    I've also been to the pyramids. Stunning works.

    The thing that's struck me about the mystery of ancient construction methods is...just that they chose to make things with such large stones. If you can cut stones precisely as they could, why not cut them again? It must be simpler to cut a two-ton stone into four 500lb blocks and move those. The fact that they chose to use such large stones implies they had a simple method of moving them.

    Particularly when you look at some place like Pumapunku where they've got stones in the 80 metric ton range lifted on top of cliffs, after moving them from quarries miles away (and in some cases across lakes). What the hell? Why did all of the ancient world decide to use massive stones, and only later civilizations realized "oh wait this is way easier with smaller bricks." Odd.

    Not saying it was aliens...but it is weird.

    The problem with FLAC is how does one get FLAC?

    Shit, I get FLAC all the time for my music. Especially if I play it really loud.

    Reminds me of this.

    Gun laws just seem to be some of the best known.

    FTFY. Gun laws just tend to make for more entertaining stories due to intense feelings on both sides of the issue.

    Please rest assured that your nation's lawmakers are busy making ignorant laws for *all* fields. Being a software developer, I've heard of a good few stupid laws regarding software and computer issues. Being related to an MD, I also know a bit about medical related legislative stupidity. My guess is that since congress is composed of lawyers the same is true of every field of knowledge outside of law itself (although to some degree that too).

    I couldn't agree more that Congress should consult a weapons expert when considering any legislation regarding firearms, but I think we shouldn't stop there. It would be great if it were a requirement for Congress to hear relevant expert opinions before any law is passed.

    P.S. Apologies for the Pelosi rag :/ Couldn't help myself. I really do believe that this is a bi-partisan problem though.
