Was an amulet of Talos from Skyrim inspired by that design?

Hey I just watched the episode where they first meet him in person and have diplomatic talks with the goaulds. This show is so great.

When I was a kid my buddy's mom was from Scotland she told us people would go from house to house drinking. Like you'd go to your neighbors house then everyone would walk to the next and so on and so on, gathering up more folks for the party. Any truth to this?

But you did want a piece of history in your hand. This is probably the only possible way I'm afraid.
Unless you're like stinking rich.

> Fuarag
This was a new term to me.
It sounds very much like Cranachan. Not sure why its got a different name.

Oh shut up. Not every piece of history deserves to be in a museum. As long as it's not sold or kept for nefarious purposes and is taken care of who cares.

Yeah but is that really the same as a five hundred year old amulet that someone crafted by hand?

Eh I tried it. While it is neat holding a two hundred year old coin and pondering where it's been it's not for me.

I suppose it would be more amazing if it were found in Australia.

Doesn't mention the delicious All Hallows Eve dessert, Fuarag, still a fundamental part of Halloween observances in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and a part of my experience of Halloween all my life.

People have been celebrating it more than just 20 years. Try the 60s if not even before that. It's not a new thing

I’m always on the lookout for small rulers and measuring tapes out in nature. I feel these things are always found right beside one.
