looking at it closely, looks like each track/side is around a minute long, so should be just enough playable space between the cutouts and the label.

OK, so MAYBE when I was a kid I had the Aquaman Underoos and MAYBE I wore them in the bathtub one time JUST IN CASE they actually, ya know, did something (besides get sopping wet and get me in trouble).

Star Wars: We Promise These 3 Will Be So Much Better than the Prequels.

For everyone commenting, as far as I know these are being auctioned by the city of Alamogordo, and was always a condition of the excavation.

In the world of archeology, we often say that for every day of fieldwork, there's at least 5 days of follow-up. So I've been working on a report of the survey work done 3 years ago following a natural disaster. (note that this time lag is because of other concurrent projects and not just because it's taken that long,…

Still my favorite of his.

oh yeah, I definitely remember hearing that before, good one!

and that is the scariest thing I'll see all Halloween now.

I'm wearing my glow-in-the-dark Groovie Ghoulies "Batty Bat" shirt today for the same reason!

Lots of Groovie Ghoulies songs to choose from, they were a super-fun Ramonesy pop-punk band who did lots of monster themed tunes (although I don't think they're on Spotify). Choose between Graveyard Girlfriend, (She's My) Vampire Girl, Zombie Crush, Beast with Five Hands, or (for Halloween) a cover of Chuck Berry's Tri…

Contemporary with the Preclassic and Classic Maya cultures. Teotihuacan either influenced or straight up conquered Maya kingdoms as far away as Tikal, as evidenced by Teoithuacan-styled architecture and art touches (such as the talud-tablero) and ornamentation on rulers depicted on stela.

One interesting thing about this find is that The Temple of the Plumed Serpent (later known as Quetzalcoatl) is at the south edge of the central plaza area of Teotihuacan, away from the iconic Pyramid of the Sun (which is an amazing site and a tiring climb that is well worth it). It is the main feature of what is…

Completely different circumstances, and not sure why it matters.

Grizzly Adams in "Elves" Terrifying!

I've read about that, and that frightens me more than my drinking water situation here. I also feel a little guilty about eating almond butter now.

In Texas too, including in areas where water has always been relatively scarce.

The photo in the article says it all: lack of water. There are towns in Texas where they've been down to less than a month's supply of water in their reservoirs, and the water that is there is degrading in quality. Here in Austin, our reservoir is hovering around 35% capacity, and this city adds 110 people a day.…

Those are just fantastic. Think my bank will let me skip on a car payment for a month?

It's certainly a harsh region, but it's also part of the most commonly proposed crossing point from Eurasia to the Americas, which is one reason why archaeologists should be included on these trips. But your original reply is valid and makes good points, particularly related to this particular show/mission.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense in this specific case, although I'm sure there were hunters chasing after Pleistocene megafauna in that area, like this woolly rhino horn spear found off the north coast of Russia recently (by researchers looking for mammoth remains).
