Egyptian stuff

Dr. Hawass has his own website if you are into Egyptian archeology.
probably worth an RSS feed,

although if you are really into Egypt, he even has a link to his fan site.

------------------
Talking about fansites, Professor Bob, as at "History according to Bob" podcast, said one of his fans has a facebook page on his podcast, but I can't find the link.

Right now he is podcasting on Napoleon, the Civil war, and Ancient Rome...

Summer is icumen in Lhude sing cuccu!

Two posts Link link2 on the song, the cookoo and cukoo spit...

Froth on a tansy plant in Bonnefont garden on a May morning. In the Middle Ages, this foamy substance was believed to be the spittle of the cuckoo. The froth is secreted by insects known as spittle bugs
.

-----------------
and speaking of bugs: YUM!




and no, I've never eaten bugs...raw oysters, yes. Guinea pigs, yes. Bagoong, patis, and other delicacies, yes, but not bugs.
