That is so awesome...

<3 for the link - how awesome! It's good to know there's a core of people who think this way and would continue with the technical know-how our society relies on. I was contemplating the huge amount of effort it would take to rebuild from stone-aged stuff the other day and it was exhausting to think of all the steps…

I just bought "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" a few months ago and have to say, as far as wild edible plants go, it's a *fantastic* read. The author is funny throughout and the information has all been field-tested either by him and his wife or by people he knows immediately.

gnomebody knows the trouble I seeeeee....

lovelovelovelovelove wonder woman! She actually looks.... GREEK! Like a Greek goddess's daughter ought to! She has a nice strong nose (a facial feature I've always been jealous of) and truly black hair and *eyebrows* that have not been plucked into a holywood fineline.

Hey, the plague is cute too!

They cary the bubonic plague.

I am never ever coming home again. *shudder*

lizards. This is the revenge of the dinosaurs.

...potato pancakes are really delicious with sour cream and applesauce?

Sweet.... a little creepy, but sweet... :)

Right, new reading list is here... Also congratulations Charlie Jane! This is *awesome!*

Absolutely agreed! He's an amazing writer. And he's not in the same category as Charlie Jane, so they can both win!

As this declaration comes in a thread begun by Ugg the Caveman and mostly about bears dismembering people - snowbanks are red, frostbite is blue, if the bears don't get you the wolves surely do.
