Very strange seeing 100 year old color photos which were not hand tinted, very cool though, I like the Emir guy in blue.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Oh, I saw those a few years ago, but had forgotten them. They're wonderful, like looking through a time portal. And they really are color photography, not monochrome photos that have been painted.

| What happened looked a lot like last year when I lost my computer for several weeks due to AntiVirusXP2008. The virus could be from outside but I'm not taking any chances. My computer showed the page then went somewhere else. So Newsweek or not - not gonna go there. |
