Jun. 1st, 2011 02:55 pmSeventeen lost pyramids are among the buildings identified in a new satellite survey of Egypt.
More than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements were also revealed by looking at infra-red images which show up underground buildings.
Initial excavations have already confirmed some of the findings, including two suspected pyramids.
*Science*!

I see I'm not alone when it comes to people not taking me at my word when it comes to my food likes & dislikes. I will never understand what is up with that.
Okay, if it's one of my kids and I've offered them something I know for a fact they've never had before, that's different. Then the two bite rule is in effect. But someone who's complete food history is not known to me? Then I'll take them at their word.
I also really, *REALLY* don't like eggnog. It used to be a texture thing, meaning if I was given an eggnog taffy, I could eat it. But now I associate the flavor with the texture so they're both out. I don't mention this much, because someone will ineveitebly say "Oh, you'll love my recipe". NO, I won't as I really and truly hate both the texture and the taste of eggnog. And as I don't drink hard booze because I can always taste the alcohol and do not like it, I won't enjoy it when you put half a cup of rum or whiskey in it either.
What *is* it with people? Why can't we have our likes and dislikes without it getting up someone's nose?

I've been making t-shirts...mostly embroidered, but I have ink-jet transfer paper as well. Which is why Charlie now has two Blue's Clues shirts. *Man* those are hard to find...for some reason.;)
Anyway. I want to make some for me, with things like Geek, Heretic and Queer in *incredibly* fancy fonts. The kind where it's almost hard to read 'cause there are so many swirls. I've been looking at some font sites and found a few, but it would be easier if I had a search term better than "Fancy font". Do the swirly ones have a special name, or do I just dive in and page through the font section of the internets?
