    From what I've heard there are ancient stone platforms, several meters high and something like 20 by 30 feet in area. Don't know if that's the exact dimensions, but from what I remember they were made by ancient inhabitants of the islands thousands of years ago. I don't know if I am mixing them up with something else or if they are in the Azores, but on one of those islands there are these...large raised patios for lack of a better word :P I remember seeing a show where some people thought they might be remnants of Atlantis...no comment, but who knows?

    I'll go look on Google and see what I come up with :P

    And PLEASE don't tell how much my muscled cuirass stinks LOL :D There is still a bit of work to be done on it, namely bolding dates and italicizing funny words. But there it is :band:

    Enjoy! Next it is on to an article called "Blades of the Shah-an-Shah"......

  21. ETH Poll #5 - Fears And Phobias

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I voted heights because I have reasons for all of the other ones:

    Death - I'm a Christian, so that's the gateway to a new life

    Disease/Pain - see above, its part of the trip

    Darkness - same things that are in the light are there in the dark, plus just eat lots of carrots :P

    Closed Spaces- there is always a way out....

    Animals/Creatures - My family has 2 dogs, 2 cats, and something like 12 fish, plus I've raised chickens and looked after neighbor's pigs, chickens, turkey's, cows, and horses in the past. Plus I've had close encounters with bears and moose.

    Flying - my dad owns an airplane and I've loved flying for as long as I can remember....

    Crime/Violence - I study karate (wouldn't mind trying it out :P) and see "Death"

    Social Situations - I really don't give a fig what people think of me, if you don't like it, too bad for you! :P

    Loved Ones Dying - see "Death"

    I chose Height because its the one on the list that I like the least, but its better now (worked on a guys house on a scaffold for 2 weeks this fall)

    Now one thing I really hate is FIRE! I don't know why, its so volatile, I think that's what I don't...Plus I've had to fight at least 3 fire situations, so that colors my vision! LOL
