Oh, Ruby, if you went shopping, what did you get me? 

I'm hoping for that mummy-bandage hoodie I posted on the previous page last night. Come on, it's only...$80.

Lol I wish I could but it’s about AU$160 

[Luca-RoseElsie-Raemom1921]

I was shopping sorry. Back now.

Popping in to say HI!!   We were at our friends' house earlier, now I'm going to try to get a good night's sleep.  Have a good one!

Lol, random question: Where's the whole 'God smiting you with lighting' thing start in the first place?

I thought it started with Zeus, but somehow it seeped into Christianity down the road.

That's a good question. I don't know. A lot of the cultures from that time borrowed from one another, and Yahweh was always elemental, so borrowing Zeus' lightning bolt is entirely possible. There's lightning all over the Old Testament (e.g., Exodus 9:23, when Moses raises his staff and God sends down thunder and lightning).

Sounds like a good research paper. Best get started. I expect to see your conclusions in next month's Biblical Archaeology. 

(You could publish under that cool name Kate King.)

Wow, that's twice the US dollars. So best use US dollars. Are you going to ship it or deliver it to my door?

Are you wearing out the internet tonight? I'll bet you've cleaned Amazon out of its inventory.

It's pretty cool how Ralph wets himself and it's immediately absorbed. Diapers, perhaps?

Editing to add: You asked a history nerd a history question. You know I can't control myself.

Better question is how it doesn't run down his pants leg in a straight stream rather than puddle around his groin in a circle.

You're talking to an everything nerd who loves to learn, so let loose buddy.  Teach away!

I tell you, it's the diaper. Extra-absorbant. I mean, if anyone wears a diaper, it'd be Ralph.

You're my kind of person. But as a fellow nerd you know it's dangerous to ask a nerd to teach, because we might not shut up. Over in the Ancient History forum I'm already known as a windbag.

Not yet, about to go to a pet supply place that allows dogs, she needs weighing for preventative worm treatment.

I'll get her something there.

She got hangry and was howling for more food lol

I never understood how some people can go through life not giving a single care in the world about knowing mankind's history, or the science of how things around them work, things like that. Stuff like that just fascinates me, even if most of it goes over my head.

Google helps when you cannot understand a word or want to know how to pronounce it

I'm the same way. But the majority of my friends are smart and educated people, so I consider myself luckily in good company. Of course my close friends at the museum have many of the same history interests as I do.

I'm always a little hesitant to admit it but I will anyway. I hate sports. Almost all sports, I should say. And I'm a guy. So I guess I must be gay, right? No, I just don't like sports. I don't get the guy who will spend all day on his sofa, guzzling beer and chomping chips while he watches game after game after game on the TV. To me that is a waste of time.

I hope you get the puppy something fun. Maybe a little stuffed dog or cat. And then take photos for us of her munching on it.

Nothing wrong with not liking sports

I'm the exact same way!!

I've always hated sports, even as a kid. I was the nerdy sci-fi fantasy loving outcast who get stereotypically bullied by sports jocks, and couldn't play sports worth a crap in gym class. Actually gym class was in many ways my own personal Hell, but I won't get into all that here...

But anyway, I've never been into sports. They're all totally boring to me.

[Aquila King]

Lol, you probably weren't the kinda loser nerd I was, but at least I'm not the only guy on the planet that doesn't give an F about sports.

I often say aluminum shavings get everywhere. But I'm here cracking walnuts, and I found shavings inside the nut itself. I give up. 

Aluminuts?

Oh, I was always kind of an awkward kid, and am now something of an awkward man. I had my share of bullies when I was a kid, and they were pretty bad. There were five or six of them. But somehow I got lucky. By the end of eighth grade, through no real effort of my own, all but one of those bullies became friends of mine. And the one who stayed a bully was pretty awful to everyone and liked by almost no one, so I didn't care. In fact, I spent all of high school completely ignoring him, and felt kind of bad for him.
