LOL! And thanks for the pics! Truly a cunning collection there!

In case anyone's interested, here's an article about the discovery of DNA by Watson and Crick - or, more tellingly, about the unknown group of researchers who lay the groundwork before Watson and Crick deciphered the meaning of the helix structure inherent in DNA. Stunning creativity of DNA...

More on the story of the missing Iraqi historical treasures: Looted Iraqi art starts to surface

Well, I've seen some Christians get into quite a twitch about the whole Harry Potter issues. Although I can understand the objection to some degree the fact remains that Western society is increasingly secular. Certainly, the roots of the objection to Harry Potter go much wider afield. For...

Actually, maybe I was beiong a little harsh on the matter. Someone reminded me the other day that there is no cure for the common cold - and that's precisely what SARS is supposedly closely related to. Here's something about it's writhing mutations from a BBC article...

We actually went back and walked over where the ancient settlements were supposed to be. There were some slight earthworks, but it's hard to know whether these are original or from later building - there's a windmill nearby so it's certainly been used in more recent times. Anyway, it was a bit...

Now here's quite a tale - apparently the dog escaped it's home, was apparently hit by a car - then a police officer who was called decided to put the dog out of it's misery and shot it. Then the "body" was dragged off and put into cold storage - only to be rediscovered a few hours later alive...

Been doing a lot of surfing tonight, and thought that the following site had a lot of useful information on Eastern thought and followings. The articles are only brief but quite extensive - more so than I'm planning to have here for some time: Seekers Guide - Eastern Religions, Masters and...

Chinese guests barred from film festival Hysteria or not? SARS has a low death rate, has killed around 100 people worldwide. Malaria has a higher death rate, will kill around 3 million people this year. Is the whole issue of SARS nothing more than "diseases of the rich"?

Figured it out - the database backup I uploaded to the site had the wrong file name. I change the titles to show the date, and the site didn't like that. A really big PHEW!

In case you're visiting here from overthere, during a general upgrade of the Chronicles site, I have inadvertently crippled the forum. Now in touch with tech support. I sincerely hope that the forum is recoverable. :- EDIT: All better now! http://www.chronicles-network.net/forum/index.php

No - sincere thanks for that. It's the sort of silly error that can put people off a new site. As for Foundationism and Chronicles - both are intricately linked. The Philosophy of the Chronicles series is Foundationist - unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to summarise what that...

Cool about the galleon dreams - had lots like that as well. One very memorable excerpt - I was in a ship's cabin, having a general conversation in what I think was Portugese! What's strange is that I was also thinking in the language, rather than English. When I woke I had been saying...
