you guys were talking about how Latin literature is every bit as good as Greek literature... I have to agree. Russians really made a great language in Latin

yes David, Latin was created by Russia, also Columbus and Genghis Khan were Russian...this is according to the Multimedia History of Yaroslavl

had to bring it up....Russian pseudo-history is a favorite genre of mine. I guess it goes back to the "magnificent" made up bollocks of Fomenko's' New Chronology. All countries have their national elements of making up and altering history to make themselves feel better. I just feel like Russia is unprecedented in this field :)

I’m mainly glad that my periodic crinkling in the background doesn’t seem to have come through: I had burned my hand on a coffee cup right before we started and was nursing it every so often on a frozen burrito.

Poor fellow. Like Icarus, you flew too close to the sun. (If only there had been frozen burritos in his day.)

They likely would have tasted better than the one I used; hence my willingness to dispose of it as an ice pack.

Not all frozen burritos are created equal. Some are downright splendiferous. Better to go to a Mexican grocery store, rather than an American supermarket.

There’s surely got to be one of those around me. I must have been Oaxacan in a previous life.
