Skeletons in the Palace

A colleague of mine - an archaeologist - is currently on sabbatical in Greece, where he is doing some major archaeological digging, with the help of a couple teams of students. The dig site is an ancient palace.

This week, he found a human skull.

This is a big thing for an archaeologist. Really big.

I went to the Hallmark store to look for a "congratulations on your grisly discovery" card, but they were fresh out, so I e-mailed him a nice note instead, wishing him lots of luck in digging up other skeletal remains at the site.

Seriously. This is pretty cool. And it has the potential to be really big.

You never can find that card at Hallmark that you really need...They need to hire some more creative people to increase the size of cards for occasions.
