Maedhros Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 A guy from Nordland, in the northern parts of Norway, finds roman coin from the time of Marcus Aurelius. It's the northernmost finding of roman coin in Norway. He also found a 1000 year old viking sword. Apparently metal detecting has become a big thing here lately. https://www.nrk.no/nordland/nordligste-funn-av-2000-ar-gammel-romersk-mynt-pa-donna-1.14862482 (google translate needed) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Next U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to be named after African American Pearl Harbor hero First thing that came to my mind was if that was the character Cuba Gooding Jr played in the movie Pearl Harbor. It was. Since this is the random thread, Cuba Gooding Jr went to my high school in Arizona. Not for very long, less than a year, but long enough to be immortalized in a year book and local history. 3 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Did we used to have a military thread? I seem to remember it but I also kinda remember Sinbad playing a genie. Anyways, the new Space Force uniforms are pretty bad in my opinion. They look like the Army pajamas with the old, old jungle/woodland pattern. I was expecting something a little but more spacey and/or modern. I've seen the arguments in favor but I don't think they hold water. I don't care if they think camo is associated with the military or that because almost all will never go to space that they don't need something more fitting. None of them are likely to be out in the field and needing to blend in either. Wasted opportunity to do something interesting.

Guard Dog Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I just saw Tim Tebow got married over the weekend. Well, actually I heard it on SiriusXM, I've got BBC World Morning on while I was in the shower. Anyway... I thought the news guys said he married Demi Lovato. I was a little surprised because she is kind of trashy and has drug problems. Seems an odd choice for that guy. It wasn't. It was Demi Lee Peters the former Miss Universe.
