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."
