dinosaur and a dwarf mammoth tusk, the thing at the far right is a cave bear penis bone. Humans and whales are the only mammals who do not have a penis bone by the way

    I got a behind the scenes tour of the facility and met the preparators Of this exhibit. Very cool. I sadly have to own up to the fact that while I am a huge fossil enthusiast and have what is likely one of the better private collections around (documented years ago on a zzl thread now...

    Off-Topic Remember your local food bank

    Part of me feels let 'we the people' feel the full impact of our current less than a perfect union and it's lack of promotion of the general welfare.
