I'm no specialist either but I'd really like to see a drawing of the images on the stele *and* those on the obelisk. I'm not even sure that the headless human is anything of the sort: turn him around 90 deg. and he resembles the odd animals above. I'll wait for the full publication, I guess.

It's a very nice tin anyway, if not quite worth Euro 99. I think the seller should cancel the 12 Euro shipping charge though: it should be able to deliver itself.

Sorry Heresiarch but it does reek of milking women. Imagine, on the other hand, if it were about milking men of their white stuff.... No, I'm not going to go there. Too much yucky factor.

A former student of Llewelyn Morgan (who wrote the excellent *Buddhas of Bamiyan*) is advising firms prospecting around Kabul. He told Llewelyn that something he wrote a while back -- to the effect that if you scratch the ground in Afghanistan you either find archaeological or mineral treasures -- is in his experience the literal truth, since wherever his people looked they found Buddhist material.

Dear Woolly-Minded,

Not "scare quotes" (as in shock, horror, fright) but quotation marks (as in I am quoting his own phrase).

I do think Mr Green's opinion was rather quickly taken up by some even though it's not the only possible interpretation of law; far from it. Citing him again does not an irrefutable argument make....

A little late but still well worth reading if anyone really believes that Mr Green is the sole voice of the law and 'zombie facts' decider: http://pastehtml.com/view/c91yw7wjy.html

New Statesman: "It is important to remember that complainants of rape and sexual assault have rights too, even when the suspect is Julian Assange." I see you and raise you: http://www.nnn.se/nordic/assange/suspicious.pdf
