What could we talk about... hmm... Well... *evil grin* We could talk about the history of food. It has had quite an interesting evolution. Hotdogs, jello, icecream, chocolate, coffee, etc.

For instance: Jello was originally boiled animal fat. I don't think it tasted that great... anyway, it used to be a big thing to have elaborate jello molds of copper or something like that, and it was quite the thing to have jello. Does anyone know how we got from that to the yummy sugary thing we have today? I don't remember...

They´re cool... from the mithological views.. :p
Yes I´m a mitology freak, surprised? :p
Yeah I think that Carta... ok I can´t spell this anyway were their relatives & successors.. at least Dido [she fell in love with Eneus and made a suicide] was.. a dughter or a sis of a phoen.. ok whatever king.
Anyone here knows anything about Jews before the Roman wars - or Egyptians? I have some clue but otherwise I´m just blank-minded.

So any particular interests? I feel stupid to say this, but I am darn interested about my own countries struggle in the WW2 all tough that sounds very self centered and I am always willing to spread the story of my peoples survival all tough that freedom came with a price...

Sure... hmh I guess the ottoman warfare was more based on cavalry and archers than actual melee infantry in the medieval times? just a guess

I'm not too knowledged in the Ottoman Empire, but I do know a bit about English/Scottish history with the King's and Queen's. We had quite a few problems there...

I also enjoy Greek mythology, mostly because there are so many ways it has affected our culture today.

Very true, well they probably had the first notable historians and philosophers in the world (I mean the greeks had there would be no mythology without the greeks)

I learnt about how cannons work today in history, I never knew before what exactly they did. THey bounced the ball off the floor just infront of the army, and the ball walloped straight through the army, breaking arms and legs clean off! Gruesome, no?

True, or well depends where it lands, but still yes because they weren`t explosive at that time so why not take a line of men with em that were marching straight towards you without taking any kind of cover?
