    At age 12, I could not be bothered with this information, but at 58yrs I am eager to learn, rapt with attention. I think we live our lives in reverse to what they should be. We study when we should be outside playing games and learning social skills, and we are "headed for the barn" when we could be back in school to learn about the world we inhabit and the lives our ancestors lived.

    As a teen in the 80's/90's I thought that Spitting Image was a comedy programme. But when Blairs Labour party came into power they announced that the show would end because they didnt see that they would have the opportunity to take the piss out of the labour government! For me this was an important moment because I realised then that most tv people in the UK were/are left wing activists and that spitting image had been trying to harm the conservative side of politics while pretending to just be a comedy show. I will never forgive them for denying me sketches showing Tony Blair french kissing Gordon Brown, Two Jags Prescott dressed as a woman or a puppet showing Cherie Blair as a robot or something. That would have been just as funny as their sketches about Thatcher or John Major but when labour came to power in 97 they were so partisan that they couldnt bring themselves to insult their favourite party. Pathetic, really pathetic.

    She's just airing dirty laundry. You don't learn anything about Newton's work, but that's probably an outmoded 19th century focus. Also, Newton was apparently a really worthless self-promoter whose own ideas were somehow quickly eclipsed by two female translators. A fair picture.

    I like how the vast majority of these tablets are not poetry or scholarly things but rather... things simple and perhaps considered by many as boring: law or accounting... but in fact, THAT MAKES IT EVEN COOLER AND INCREDIBLE, because it shows us how it has always been, the first civilizations had organization and even already knew or rather applied the concept of accounting, mathematics, writing as an efficient means of communication, laws, basic astronomy, etc. Practical and necessary thing for stability and the formation of a good base for a great civilization.

    But he completely exaggerates the importance of what a victory for Napoleon would have left, nothing. He would have ended up with 60,000 exhausted soldiers, no ammunition or horses and three more armies of at least 100,000 men each, converging on Paris, or wherever he was. Conscriptions, mounts and chemicals and metal needed to make more war were all gone. So, even if he wins he still looses.
