It's almost uncanny. One of the states with the largest count of Christians forbids feeding the poor and homeless. Did I miss the part in the Bible where Jesus said "Leave the poor to fend for themselves and die"?
Actually, I vaguely remember another necropolis near Monte Alban, in Mitla - albeit that's a couple of years back and it could have been somewhere else (definitely around Oaxaca, though).
Or, also in Mexico, in Veracruz, Quiahuiztlán.
The mummies from Guanajuato are also interesting, albeit they're now "on exhibit" and, as such, not really part of a burial space, respectively a tomb.
Interesting article, somewhat dull commentary flame war, though. My take is leave it as it is - the title more than clearly states what the article is about. As for the battle over religious texts: those who have read them at least know what they're talking about - those who haven't perchance should read them before claiming to know what the texts are about. And, just like any literature - there will be those who like the books and those who won't. Just like my wife likes Jane Austen while I hate her. I would nonetheless never claim that "Pride and Prejudice" is stupid - it's just not the kind of story I enjoy.
Not to mention medicine. Without an alchemist's medical revision, we might still be eating lead soup to heal a cold. Just in case anyone is wondering: the alchemist's name was Paracelsus.
@Tubag Bohol: Ties to the Catholic church during Newton's time were already severed in England. The Catholic church was against Newton's theories but it didn't matter, seeing as the English Church supported quite a few of them (and the rest was distributed through befriended "courier" scientists and journalists).
I'm kind of stumped at the mention that Newton supposedly said he "discovered" the laws of gravitation by watching an apple fall from a tree, considering it is mainly believed nowadays that he stumbled upon the idea while watching some alchemical experiments on precipitation.
When did Newton say that? He claims Newton having said that?

My thoughts precisely. It is nice to see the Internet actually showing something in a beautifully realistic, yet touching manner. Strange how cats are touching us so much about the world these days - first Oscar, now Charley. Not to mention LOLSpeak.
We had a cat with cerebellar hypoplasia a couple of years back. Let's just say it wasn't the most coordinated of cats, but it was definitely one of the most affectionate.
Thanks for the very moving video. Never mind laughing at the part where he falls into his bed - I'm sure he doesn't mind.
I remember reading the story in a textbook we used at school. The idea of cutting someone open and removing an infected organ is dauting even to a medical student - how scary must it be for a "normal" person, particularly underwater while enemy ships are passing along over your head? Mr. Lipes proved to be more courageous than the majority of soldiers indulging in combat (never mind the politicians, calling the shots behind enemy lines).
Officially, the UK uses the metric system (which happens to be the SI - "system international" in French). But, just like Canada, a lot of people seem to have trouble understanding the vastly simpler methodology. Some people just seem to have a hard time killing old, useless habits.
According to the following source, Tomb Seven is considered the earliest-known North American necropolis:

Although I have to admit I've always wanted my own private island. And Main's nice to boot.
