groing up on a bi generational home you learn many things it's almost like learning two different cultures even though you speak the same language one is for the here and now and the other one was how you were raised and your perspective on the inside.
@Jacqueline Hyde, aside from the obvious common ones that we use on the forum, I can speak some native African languages and Arabic. I've somewhat recently learned Greek.))

I learned Arabic because an archivist friend in the UAE showed me a book called "The Perfumed Garden" and it (by no small measure) is the only 'religious' erotic text written in Islam.))

Update on the Louvre Robbery: there are four more being arrested today, unfortunately there's no trace of the jewels being found since October 19th according to BBC News.
You know, there was a question from one of my fb pages I follow that asked, if time travel were possible what event would you visit in history and change. My response was that I'd stop or make sure Hitler were never born. And then I began thinking about it. And thought....how would that change ACME? Would we still be Anerican and international? Would we still have The united nations and NATO?
