The Ancient Med - not year 1

What year is the Ancient Mediterranean set? Definitely not year 1AD, by then the Med was a Roman Lake. Carthage was destroyed in 146BC, Egypt fell to Rome in 47BC, Greece had been Roman for centuries. Only Persia can claim some independence on that map.

Love Elemantary. I also love to watch Criminal Minds so this last Elementary episode made me giggle. I really like Lucy Liu as Joan Watson. She does a really fantastic job.

I am a fan of Covert Affairs so having Kerry Marchette(sp?) as the profiler was great.

Mola Ram was the bad guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The one that could rip hearts out of people merely by touching their chest.

Celticfox (100 )

I actually have a book that talks about all the historical things found in Indiana Jones and if they were right or not.

Draugnar (0 )

So, is Mola Ram an actual historical figure? Or just fiction? I assumed all of that movie was fictional (the three stones and the details behind the Thuggee cult beyond just the name) but if it has some foundation in history/mythology/religion beyond the name (like the Ark of the Covenant and it's potential resting places or the Holy Grail and the Knights Templar/Knights of the Cruciform Sword as it's guardians), that could be interesting to read up on.

I'll have to pull it out or find it (I think it's still packed away). Honestly I got it at Disneyworld 2 years ago. Made for a nice read on the plane.

Yes, there really was a crystal skull from the lost city of Akator. Yes, it really was a missing alien skull. Yes, it matched the head shape of an extraterrestrial body stored away in Warehouse 51. Yes, when the skull was returned the aliens activated their flying saucer and flew away, destroying the city.

Raiders and LAst Crusade for me. Love em both. And, THM, I try to forget that the mess, "KotCS", was ever created. Seriosuly. Temple had some horrid moments, but that movie started sucking the moment Indy survived an A bomb test by climbing in a refrigerator at ground zero. That stuff leading up to it inside the warehouse and all was cool, but then WTF!? Kind of like Die Another Day - Great up through the Cuba stuff then Halley Berry does the obvious digital cliff dive and it started going downhill fast.

I still wonder how they managed to swap out the basket with Marion when Indy shoots the driver and the truck flips and blows up. Her voice was heard screaming as they put the basket in. But if that is the worst of the flaws, it is still a great film.

Anyone else here a Twin Peaks fan? I saw this art exhibit taking place this weekend near me, thought it looked pretty cool, albeit a bit too many hippies for my taste:

Draws

Sifting through 10 pages of open positions, I am noticing that it's increasingly uncommon that people actually draw for a CD. In a few games, people have pushed for it, and others have seemed to have no understanding as to why they'd draw for a CD. Did this etiquette just disappear like magic? Pre-1903 CDs should *always* constitute a draw and post-1903 CDs should constitute a draw if they result in a loss of a line that would otherwise be present. When did this stop?
