By the way...
Just started school again, and have been in charge of taking people to work during both the first and third shift, so I haven’t had much time to sleep or work on the blog.
Doesn’t help that I’ve been stuck with a netbook while I run around taking people everywhere, and it’s terribly unfriendly dealing with tens of thousands of graphic files at one time.
I’ll be back...

haylsifer asked: More fish? Or do you have anything on small animals? Chinchillas, guinea pigs, and other currently domesticated rodents? I know the essential history of the chinchilla being brought to the United States but aside from that, I'm at a loss.

guthbrand asked: Have you heard of the TV show Horrible Histories? I know many of their sketches do not relate to this blog, but a fair amount do. Like the 'Historical Hospital' sketches, where doctors from various time periods use their cures on modern people.
