Excerpt:

The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest narratives in the world, got a surprise update last month when the Sulaymaniyah Museum in the Kurdistan region of Iraq announced that it had discovered 20 new lines of the Babylonian-Era poem of gods, mortals, and monsters. Since the poem has existed in fragments since the 18th century BC, there has always been the possibility that more would turn up. And yet the version we’re familiar with — the one discovered in 1853 in Nineveh — hasn’t changed very much over recent decades. The text remained fairly fixed — that is, until the fall of Baghdad in 2003 and the intense looting that followed yielded something new.

SAN FRANCISCO -- For nearly a century, the disappearance of the USS Conestoga, with 56 officers and sailors on board, remained one of the U.S. Navy's great maritime mysteries.

But over the past year and a half, intrepid research, days on the high seas and haunting photographs helped finally solve the sensational saga, which grabbed national headlines in 1921 and spurred a search as immense as the one for Amelia Earhart's plane a decade later.

He's got his 1988 Sony Walkman Sport headphones, his Walmart watch, completely stretched out tube socks and his ole ratty white running shoes from 1982, shorts circa 1993, and a two size too big, thick Ball State freakin volleyball shirt? Has he lost his mind?
 
I have always adored and desired to own a house like we always see in the movies with pets and kids and only one floor and a garden BBQ anytime I want. Have 5 kids.

I really really hate living in apartments and city. I hate the traffic jams, I hate the insufficient parking lots, I hate the malls (and I freak-azoid-in' work in one), I hate the noise pollution, I hate the crowded places, I hate people never trusting each other and looking at each other like they are enemies, I hate to see a place that I discovered go crowded the next time I go there and get spoiled.

I would be so happy if I could build a life like that some day.


Why not?

That isn't a very deadly snake cage if they are all constrictors.
