The pictures of the Big Bang were taken by satellites called WMAP and COBE.

Yes, it didn’t happen unless it’s in popups. (Reminds me of one of my fave vids – a parody of Bush talking about “global warmings”) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOjfxEejS2Y

I was amazed when I watched Spartacus and learned that the ancient Romans had wrist watches and sneakers!

I read (was it on this blog?) that some fundy radio stations (in the US) play a bastardised version where the line is “and one religion too”. Now that’s sacrilege.

It’s getting better the more I think about it…

it’s not meant to be taken uber-literal…

“But, how do you know the intent of the author? Have you ever met the author?”

Daniel, are you arguing that this statement should be taken metaphorically?

If so, I’m going to remember that and use it as a defense next time I get criticized for my own metaphorical interpretations!!!

You know, some of those might count. Some of them could have been portraits drawn from life!

Nobody trusts pictures anymore, especially when there is Photoshop.

I have to agree. I’m quite certain the Battle of Crécy happened and that Darwin visited the Galapagos but I don’t see pictures.

Of course. A little darker and messier hair for the action pics. He probably just needed a shower and stylist.

I love the history shows on PBS. They had such good video of ancient Egyptians and Roman centurions and politicians too!
Funny, it didn’t improve much between then and the videos of George Washington thousands of years later.
