Great news! I'm sure when the students had an uprising (funded by US spy agencies) to overthrow Asad, this is exactly who they wanted- an Al Queda fundamentalist to rule over them! Another win for the West!

sure, many Americans don't have a great relationship with the map- as per the trope. Even if many Americans are unable to locate Iran on the map, they know that Israel is pulling us into a third world war, at least every time they have to fill their gas tanks, paying historic fuel prices. Thanks,O̶b̶a̶m̶a̶ Israel!

right! Pac wasn't convicted until December of '94, and the R. Kelly 'tapes' came out in '01. The hilarity of accusing others of revisionism

So, who is He-Man, and who is Skelator?

Indeed as the poet Dwayne Carter once said, “if I’m wrong, there is no right/ and if I’m wrong, there is Snow White”.

You were expecting a review to overturn the standard Fagles for the Iliad, and Lattimore for the Odyssey?

hmm, this feels like ScaleAI

Also, wow! At actually implying the Cubs threw games at the Outfit’s behest. Is it blasphemy for me to say for the North Siders,”Say it ain’t so, Joe.”

I know it's cliche at this point to call it a bygone era, but of just 20-some years ago. All those areas are now filled with luxury condos: Greektown, Fulton district, Cabrini, etc. I knew Giancana was originally from the near the Maxwell market, but I did not know that Spilatro's family was from Greektown. I thought they were always Elmwood Park, or at least Grand Ave. boys from the start.

The Kalash language is a mix of the languages found in the region- Tajik, uzbek, tartar, persian, etc. But, there are Greek words for woman, washing, winter, greetings etc used among the several Kalash tribes that are Greek. While even that can be explained under the PIE theory, your statement of 'absolutely nothing to do with Greek' does not stand.

But further study- genetic and archeological- is necessary.

Kalash are a relic of Proto-Indo Europeans is a catch all with no evidence. Such claims with no actual evidence is not worth talking about. But I guess the Greeks did leave behind influence given the new and improved muscled Buddhas that resembled Apollo

It is odd that people choose to ignore actual archeology- especially when it directly corroborates historical text. Which is quite different than folktales- perhaps your reference to 'Israelites' for which there is no real archeological evidence, is there?

Are you confusing correlation with causation? The Kalash are not an isolated group, so much as they have resisted to their best of their ability to mix with their Muslim neighbors (Pakistanis) because they are not of them and consider Phillip II to be their patriarch. The incredible lengths people go to to try and obfuscate the obvious lol... 'Isolated central asian group without much contact or intermixing with subcontinent folks claims ethongenesis with Greeks over 4 thousand miles away'.

More critically? I missed your clear deduction from the evidence on how it is "dumb", as you say. The Kalash are the people who Alexander (sikandar) left behind. So, you realize that is Hellenistic times, and not pre-Greek times (whatever that is) as mentioned in the article, right? Also, your last sentence is confusing as well. Someone does not need to actively disprove all other possibilities to prove what actually was recorded in history. Who do you believe the Kalash are- Sean Connery's subjects as per 'The Man Who Would be King'? lol

Paul, a biological catalyst for biodiesel production is all well and good, but does this process still need an exogenous alcohol- namely methanol, or ethanol?
