A project manager would never ask for that. Sales & Marketing would ask for that. A project manager would simply reply, "That's not in the spec."

Cat adorability isn't quantifiable. Lucky for you, as my cat would win paws down. Look at her little beans!!

Tag yourself I'm both jars. Speaking of jars, during the late Iron Age, the dead in Scandinavia were almost exclusively cremated. The cremains were then placed in JARS, buried and covered with a layer of rocks called a stone setting. Stone settings are usually round but may be square or triangular. They may be flat or mounded, with mounds more common towards the end of the Iron Age.

Thanks! I just sprayed tea all over myself. The cat ran for her life. I thought the guy in peach was naked from the waist down except for his trouser legs.

I am studying archaeology, and the topic of my essay this term is language development as traced through runestones and early Christian graves. I have a fair few photos :-)

Aren't I?! Yes I take all pictures myself, otherwise I credit the photographer. This stone is about an hour away from my home.

Runestone from the mid to late 1000s located in the village of Hov, Sweden. This one is a whopper, 2m high and 1.7m wide. Many runestones were repurposed as building material - this one was found in 1867 built into the cellar of a manor house. Here is another cross - the majority of 11th century runestones reference Christianity in the text, decorations or both.
Old Norse translitteration:
Tunna/Tonna satti stæin þ[annsi æf]tiʀ sinn ver Þorfast. Vas hann manna mæstr oniðingʀ.
English:
Tunna/Tonna placed this stone in memory of her husband Þorfastr. He was the most unvillainous of men.
