I've seen (recently) ads on TV that inform me that talcum powder can cause cancer (and apparently has) and that "if (I've ever) had any used on me, used any on myself, know anyone who has, have ever walked past anyone"....etc....or if I've ever taken testosterone cremes, had a hip replaced, had vaginal mesh used on, near or within a reasonable distance from me....I'm pretty much fucked and I deserve cashola.

So, it occurred to me (in all deference), having dealt with (and in respect for all) attorneys most of my adult life that, if I've ever pissed you off, if you thought I may have pissed you off, if you believe fervently that I've pissed you off, if you're an ex girlfriend, a future girlfriend, a current girlfriend, wish you were a girlfriend, glad you aren't a girlfriend, or know anyone who may have been (or may not have been) a past, former, current or future girlfriend, you may possibly be in line for a cash settlement.

It wasn't just snakes. They made mounds in the shapes of numerous animals.

Yes, the History channel has gone reality based and hysteria based and we amend Shakespeare...to include bankers. I suppose though that it would (did) get pretty boring going over the same history again and again and.....

How about the history of the constitution where even a federal judge has said as recently as 2003 that the 16th amend. was never passed, or the history of law that requires one to pay federal income taxes of which of course...there is none ? How about the lightening speed with which the 25th was passed and how about the all too short history of the constitutional convention ?

How about the history of banking say going back to the formation of the bank of England and its influence on our revolution ? That would be a good one.

How about the biggy...the history of the CIA ? Think with all of that...'history'...they'd get in trouble ?

You should try it sometime. It's a cool feeling.

Status: offline 		Since I was raised in Ohio, the "Great Serpent Mound" was always part of Ohio history in the classroom. It's way down in the southern part of the state, somewhere. I never knew they had similar mounds in Scotland.

It wasn't presented as any kind of conspiracy theory, just kind of like Stonehenge and crop circles, they just don't really know how it got there and why. They've carbon dated it back to way B.C., I forget the exact dates they gave. Saying it lined up to the constellation Draco the Dragon was a stretch, IMO, it's more like a weak theory of why they built it like they did, whoever they were. Personally, I didn't think it looked anything like the constellation.

Growing up in the country, we had a snake living in our basement and a big "black snake" living in the barn. Between them and the cats, we never saw mice or rats. Unfortunately, the black barn snake met a brutal and untimely death when one of the horses stomped it to death :(

Thanks ES, but I'll leave you the reptiles. I'll stick to dogs and horses.

Which show is that...could it be the one that will never cover the greatest conspiracies ?
