Yes, eventually?

Well, yes -- in the 21st century women should be encouraged to enter traditionally male-dominated fields like excavation and mining.

Though the split happened because the Soviets thought they should be master of all Communist countries and the Chinese had different ideas on the topic.

This sounds like something they'd name an Italian character in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon.

"Revolutionary Paris" had me thinking about this entirely the wrong way.

It's the Daily Mail, so it's not likely to be, you know...at all like this.

Good thing he didn't throw his drinking problem overboard instead.

Fingers crossed it's Thingumy and Bob.

Ganong makes Chicken Bones, which are a cinnamon candy. They're mostly chocolate, though: Pal-o-Mine chocolate bars, Delecto Peanut Clusters, and they're introducing a new one they bought out from an American manufacture: Sixlets, which look like chocolate M&M's from the pictures and their website.

Prana makes a bunch of nut snacks like salted cashews and almonds.

It's worth noting that "No one had ever traced such a track, as a modern navigator would do" is just wrong. Joseph B. Murdock was with the United States Coast Survey and an instructor at the US Naval Academy and he came up with San Salvador as the landing site at the turn of the 20th century. Historian Samuel Eliot Morison sailed up and down the US' East Coast in a small boat just for funsies and so knew that kind of navigation as well as anyone; he came up with San Salvador too in the 1930s.

 

From unlimited we go to limited.

 

Made of barracuda jawbone(*) and wrapped in red-dyed barkcloth, this scarifier was used by mourners to draw blood from themselves in honour of a dead chief. You can see the original here along with a second picture and some curator's notes.

(*) The source contradicts itself by saying both barracuda and porpoise -- googling for images suggests it's a barracuda, but I could be wrong.

Nico was a protegé of (D)Andy Warhol...plus Lou Reed has said this song is based on his experiences watching the Bohemian parties at Warhol's studio.

 

Currently on display at the Royal Ontario Museum.

 

Of Montreal are not from Montreal but Bran Van 3000 are (and are not from L.A.)

 

A painted ceramic vessel in the Codex Style. It depicts a wayob', the companion spirit of a Mayan ruler. This one is a toad which is wearing a jade bead necklace (there are two different animals, not visible, located around the back of the cup). There is also writing in Mayan glyphs, some of which declare the vessels purpose: drinking cacao.

The painter is also known by style from other pieces of work, and in the absence of an actual name is referred to as "The Metropolitan Master". You can see the original image and some other details here.

This connection is boring.

 

Some details and basic discussion is here on Board Game Geek. Consensus is it was a surprisingly decent game!
