    My current job pays much more than the last and is far easier...technically, I'm not supposed to talk too much about it, which should give you an idea of what it is...

    Have Fun! God I miss my University days....I've only just finished a few months ago.

    Unfortunately there was no real Classics society in our University, so I never got a chance to go to any meetings. I didn't even study any sort of history at University. Wish I had.

     

    Still, It was one of ,if not, THE best times of my live.

     

    So what exactly did you study?

    Lol yea. How big were Murex, and how were they caught? Was it like those tiny feeder fish, could you catch a few thousand in a net all at once? Or did you have to catch them with bait and a hook?

    LW incredibly , I found this defunct site with a murex article.

    http://www.jolique.com/dyes_colorants/purple_passion.htm

     

     

    Yes, very interesting indeed. I do however have a point out a minor point in regards to the article. The article mentions one legend, which credits Helen of Troy as the dye discoverer, who came across it when her dog bit into a sea shell and was coloured purple as a result.

     

    Though there is another legend attached to the dye's discovery. According to the 2nd Century sophist, Julius Pollux, is was in fact Heracles' dog which stumbled across the dye.

    I got me a pint of Boddington's, a loyal dog at me feet, a loyal and beautiful woman in me bed, and more Roman history than I can write in a life time; what more can a man ask for?

     

    1) Pop tarts.

    2) Transformers the Movie on DVD.

    3) A pair of pirate themed long-johns.

    4) A car with 'go-faster' stripes.

    5) The power to control time with my mind.

    6) A grey chinchilla called Dave.

    7) World peace A 1974 custom telecaster.

    Aggg... wisdom teeth. I had all four out when I was 16 and had a prescription of Tylenol with codeine for pain... well codeine makes me vomit violently (twice, because I was a retard and didn't realize I was reacting to medication) and I ended up reopening the sutures. I won't divulge the particulars, but it gives me the willies just thinking about it.

     

    That's the sort of pain I went through; I just didn't what to scare young Antiochus.
