Miss Cellania's Comments
A machine translation of the Polish article tells how they excavated the church. Every floor tile had to be numbered, and even the leveling sand underneath had to be saved, because modern Polish sand has too much salt in it. The floor had to be reset at the end of each digging season so that services could be held at the cathedral.

The Black Death destroyed half Europe's population, and the Columbian Exchange killed about 90% of the New World's population. Both had profound effects on history from those points on.

Thanks, I will correct that. I had trouble understanding the geography involved.

Yeah, he should have used an acronym! But that was only the first weekly videos. He's been around even longer than that.

Despair? Exhaustion? You didn't do nearly enough drugs in the '70s.

There are a number of reasons December 25th has fewer birthdays. In the old times, it was probably hard to get a midwife or doctor out on Christmas day to help things along, and also hard to get a witness to attest to the date. Now, if a baby is due on Christmas, labor is usually induced a couple of days early so that all involved can be home for Christmas.

It would take an act of Congress, and they got tired of Disney's shenanigans. 95 years is enough.

These kids have only been playing instruments for 3-4 months, and trying to learn how to read music at the same time. Schools typically have a combined Christmas concert, starting with the beginners, then the middle school, and ending with the high school orchestra. The parents of the beginners can see where their children might end up in a few years, and the parents of the orchestra can see how far their kids have advanced.
