    funnily enough you neglect to mention the war where france invaded england and conquered it, and when napoleon ruled most of europe

  2. if you don't want the features just don't use 'em! on Just a Phone? · · Score: 2, Insightful

  10. Re:Abacus on Top 100 Gadgets of All Time · · Score: 1

    you had walls? lucky you, you had it easy! back in my day we had to work down the coal mine digging coal with our bare teeth for 67 hours a day before we were allowed to use our abacus which consisted of 10 ton boulders arranged in lava trenches.

  17. Possibly a good thing on Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i've read that this climate change could have been the spur for the start of civilisation. the drying environment in the ancient middle east caused people to migrate from drying marsh areas to near rivers and irrigation (and hence cities, civilisation, writing et cetera) may have developed to counter the drier weather.
