I wish that I was still in anthropology and got to be in your class everyday. I learned so much. As great as it is to read your blog, it's just not the same as class. I love it when you add new stories, but you haven't in a long time and believe me, I check that much. Let me know how life out of BHS is for you!

However, you needn't bother, as I now have conclusive proof that no such rink exists.<br /><br />At the showing of a recent Hollywood debacle at a cinema in Chicago, I had the good fortune to see the coming attractions for several movies, including one with the pithy title of "2012." As we all know, the ancient Mayan calendar predicted some cataclysmic event for that year. Well, the movie preview shows the collapse of the Eiffel Tower. I watched very closely--in fact, I stayed for a second showing to ensure that my eyes did not deceive me--and there was no ice-skating rink (or swimming pool for that matter).<br /><br />Ergo, we finally have proof positive that the skating rink is merely a fabrication.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903604368451700474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-70795540662254509582009-08-20T02:59:54.806-04:002009-08-20T02:59:54.806-04:00If you have furthur reasearch on them,I'd be g...If you have furthur reasearch on them,I'd be glad to share with you sir.<br /><br />My email address: yushenghuan@gmail.com<br /><br /><br />The following are the links of the documentary about Yung Wing and his kids.<br /><br />http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1205725336270415<br /><br />http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1205725413944438<br /><br />http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1205725469110441<br /><br />http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1205725520427388<br /><br /><br />http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1205725576812463Yushenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410346479478665684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-35109423953137662412009-08-20T02:41:56.339-04:002009-08-20T02:41:56.339-04:00As a Chinese,I appreciate a lot for your concern a...As a Chinese,I appreciate a lot for your concern about this part of history.<br /><br />I am a chinese student and watched a documentary about Chinese Educational Mission.I am so proud and impressed by Yung Wing and his kids.<br /><br />Thank you again.Yushenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410346479478665684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-82522114541882116932009-06-30T21:43:06.730-04:002009-06-30T21:43:06.730-04:00Thanks for your post, Michael.

Quite an amusing twist. Do look at Bill's discussion of anthropology on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXkR6AyQRqM.

Now I need those bullocks for my lawn here (I don't care for mowing and my garden needs fertilizer). Goats are bad for lawns, they pull up grass by the roots; we had one for a while in Patna and the lawn was never the same thereafter.N.

It is like a smaller Indian version of Digg. Since your posts are often related to India, you can share it on Rambhai. It is highly frequented by Indian bloggers. You might even become one of the popular users. Bye!

You see once at my agriculture college, the grounds had overgrown grass right after the monsoons and nobody was doing anything about it, so we complained to the authorities. Guess what we saw the next day. Some 40 goats and 10 buffaloes had been let loose on the grounds to get rid of the grass. It was all gone in 3 days. No labor charges whatsoever! Someone could learn a lesson or two about cost-cutting (or misery) from my college’s management guys.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190660141700293947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-89158335552440339602009-02-07T17:06:00.000-05:002009-02-07T17:06:00.000-05:00When I lived in daBronx in the early 1970s, a Kosh...When I lived in daBronx in the early 1970s, a Kosher supermarket had many Muslim customers because the rules of Kashrut and Halal are so similar.<BR/><BR/>Halal translates as "lawful" and Kosher is "fit" (for consumption) so both should be both.<BR/><BR/>As Rodney said, "Can we all get along?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-69160631610153122022008-12-22T00:12:00.000-05:002008-12-22T00:12:00.000-05:00Nice effectNice effectAndrea®https://www.blogger.com/profile/16360954318895756810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-70435635764178172402008-11-30T13:51:00.000-05:002008-11-30T13:51:00.000-05:00What a story !I am glad to refer to your family st...What a story !<BR/>I am glad to refer to your family story from our blog:<BR/>http://shorashim.blogli.co.il/archives/438<BR/> <BR/><BR/>Rony, Israel<BR/>Mishpachtobloia<BR/>http://shorashim.blogli.co.il/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-18088972576431640392008-11-20T05:44:00.000-05:002008-11-20T05:44:00.000-05:00Made my way here via Beth's blog..U have a great b...Made my way here via Beth's blog..U have a great blog here..Going thru the archives..Silent Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831699744957751937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-1808010702057835752008-11-16T21:52:00.000-05:002008-11-16T21:52:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296407098387050782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095560084464855459.post-84738690001440201852007-11-03T12:21:00.000-04:002007-11-03T12:21:00.000-04:00Funny you should ask!
