A friend of mine lost a dog to quicksand, so to us, quicksand stays the Bad Guy where those Mythththththththtbufsfsfsfsfsfterssfsfsfsfs were somehow totally wrong and off the mark. - But that's what they do on a regular basis, so that was no surprise...

We over here have the term "Dudette", but it doesn't mean a female "dude".
A dude is a somewhat estranged wierd surfer/skater/streetbiker-guy that listens to grunge-music, goes to open-air festivals and smokes reefers.
A dudette is a streetwise sassy bit financial upper-class girl.

Yes prlo - Residue is found and when you take a look at these statues with infrared and other wavelengths and when you put them under microscopes and when you go at them with chemical tests, you find these pigments.

When I was a kid, I had the notion that back before I existed, and the further you went back in time the world didn't have colour- Hey most of the photographs from the '60's and before were in black and white, so ... right?
The paintings and interpretations of artists like Alma Tadema were a true revelation to me.

Now to see these statues all reconstructed even with colours (I saw the exibition- just blow me away. Greeks were not only the esthetic God-Makers we think them to be when we see their majestic marble-white statues- They were humans in a lively world that made colorful bold statues that reflected the world they lived in.

And I love that.

As long as he stays within the borders of Street-View Britain, he'll be fine. But the moment he tries to go around the world in Street-View, he'll be lost to humanity because for sure he'll at some point fall off the face of the Internet...

Amen deadmundo.

JimH And then that string-quartet to accompany these women while they slave to clean up the place- Near to a beautiful oilpainting.

Yep- Those women together with older men and younger children were drafted into service. They really did clean up the mess out of their own free will only stimulated by the Allied forces... Band of Brothers -however good a series it was- is not an only pure objective truthful document.
