Thanks--the piece on siege warfare is fascinating.

I'll miss these Monday morning tidbits. Good luck on the job search.

Cutting your hair? NOOOOOOOOO!

Uhm, I'll miss the links, too

Seriously, every Monday's been like a small brain storm session for me, where I sift stuff into my mental pot and let it percolate. I'll really miss it.

Astronomers pinpoint date: This one has already found a home. I'm working on a timeline for a ShadowRun campaign to be run early next year, and this fits beautifully.

Circus Maximus: That elephant breaking loose thing. Yeah. That's making it into Light Against the Dark... just don't tell the players .

Waterwheels: Cool stuff. That's percolating for future reference .
