Wow, you are REALLY bad at understanding when something is sarcastic.

oh, and che, if you want the english site, take it :
http://www.euratlas.com
btw, these maps ,are a part of even larger maps , i think, because you can see that some of the inscriptions are chopped out. Accurate historical geopolitical maps of the entire world , for each century? I wish I could put my hands on THAT.

Oh, I dunno. My post was not really referring to that.
Dissident made a comment on page 1, that "hey we still speak latin and use roman numerals, so the romans must have won" . . . which is QUITE obviously sarcastic. But good ol' dan here, bright guy that he is, just didn't seem to get that, when he posted, protesting. . .well you saw what he posted.
He really had a hard time getting my sarcasm in a thread a few days ago too.

I wanted to be a vulcanologist when I grew up. It's just as well I didn't, as I'm asthmatic. It'd be like being a marine biologist who has an allergy to sea water.
I guess they've revised the estimates of Mazama's explosion/collapse.
