POPSDown Under Bigotry At first I thought this must be a parody piece but then I read that it was written by the vice-chancellor of the Australian Catholic University. A simple substitution of just about any minority in the place of atheists reveals the blatant prejudice and bigotry shown by this fine Christian.

POPSOur Stone Age Ancestors Wore Garish Coloured Clothes He added: 'We were looking to find when the cave was occupied, what was the nature of the occupation by those early hunter-gatherers, where did they go hunting and gathering food, what kind of stone tools they used, what types of bone and antler tools they made and how they used them, whether they made beads and pendants for body decoration, and so on. 'This was a wonderful surprise, to discover these ancient flax fibres at the end of this excavation project.' The researchers also found remains of animal hair, skin beetles and moths.

MORE: Orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatu) The Hymenopus coronatu, aka Orchid mantis, is a variety of flower mantis usually found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Doesn’t the mantis pictured look just like an orchid? They hide in the flowers they resemble, waiting for other delicious insects to alight. (Photo by: Paul F. Wagner) Hercules Beetle (Dynastes Hercules) A species of rhinoceros beetle that lives in South America, the Hercoles Beetle can grow to over 6 inches in length (counting its horns), but its claim to fame is its strength: it can support 850 times its own weight on its shell! This beetles eats only vegetation and is not aggressive, except to other Hercules beetles, when males fight each other over females. (Photo by: Tomas Libich) Giant Camel Spider (Arachnid Solifugae) Perhaps we would never --or rarely-- have heard of such a creature if it was not because of the tales and photos the United States Servicemen in the Persian Gulf War and afterwards the Iraq War car

POPSStoring wool clothing & things
For storage of wool sweaters, a simple wash is usually best. Let dry completely. If you need to store in an airtight container, be aware that the natural oils may cause “sweating” and discolor, which is why we try to stay away from plastic bags. Gram has folded her hand-knit sweaters and set them on a cedar plank (it is just set on top of the shelf) in the closet since 1930. She has yet to have a single moth or bug. When you can’t smell the sharp cedar smell, you can freshen the plank with sandpaper. I think she replaces the plank once a decade. I do use clear plastic totes, but mine are not airtight and I check to ensure there is no moisture under the lids after the first few hot days. I have a handful of cedar cubes that I toss into a bag for each box. The hubby just cut up a piece of cedar for those. I have my first hand knit wool square from 1977, and have never had a problem with moths or bugs - to this day it is as soft as the minute it came off the needles
