Overnight, your Ancient Coin Collection becomes WORTHLESS

To me, that headline is not crazy (LOL, but great timing!)
Hawaii has a high altitude mountain, that folks have been skiing and snowboarding Mount Kea for years. Coupled with being surrounded with the Pacific; humidity off the ocean and high winds could easily make the conditions for a blizzard. Yeah, everyone thinks of a perfect tropical condition when in Hawaii, but snowing in the high altitudes have been happening for aeons.

Agreed...really touches today's "thinking".
But, read about Julius Caesar... justifying the slaughter of the Celts / Gaul... well over 2million people killed at a whim... Perhaps one of the greatest percentage of Human population killed off for his personal glory.

 

Imagine, had Hannibal been able to finish off the RR after Cannae/ how many tens of millions of lives would have been saved from the brutality of what was to come.

 

Duality is the essence of the "ten thousand things." If there are smart people, there must be stupid, or there is no scale. You want beauty? There must be ugliness. Good? Evil. Metaphysical? Empirical. Every coin has an obverse and reverse...

 

And all those coins were planted by Satan into believing there was such an immense nation state in antiquity.

 

the pendulum is swinging in the wrong direction right now

 

Is this sarcasm or are you saying Hannibal and Carthage was kinder and more gentle.

 

To quote a band I am not terribly fond of...same as it ever was.

 

This one is bad and I would have totally not believed it at all a decade ago. So click at own risk,

I'm led to believe that "sticking odd things in odd places" has been going on a lot longer than that.

 

Sticking things in our holes, or our things in other holes....certainly something we began doing long ago. Nothing is new. I remember long ago I read about the guy who stuck it in the tailpipe of a car...or the guy who stopped to stick it into road kill...along the way I realized we have always been this way and probably always will be.

 

Oh the humanity! Kind of reminds me of the woman in Israel that was using gasoline to clean the toilet and her husband went to do his business while smoking...

 

I laughed so hard at this, thanks! He slipped and fell This article could be in the onion for sure!

 

It was a million to one shot, doc!

Cosmo Kramer : Have you ever met a proctologist? Well, they usually have a very good sense of humor. You meet a proctologist at a party, don't walk away. Plant yourself there, because you will hear the funniest stories you've ever heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they stuck something up there. Never! It's always an accident. Every proctologist story ends in the same way: "It was a million to one shot, Doc. Million to one!"

 

The RR expanded their territories thru aggression/ then enslaved the surviving populations. Carthage on the otherhand, where a trading maritime nation that had a democratic form of govt. and would rather do commerce then war. Eventually the RR would try to dominate the region, Carthage was not going to roll over and let them, thus we had the Punic Wars. Would be nice to see a epic modern version of the Battle of Cannae.

 

LOL

 

Agreed. Traders.
