    Fast Food in Pompeii

    For the first time, archaeologists have unearthed a complete Roman-era fast-food stall in the ruins of Pompeii, with traces of food even remaining in some 2,000-year-old jars.

    I saw that this morning. Did you notice that "dog" is on the menu: far right corner.

    We've changed and not changed.

    Do ya' think that there were over 2,000,000,000 served?

    Yeah, I just can't imagine that. It is a great find though. I would love for some human skull from the period to have faces added as has been done with prehistoric people. Just to see them as they were.
