May 26th, 2007 ~ Potpourri for 100, AlexAll right, I’m trying to get ready for a trip, so I can’t believe I’m taking time to blog right now, but this is the type of thing I just love the internet for.

Deleting responses: Done. Anything worth saying is worth saying three times, right?
Glad to know this animated graphic checks out factually. I realized I wouldn’t really know if they got a lot of that wrong.

Grace - that is a really cool map! Only recently has there been any independence at all - amazing! Makes you wonder when the next big empire will take over. I am forwarding this to all of my history buff friends.
