billcoe Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Saw the KK missing thread and thought of Don. Dudes been gone for awhile. Would this not be a thrilling event of a lifetime for the good Dr Ryan? ...Perhaps? Link "SAQQARA, Egypt (AP) — Archaeologists have discovered a new pyramid under the sands of Saqqara, an ancient burial site that has yielded a string of unearthed pyramids in recent years but remains largely unexplored." more if you click the link........

ivan Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 perhaps the rapture has come? would explain why i'm still here... Quote
Bug Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I'm still here. No headlines here. Maybe God is waiting until after that preist in Spokane pays off the kids he raped. Quote
Raindawg Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Saw the KK missing thread and thought of Don. Dudes been gone for awhile. Raindawg is currently in Egypt where he is directing an expedition in the Valley of the Kings, excavating, studying and conserving several tombs in the royal cemetery. (And doing some desert exploration as well). That's where he is and what he be doing. - Raindawg Quote
Crux Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Cue the equivocation of archeology with bolting. Wait, wait, KK is busy trying on shoes. Never mind. Quote

ivan Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 weren't the ancient egyptians great abusers of stone? in regards to bolting, WWKTD? Quote
G-spotter Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It is telling that the Egyptian is a sport-climbing move. Quote
kevbone Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 weren't the ancient egyptians great abusers of stone? How does one "abuse" stone? Quote
sobo Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 weren't the ancient egyptians great abusers of stone? How does one "abuse" stone? Witness even more scintillating intellect... Kev, do you fish for a living, or what? Quote

ivan Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 weren't the ancient egyptians great abusers of stone? How does one "abuse" stone? i'm pretty certain these at least required some chipping Quote
Bug Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 weren't the ancient egyptians great abusers of stone? How does one "abuse" stone? i'm pretty certain these at least required some chipping No. The incedible thing about Egyptian stonework is that they found each stone naturally and fit it to its place according to its size and shape. They had a class of preists called "stonefinders" StoneFinders wandered the desert in search of stones and directed their slaves to those spots. Amazingly, they also used cats to navigate in the desert. They carried large numbers of the felines on their travels. When they got lost, they yanked on their tails and released them. By this method they were able to find their way back home by following the tail-less cats' blood spots in the sand. Awake yet Kevbone? Quote
ivan Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 i dunno - i think i see stone crying out its violation here - you're saying some mofo just FOUND a stone that looked like this bitch's ear?!? Quote

G-spotter Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Talk about hook swallowing! Hey Ivan, you think that pint-sized French guy was the first modern chipper, shooting off the Sphinx's nose? Quote
ivan Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 i think that, regardless, dean potter must climb the sphinx's chin Quote
sobo Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Thank you, Cliff Clavin Talk about hook swallowing! What part of sarcasm don't you get, huh? Quote
ivan Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 the use of sarcasm by a speaker is a subconcious and often mistaken acknowledgement of the audience's non-retard status Quote
G-spotter Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 all in all you're just another brick in the pyramid Quote
