How many working slaves can you fit on the stone box using primitive tools? Slaves may have been useful for moving large objects, but the mind boggles as to how many were needed to move a 2000 ton block of stone.

The 100 ton granite stone boxes at the Serapeum are a good example. These were supposed to have been made using pounding stones and copper chisels. The degree of accuracy achieved would be just impossible using those tools, but there's many, many other examples.

Read the section on the pyramids. Still doesn't explain how great works of art were created using primitive tools.

No, that's a myth. According to noted archeologists Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass, the pyramids were not built by slaves; Hawass's archeological discoveries in the 1990s in Cairo show the workers were paid laborers, rather than slaves. Rather, it was farmers who built the pyramids during flooding, when they could not work their lands.

Already said the dog has been xrayed twice, poop and urine tested as well as blood. The dog needed to be neutered because of enlarged prostate.

I had to send a completed form back to Centrelink in Australia and figured registered post was the safest way to send to be sure it would get there. I was a little surprised when told that it would take 2 weeks. Has international post really become that slow? I can remember when it only took 4 days for an airmail letter from Australia to the UK. Mind you, the letter from C'link took 7 weeks to get here! It arrived the day I was supposed to have it returned by.

He's been xrayed twice, no sign of any tumours or blockages, also no problem with bowel movements. He gets home cooked meals with veggies and fish oil, basically top shelf diet. He's been a pretty well cared for pooch. Will try the salmon carcases though.

No way you can rip this apart, and it's nothing like a synthetic wool, it's full of strong fibres, not unlike fibreglass. I bought from a different shop this time and it's only about an inch thick, normally it's about 3 inches thick. There's no label on the bag but I think it might be some kind of polyester.

This stuff is soft, I thought the photos showed that.

Tried pruning shears, no good, maybe hedge shears.

You're a legend in your own lunchtime.

I'll give that a try.

A photo might help.

I thought it was some kind of special injection. AFAIK he's only on a antibiotic drip, but they did give him some kind of anti nausea injection when we first took him in.

I reckon this stuff would blunt them pretty fast. Fortunately only need to replace the filter every 6 or 8 months.

Don't want you to shrivel up and die if you're totally ignored.

What is GU?

He's never heard of you either, but neither has the rest of the world.

This stuff is soft, not like fibreglass sheeting.

Andrew Tate was a world champion kickboxer, hardly no talent.

It seems to be trial and error with the vet. When we first took him for this problem they told us that it was his prostate putting pressure on his stomach and suggested neutering, which we did. Of course this made absolutely no difference.

I buy fibreglass filter from the pet shop for my fish pond. It comes in a large sheet and I cut it into smaller pieces to fit inside the tank, but find it really difficult to cut. Scissors won't do it and even a Stanley knife struggles. Any tips?

Who do you consider to be a "somebody"?

Another, I'm the smartest man in the room.

Unfortunately I don't think it's quite that simple. We've changed the dry food, and what we cook for him, didn't make any difference.
