You'll be directing, of course! And I agree with you on the chocolate-less 3rd century...

We need a stage, an audience, and then the characters line up
each with a big foam bopper.
Naut delivers his line, then bops Corbin. Corbin does the same only in reverse.
Then one of the others delivers his/her line, until the whole scene is performed, and the performers exit stage left. The audience, also equipped with foam boppers, begins pummelling from left to right, a sort of wave action that concludes with one roar of laughter. That no chocolate thing would make the third century mighty unappetizing...

I'm with Wiley. You know the Apostle John was boiled in oil three times and did not die. He had strong asbestos cream I guess.

Good question! I really don't know why in some cultures where cannibalism was definitely
not practiced, the 'roasting' of people was. Might be an interesting study, although not necessarily to my taste...

One thing puzzles me .what was with all the burning of people to
death in the old days? If they werent burning them at the steak..oops,sorry stakes, they were pplacing them on iron stoves. I wonder if this was where the barbecue originated from??

well, I'm not an astronomer, but I think even your dad would agree with me that the thing doesn't miraculously change from a
meteor 10 to the minus 43 seconds before it hits into a
meteorite when it
does...

Offy, hon,
you too? I either take my boat out, pretty well 20 or thirty miles offshore (of course, there is usually little wind, so I have to motor), and watch it from there, or I drive about the same distance North, away from the lights of the city! On the boat, I usually take a few friends along, and at some point some of us will sleep while one guy stands watch...
This year, I'll be driving North, no boat...

That's an interesting way to distinguish meteors from meteorites.
My dad, an astronomer said that they were meteors until they touched down, and then they were meteorites--but I think your version is more accurate, actually.

I love to lay on a blanket on a nice August evening and watch the Perseids..When I lived in FL Keys I used to take my boat out and watch them at sea..Sometimes it seemed like I could reach out and catch one.
Another time my ex husband and I were driving down to West Palm Beach from Dallas..Right around Lake Okachoobe (spelling) you could see them flying right and left, but alas the bugs were hitting the windshield. They are big down there...anyway I told him to stick his head out the window and watch while I drove. About 3 minutes later I had to use the windshield cleaner to clear the big bugs...His head came back inside the car and he had bugs in his teeth...He didn't get angry, but he sure looked funny....
