Quote: Images collected by Cold War spy satellites have revealed 10,000 unknown archaeological sites in the Middle East, showing thousands of ancient cities, roads, canals, and other undiscovered ruins.
The new CORONA Atlas shows previously undiscovered sites in Turkey, Iraq and Syria believed to date back to the Bronze Age. University of Arkansas archaeologist Jess Casana said “We can see all kinds of things- ancient roads and canals. The images provide a very comprehensive picture.”
Science - it works.

I have to admit I'm a little concerned by that great big fuck-off crater right in the middle of town.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
