    turned off my room fan, it's been on for 3 months, but now my fridgerator is louder.


    my asterix comics are all in french. i thought it would motivate me to learn the language. now i can't help but wonder if the plot is interesting.


    so, the Gauls became France and the Franks became Germany? but Franks sounds closer to France?

    Visigoths became Spain?

    Picts and Celts, hmm, in the same time period?

    Etruscans.

    So I'm like trying to plan my trip to Australia in 2014 right? I'm looking for information about the visa process on the U.S. Embassy government website. Somehow I ended up on an Australian website for Australian citizens. I'm not an Australian who wants to visit the U.S. lol Uh... I need to backtrack my steps. Maybe the U.S website posted the wrong link or I am looking at the wrong page?

    Anyways, looks like I'll miss the Royal Melbourne Show next week and the Melbourne Cup this year. At least I'll be able to save money for my trip (hotel, airfare, food). Later

    Edit: I must be half asleep because I am on melbourne.usconsulate.gov not travel.state.gov :red:

    I picked up Growing Up for Gen 2 and immediately wanted to make Sam a kid, so here's Samuel, age 5, watching Saturday morning cartoons with Grandpa Jiro looking on in amusement.

    Looks good. So, does growing up provide toddler size as well? I thought I read somewhere that they missed that. And what about babies and infants. Is Genesis Baby still all we have in the Genesis line? (which I can't afford, waiting to see if it goes on sale this month)

    Toddler sizes, yes. Growing up does not have a baby size/shape. I'm off to bed. Bye

    Judging by the ages in those thumbnails, the answer is actually no! A toddler is between 1 and 3 years old. The word toddler is taken from the word toddle, which is a word that describes the way the child begins to walk, unsteady and teetering back and forth, rather than the normal stride of older children and adults (except perhaps for drunken adults :smirk: ).

    We needed rain. We got rain...4-6 inches in one hour. Relatively dry at my house, but I'm going down to the creek to check it out in a bit. Yesterday morning it had water finally, but not much.

    With the Genesis version of Growing up, you can dial in some of the Basic Child morph to make the character younger than 5. Dial it all the way and you get something close to baby proportions.

    Nice render, fyredrygyon...but I hope he keeps a lock on those swords!

    Gauls (and Britons) were both Celtic. Picts were the ancient inhabitants of Scotland, pre-Celtic. Etruscans were the pre-Roman power in northern and central Italy, suppressed and absorbed by Rome. Franks were one of the groups of Germanic invaders as Rome fell, and yes settled in northern France pushing the Celts to the periphery (as "Saxons", really a motley group of peoples, did in Britain). Visigoths were as you say (again leaving Celts in the fringes, in Gallicia).

    From what I recall, no fact-checking performed for this post.

    wondering if the Iceni survived at all? i read the one Boudicca story, but no mention afterwards.

    was watching the closing credits of Underworld movie, there were a few Attila names in there.
    Huns must be the root of Hungary ;)

    it would be interesting to see the family tree of Her Majesty.
    somehow Britain lost all their royal heirs, so they brought in monarchs from Germany?

    or Charlemagne's family tree

    Cromwell was the depressing King.

    The Iceni were one of the original tribes which were living in Britain prior to the Roman Invasion. At that time Britain was didvided up into tribal areas, which was one reason why the Romans found it so easy to get a hold on Britain.

    Since they were in east Anglia, which was where soem of the earliest Angle (hence Anglia, and indeed English) settlements were probably not as such, though it's unlikely all of the people would have been exterminated.

    The Hanoverians were in the line of descent, just not the most immediate (the problem was finding someone who was a) not Catholic and b) would accept limits to his powers).

    Jiro does not need to worry about Sam and swords. Jiro has been training Samuel in martial arts and weapons since Samuel could crawl. Mind, at this age Samuel's weapons are made of plastic. But there is an entire clan of blood thirsty ninjas after Jiro and little Sam, so the child needs every edge Grandpa can give

    I think I should tone down the dancing a bit next time. The creek's flowing nicely and even saw one of the turtles back swimming around.
