Even though I still haven't managed to read those 30 pages in my textbook, I *have* watched Guns, Germs, and Steel. Quite interesting...and ironically enough, much of the source of Jared Diamond's inquiries can be found in his experiences on Papua New Guinea. So now we just have to wait to see what brilliant theories arise from Sev's sabbatical there. Eh, Sev? ::snort from the shadows::

And I learned something else: trust Daniel Jackson (of Stargate SG-1) over anyone. Yup. Dr. Jackson can pronounce "cuneiform" correctly when the National Geographic narrator-guy cannot. I love fictional characters.

( And now for something completely different. )
