Humans are a noisy bunch. We’ll make sure the cephalopods know who we are, or were, :)

I have not seen that but I want to watch it. Yes. Of course maybe we can imagine Corvids versus cephalopods for future control. The smartest and largest mammals won’t survive the asteroid but tool using scavenger birds and problem solving tentacle beasts will figure out how to make use of the remains.

If, yes, though not all doctors were that keen to touch the patient (hence the stick) and weren’t bathing the way we think of it today. The outfit did help, absolutely, and you are right that doing things for the wrong reasons were beneficial. good protection for the medical doctor of the time. Not so helpful for the…

Let’s not start about the damn anti-Vaxers or whatever they are called. We are in agreement on this. A jab in the arm sorts out so much. Ignorance kills. We will hope reason and science win out!

Yes! Exactly. The bad smell is a warning if something bad but they took it as sign of contracting the disease. I think out ancestors needed a bit more work on their scientific method. ;)

Your implication is good. No beed to show yourself out! Today we know we just need a flat mask of the proper layering to prevent aerosol particles from being inhaled or exhaled, but back then the beak was exactly for that reason of battling the smell. The longer the beak, the more herbal protection! If they had packed…

Bad smells were thought to lead to sickness so, yes! Disguising the smell of the decaying flesh was important to the idea of protecting the so called doctor from catching the plague. It might be on par with how a pet hides his or hed after doing something bad. “I can’t see you so you can’t find me to punish me!” Here,…

Quackery, from a bird-beaked healer?

Climb onto a roof, drink wine, enjoy the fireworks that will end the civilization we have built and then, no more worries. It’s a lot easier and the rise of the Octopods will be smoother if we humans just enjoy ourselves on the way out and don’t stick around for their eventual ascendancy. :)

This is fantastic. It’s like a bunch of Time Team recreations mashed together into one amazing slice of Britain’s past.

It feels like a way to enhance the movies and tell supporting stories, which I like, but eventually the series will end up becoming stale as the movies move beyond the current phase. I think five seasons/series/years would be good. End it on purpose and let the Netflix Marvel shows tell the supporting stories when…

Correction noted and I am thankful for it. :)

Shows how much of an impact the episode had on me. Not that much! But then every TV series is like that, with the filler, one-off story episodes, and those can be the forgettable things. Thank you for the correction!

Female superhero for a Thor movie? Valkyrie? I have just the person...

Yes, the Enchantress made an appearance in Agents of Shield and Sif was sent to find her. It was an okay episode. But the new episodes will make us forget a lot of the past ones because, yay S3 of AOS!

Thank you. Sometimes I make sense. Ha! :)

I like that line of thinking. I agree with the assesment. It will be interesting to see what the Vikings TV show will do since they went the lame limb way for Ragnar’s youngest son.

Scandinavians had a number of insults in nicknames and some could be compared to those we have today. So yes, i potent is a very good argument.

My nickname seems tame, now. Boring. Lauren Danger? Nothing compared to The Great Asparagus or The Black Swallow of Death.

Fantastic. Thank you for that bit of info about the paintings. They could get some sort of wheeled drone/camera on an RC car and get some grat images if there is a chamber to look at, and I hope there is!
