And witchcraft.

'Bout as effective.

Sacrificing your firstborn to Moloch is a peer-reviewed method of predicting the economic tide.

i don't know, i personally go with cuthulu because even though your mind may be wiped and your very soul shattered from the awe-inspiring sight of him, but the dark magics that linger in your head and infesting your body are just that much more effective.

he also leaves some great stock market investment ideas in there.

I'd go meet Socrates and Aristotle, and document exactly how hoplites held their freaking spears and...

AW NO, I'M A HISTORY NERD. HALP.

... I don't wanna be a history professor.

Have you thought about anthropology, specially cultural anthropology?

Thus continuing the circle of "why bother"

Depends on what the spear was used for. Like, hoplites held the spear by the waist/hip for more control but to sacrifice power, and over-shoulder for less control but for more striking power.

I'm aware that this is the guess made by legitimate historians- but it's still a guess, seeing as how the only place we can glean information about it from is urns. And the ancient Greek sense of art was not great. So while it made a great appeasement answer for the two hordes of history professors about to murder each other with doru held in various positions, I'd rather just look at an actual battalion and know.

But in all those guesses-the notion of practicality still holds. Let's simulate a real, live battle and check which is more effic-

Ah great, technology hasn't gotten that far yet, has it?

Though this one thing I'm happy about, part-time history student! <3
I still wonder if that depends on the type of formation used.

Also on the pottery? I blame time. They did just as good as they did with curved edges that best depicted the scenes...not saying they lacked a structured formality until several widespread techniques happened later on.

Happy: Friend gave me a gift. That's it. Just a gift.

We could always pay a couple of third-world people to massacre each other in historically accurate ways, but publishing these findings without being dragged to Den Haag afterwards could be difficult.

[Tack]

Yeah, and Historians don't have the physique....

[Iceblaster]

Well...

My first above ground DF Fort to hit Ten years.

I feel so happy.

I can provide more picture later. For now, maybe some coffee...

I'd sorely advise you as to the nature of your jokes.

[Helgoland]

Yeah, I already noticed... I'm working on it; in about a month the improvements should start to show~

above ground DF Fort

This is a thing?

It's an awesome thing. Significantly more challenging than underground, for obvious reasons.

In my Professional Communication tutorial we got to watch this awesome speech. You too should watch it, if you're semi-interested in Australian politics.

I somehow read that as Professional Communism and was briefly confused.

Yeah man, you don't use enough black humour. Keep working at it, you'll raise your comedy skills to a decent level soon enough.

Anyways, I just watched Derren Brown: Apocalypse.
Wow. That was fascinating, and a very entertaining watch. I'm aware there are sceptics who argue it was faked, but I'm leaning towards believing it was real... and very, very impressive.
