POPSAbout eggs "Eggs have been known to, and enjoyed by, humans for many centuries. Jungle fowl were domesticated in India by 3200 B.C.E. Record from China and Egypt show that fowl were domesticated and laying eggs for human consumption around 1400 B.C.E., and there is archaeoligical evidence for egg consumption dating back to the Neolithic age. The Romans found egg-laying hens in England, Gaul, and among the Germans. The first domesticated fowl reached North America with the second voyage of Columbus in 1493." ---Encyclopedia of Food and Culture, Solomon H. Katz, editor, William Woys Weaver, associate editor 2003, Volume 1 (p. 558)

POPSThe Crushing Burden of Multiple Deployments In April, Veterans for America's Wounded Warrior Outreach Program released two reports, The Consequences of Churning and Weekend Warriors to Frontline Soldiers, that showed that not only are these repeated deployments taking their toll on returning servicemembers with increased incidents of combat stress, but many frontline units are repeatedly experiencing higher KIA (Killed in Action) than most servicemembers who have been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The repeated deployment of "three deuce five" is hardly unique. The 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division, which has already been deployed three times since September 11, 2001, will be deployed again this fall, making it one of a handful of BCT's that will have seen four tours

POPSThat Wacky Millennium Part VI (1492 - 1512) Many things were happening here at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Columbus bumps into America and thinks it is Asia (at this point of time referred to as "India") Copernicus has a small disagreement with the Catholic Church (they call these things "heresies.") and Inquisition is torturing any suspected heretic or witch they can find... Makes you kind of glad you missed those days, right?

POPSRepublicans on Climate; Ignorant and Proud of it A Congressional Insiders Poll show that the GOP not only puts out anti-climate propaganda, but they believe it too. I suppose it shouldn't surprise anyone that they're mostly stupid on this issue, for the most part they think invading Iraq was a wonderful idea.

POPSJohn "Christ" McCain? Showing the eloquence demanded by the head of the Georgia state GOP, Sue Everhard, demonstats the strange reasoning of religious politicians. She makes the direct comparison of McCain to Jesus Christ and then denies making this comparison immediately afterwards. Oh well. :-(
