  1.  @robertstone9988  I'm fairly tolerant. But I find I do not suffer fools gladly. Myself included if I'm being foolish.

  2. I saw that too. Probably a typo

  3. Just so you know. The term "spear chucker" is very offensive to some people*. Jesse Jackson included. He actually got called one at a political rally. For him. True story. *Given the way it's usually used I do not blame them one bit.

  4. They immigrated from Latin America. Right?

  5. Did a war occur around the site of Troy? I think yes. Did it involve what happens in the Illiad. Probably not. But the war or wars inspired the epic poems that became the Illiad. And the wars were likely over Troy strangling trade through Bosporus.

  6. And he didn't even drink Dos Equis

  9. Yes Metatron. You could be and probably are an alien. But are you a registered alien?

  10.  @metatronyt  I thought you would get the joke. When I was a kid every year at as certain time of the year there would be TV public service spots reminding registered aliens to RAs to turn their paperwork in. This was in the 1960s. There were still large numbers of DPs* that came over in the 40s and early 50s that had not applied for citizenship *Displaced Persons

  11. It depends on the options. Dungeon? Dungeons? Equipped with chains? Built in torturer?

  12. There are people today who produce arrow heads etc by knapping glass. One of the more unusual stone artifacts found in the Americas was a flint knife found in the area of Jamestown. It was a surface find. So dating it is damn near impossible. When the stone it was made from was traced to its source. That source turned out to be a quarry in southwestern France associated with known Solutrean tools. Real? Fake? Planted to throw off paleo-archeologists? I have no idea. And I don't think anyone else does either. It begs the question though. Just what would an English settler be doing using a flint knife in the 17th century. And if the blade was snapped by a member of the tribes living along the James River just where did he get the stone from.

  13. The problem with inclusion in historical fiction is that there will be individua who accept is historic fact.

  14. Canoes are one thing. Especially dugouts made from one tree trunk. Some of which can be quite large. But what about vessels made from multiple pieces. Actual wooden ships. It's possible that very old ones could be found in the Black Sea below the depth were oxygen is basically not present. And then their are composite vessels. Watercraft made from wooden frames with skin coverings. And those made of reeds.

  15.  @appelflapdrol  Perhaps one of the oldest watercraft aside from a log could be the inflated stomach of a larger animal.
