I Dig Palaeontology. What?

So I was looking for a random word. A random longish word. Nothing like the non-abbreviated form of Teflon. Now that's a word.

Palaeontology. The study of ancient life.

What is technically "ancient"?

To me 17 is "ancient".

Is there a precise dating system?

Genesis 1:1 - 1 A.D. = Ancient
2 A.D. - Present = Just Freaking Old

Maybe.

In other news, blog etiquitte is a subject that should never become news but, in other new, has become news.

What?

Oh. Yes. Blog etiquitte.

Rule 1: Don't post twice in a row. This is obviously just a desperate attempt to either A) fill a post quota or B) Get lots of attention and become the favorite blogger.

Rule 2: Never slander another blogger. Stupid rule.

Rule 3: Never say words that could be offensive to the reading audience. That's a load of SPATULA.

Rule 4: Do not try to sway the poll in a positive direction towards oneself, Nolan. (Also, never break Rule 2. The stupid rule.)

Rule 5: Don't make your blog post have massive pictures of Shania Twain or fecal waste. (This is a fairly new rule)

Rule 6: Don't rate your own posts. That's deception!

On the subject of tags (no not the amazing dog [one person {maybe two} may actually get this. The rest of you can guess]), why don't we use them? I mean, we want people to Google random things like, I dunno, Hippo racing (a few people will get this and one of them might be either A) flattered or B) screaming for recognition), and actually find the blog.
