Hey hobferret,
I believe JuneMouse was just joining in the general fun and humour attempts of our exchange by making an "offtopic" comment about "our" "offtopic" discussion. If you were wearing your spectales, you would have drawn that conclusion from the tiny comment after the "*", whereby JuneMouse noted his own clever postcounting increase technique.And when I watched National Treasure I was mostly struck by two things and did not catch the disappearing spectales, probably because, again, I was not wearing my own. 1. I was SO releaved that someone finally found those missing scrolls from the Library of Alexandria. There were a few I had not had time to finish reading before the fire and I hate starting to read something and not get to finish. 2. I was amazed that such a large cavern under a well build-up area in a major U. S. city had not been discovered by any pipeline, electrical conduit, or foundation piling in over 200 years. Wonder what's hiding under a city near you? Oh I remember, just the "underground" and some unexploded ordinance from WWII. For me, it's only just part of the Hayward Fault, waiting for the next big earthquake. And just a small "technical" point. Your "copy" is either a "copy" OR "the original." It can't be the "original copy." And what's "really" on the back? "What's on the Back? People who watched the popular movie "National Treasure" want to know. On the back, at the bottom, upside-down is simply written: "Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776" According to the National Archives, "While no one knows for certain who wrote it, it is known that early in its life, the large parchment document was rolled up for storage. So, it is likely that the notation was added simply as a label." Regards,

I did notice JuneMouse's comment, how do you know that person is male. You really are too clever, but that's why you are admim eh. If you have the DVD "National Treasure" the disappearing spectacles; this can clearly be seen when Justin Bartha is running the surveillance cable and afterwards when he returns to the van. The missing scrolls from the Library of Alexandria, so you never cease to amaze me, you read Greek too! Hey man did you know they recently "dug up" a spitfire buried 20 feet down in the middle of London. So one never knows what lies beneath our cities. It is the "original copy" i.e. the first copy made by hand of course! The Declaration of Independance, on the back as far as I know is what you say, although there is some talk of the Liberty Bell. How or why I don't know. Maybe the "real" Declaration was stolen by a British secret agent a la 007, sent in by George III. Strange lot these Brits. /hobferret |
