I have a cousin - very distant cousin - in Ruritania. I recently
visited that country, and met him, and we were stricken at how similar we looked - the same long sharp noses, red hair... Shave me, and we are undistinguishable!
Then, it happened so that my cousin... well, fell ill and he had to be in a very important function. If he didn't go, he'd be done! So, I volunteered to help him. I shaved, and attended the function with his two old friends. I pretended to be him, and no one noticed (it was his first time to appear on public). There I met his fiancee - well, a woman who everybody thought would marry him in time, as their families were close - and fell in love with her... and she - with me!
What should I do now? She thinks I am he! And everybody else, too!

I think you can tell the type of photographer most of the time by the camera bag colour and type do you think this is also?
Press - Black
bird watcher - brown
semi pro - green or blue
are we groomed to act in a style to fit in? the bag has nothing to do with the photos?

it might sound weird I understand but I ask myself this alot. Maybe some of you haven't noticed that mirrors tend to be different but I have. What do we truly look like?

It seems incredible until you consider that every person ever born has been different to every other person before and after.

How do archaeologists know when the writing occurred on an old piece of ivory or bone.
Lets say the ivory is over 5,000 years old. Lets say somebody found the ivory 3,500 years ago and decided to write something on it.
Would the archaeologist date the writing to be as old as the ivory. Can they tell if the writing itself is younger than the material it is written on.

I have a number of 50 year old family photographic negatives. I purchaced an Epson Photoscanner (which scans negatives) to scan these. Unfortunately the negatives do not fit into the film holder and I have no choice but to scan them in the negative, then attempt to reverse the negativity using one of the photo programmes.
Any suggestions for doing this would be most gratefully received

A ransom has been paid, so this poem is "extra."

What can I take?
Thre's no TV ad
to help my heart
stop feeling bad

If I could find
one little pill
would meds relieve
my loving mill?

The turning gears
keep creating lines
for my angel
from ripened vines

But is my will
to love her too strong?
No pill? Give one
more dose of song.


I've been writing poems for more than twenty years.... my method has ALWAYS been to be perfect before a word goes on paper. but with this one, because I constrained myself with syllables and tried to make it as absolutely short as possible, the page is full of cross-outs and revisions.... and I'm still not sure that the two ideas are separate and convergent.... thanks for your input.
