"You should have over two trillion ancestors of thousands years ago, clearly several orders of magnitude more than the number of people who were alive on the planet at the time and even today."

Trilión je milión miliónov - v takom počte som príbuzná so všetkými tu prítomnými 😄
Teší ma, sesternice a bratranci!

Vedeli ste, že mor s ľuďmi žije od rannej doby bronzovej, čo je 6 tisíc rokov dozadu.
A niekedy pred 3 tisíc rokmi morová baktéria, yersinia pestis, zmutovala a začala nakazenej blche spôsobovať zápchu.
Takže blche sa ucpe črevo, umiera od hladu a snaží sa zúfalo nažrať, ale všetko, vrátane hromady baktérií, vracia.

A, voilà, mor sa šíri o to efektívnejšie.

Recently they seem to have revived the 1960s concept of "The thinking man's crumpet"
namely attractive and highly intelligent women presenting programmes - the most obvious examples being and - not to everyone's taste perhaps but somewhat of an improvement on reality TV!

Belatedly starting to watch explore by train (Saturday nights Channel 4). We’re just watching her first episode from . Liking how she’s giving a good taste of modern Egyptian life as well as the past. Many of the sites she’s visiting are lesser known in the West. Even when she visits ones we’ve seen before elsewhere she’s giving valuable new insights and contextualisation. Basically I’m very impressed!

Enjoyed watching Professor discovering Ancient Egypt by Train on . Brought back memories from my trips to in 1991 and 1995, travelling by train, boat, mini-bus and truck up and down the Nile. 🎒

I really loved absolutely non-triggering, but I've now moved on to archaeology programmes and youtube @NicolaWhiteMudlark

Evening reading (rather than work reading, or falling asleep in bed reading). Needs a bit of concentration but is packed with rewards.

Tucking into a good book on a cold Saturday morning, in hand … does it get any better than this?
