Introductions to the Archaeologists' Disco.
« on: August 22, 2017, 01:58:40 PM »
One of the "Last post" thingys next to the forums recently referred to a thread apparently called "Archaeologists disco...", so let's have an ISIHAC-style round of introductions to the archaeologist's disco.
Mr and Mrs O'Logicaldig, and their son, Archie.
Mr and Mrs Peiiruins and their daughter, Pam.
Take it away!
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Neither have I. Someone will tell us both what it means I'm sure!

Mr and Mrs Vations and their son Exca!

I loved ISIHAC! Is it still on?
The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

Yes, it's still going, though I haven't listened to it for years.

On Radio 4, I assume. Don't know when, or whether it's actually on at the moment.
