    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    And earlier every year. I work for a large retail concern which will go unnamed. They started shipping Christmas junk by the truckload in April! Almost an entire truckload every week as well as the junk for intervening lesser holidays. I used to like the season, can't stand all the hypocrisy...

    Ancient Egyptian Coffin.... in an Essex Living Room

    I believe you are referring to a pigment called "mummy", otherwise known as asphaltum, as it was the actual petroleum based substance the Egyptians supposedly used. It was believed in the 16th century that mummy as a pigment had lost some of it's volatile hydrocarbons with age, and the ground up...

    Ancient Egyptian Coffin.... in an Essex Living Room

    Hmm,..maybe there were enough of them to burn as fuel for a while? Egypt had no coal reserves to speak of,..Also heard that they were ground up and used as a medicine! :puke: Horrifying!

    What could be more fun than a vintage P-51??

    Nice grouping on the target too. If he was really able to fly and aim the target would be history. :D

    Guys, check out this star sportswear post war A2 mod

    Nice one. Could be the same pattern. Why would they feel compelled to change it much any time soon after the war? Seems the minor changes were made for the civilian market so as to make it a little more versatile for the average Joe. It's cool that it still has the hook and eye latch at the neck.

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Yeah I'm thinking of getting a phone just for emergency use, but don't want the temptation of pecking away at the "keyboard" every spare moment that most folks seem to do who own them. Nor do I need an expensive calling plan for something I'd use maybe once a year.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Vintage WWII Airplanes hiding away...

    If only there was a way to make these old planes crash proof, other than just not flying them. There's been far too many crashes recently.

    Awesome. Thanks for posting. Hopefully these old birds get good new homes.

    Seems there's still time to get onboard for this one,...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEO

    It's those time capsules that were unintentional that are the most amazing.
