District Judge G. Todd Baugh is mess up. The idea that a teenage rape victim was “asking for it,” is ridiculous. He should not be a judge, period.
Pity we no longer have any signicant remains of the Library of Alexandria. Religious fanatics/misogynists burned the library along with the great mathematician Hypatia.
Ragdish,
I agree. Think of what we could learn if found all the lost manuscripts that were destroyed.
Amanda,
That video about the olinguito was really interesting.
