200-Year-Old Message in a Bottle Found on a French Clifftop

Volunteers on an archaeological dig in the ruins of an ancient Gaulish village high above the cliffs in northern France this week uncovered a small glass vial —and within it a neatly rolled, 200-year-old message from a colleague from another era.

The note was written by archaeologist P.J Féret, who conducted a dig at the Cité de Limes site in January 1825, the town supporting the dig, Eu, said in a Facebook post.

Féret wrote —perhaps as inspiration to the nascent archaeologists standing in his footsteps nearly two centuries later— that he was a member of several scientific societies and he "continues his research in this entire vast compound."

"It was an absolutely magic moment," Guillaume Blondel, who heads the archaeological service for the town of Eu, told the BBC. "We knew there had been excavations here in the past, but to find this message from 200 years ago… it was a total surprise."

"Sometimes you see these time capsules left behind by carpenters when they build houses. But it's very rare in archaeology," Blondel said. "Most archaeologists prefer to think that there won't be anyone coming after them because they've done all the work!"

Municipal records confirmed that Féret conducted a first dig at the site 200 years ago.

The oldest message in a bottle ever found was 131 years and 223 days old when it was discovered, Guinness World Records said in a statement. Australians Tonya and Kym Illman found the message on Jan. 21, 2018, at Wedge Island, Australia.

A German ship captain threw a gin bottle overboard on June 12, 1886, Guinness World Records said, with a message written in ink, that contained the ship's coordinates and details, including departure and arrival times. The note, from the Deutsche Seewarte in Hamburg, requested the finder deliver the note to the nearest German Embassy.

If authenticated, Féret's 200-year-old message in a bottle will be the oldest ever found.

Yes a hamburger is a sandwich. but is a gin and tonic a sandwich?

[adriennefrombrooklyn]

All of your WIPs sound interesting, but can you tell me a bit more (and post a snippet of) your mpreg Paul? And 1967? Just that Come onnnn I need more! Thank you!

mpreg Paul is still in the vague outline stages, and I can tell it really wants to be long, probably spanning multiple points in the timeline, but it will definitely start with early Liverpool and Hamburg. Basically it’s gonna be an au where Paul can get pregnant, hasn’t told anyone, and surprise John knocks him up in Hamburg not too long after they start fucking. Angst and shenanigans ensue.

1967 was actually the first fic I started working on when I first got into this fandom, and it’s gone through many iterations as my own feelings about mclennon have evolved. Right now I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with it since my original premise was based on an idea of their relationship that I don’t really go with anymore. I do wanna make it into something though because I like what I’ve written so far. Premise is kinda an exploration of what shifted about their relationship in ‘66 - ‘67 to make it suddenly appear so outwardly domestic.

There were five of them; three men and two birds, and it was really too dark to gather much more than that, but Paul could see well enough to be sure the girls were pretty. The one closest to him now had long hair, brown or maybe red, and reminded him enough of Jane to have him reflexively reaching for his glass to finish the last of his gin and tonic. Better to drown out that thought before it took root.

Okay but now I feel like I should really get back to work on this one.

Thanks for the ask! 🧡🧡

Finally - Home

They kissed. Finally.

Cas tasted like almonds and leather and cherry gin. His hair felt soft, far softer than you'd expect a man's hair to be. Dean was breathless, trying to take in everything before it dissapeared, because really, when did anything good ever last for the hunter? But the moment lasted, magical and surreal and undisturbed.

They were kissing. Finally.

Dean tasted like beer and pie and hamburgers. Cas could feel his every monecule, sense his every cell, as their tongues collided. He kept expecting Dean to shove him off, pretend like it never happened, but with each passing minute he grew more confident. Dean's hair was short and stubborn, fighting as Cas tried to pet it down. Dean was warm, and rough, and soft, and home.

unpopular bleach opinion?

I have more than a few of them but I'll choose one that usually hangs around in my head a lot. That opinion? Lmao, more people should've died. Like, Hiyori, Byakuya, Kensei, Rose - they should've died and stayed dead, in my opinion. It would've made things much more impactful and much more obvious that a war was taking losses. I'll always have a bone to pick with what happened with Unohana (though I equally think that it's one of those things that's equally bad and equally good; it could've been so much more than it was and as much as I hate how it played out, it was also appropriately thematic.) and how it felt like she was just thrown away but it was, also, something that was like ... required or whatever the bullshit of how there can't be two Kenpachi around in the same period.

Anyways, yeah, I feel more characters should have died, especially Hiyori. Now, don't get me wrong; don't think that I don't like Hiyori. I write Hiyori and Aizen being friends with @viciousvizard and it's great. I think she could've been such a better character. But flat out I say she should have died. "Will to live" my fucking ass, she should have bled out in seconds. It would've made Shinji's desire to fight Aizen that much more potent. You're telling me that Gin dies from being cut in a fashion which isn't any worse than other wounds we've seen in this series (Rangiku getting her side torn out, Momo getting impaled TWICE - and somehow surviving that both times - THROUGH HER FUCKING CHEST, Izuru getting his arm blown off and part of his chest removed--- those are just three off the top of my head) and stabbed in the chest and he dies? The guy who made Aizen bleed when Aizen had transcended the bounds between Hollow and Shinigami? But Hiyori - runty little Hiyori - SURVIVES BEING CUT IN FUCKING HALF? Oh, and Byakuya being turned into mince-meat by As Nodt and him surviving that? Listen, I think it would've been so much more impressive if Kubo had kept to the idea of killing him instead of him surviving. The only captain losses we saw were really Ukitake and Komamura and Komamura didn't even die so much as he's just now in permanent puppy mode. But literally, more of the good guys should have died. Hiyori should have bled out in seconds because SHE GOT CUT IN HALF. You're telling me the girl who got cut in half survived that? That Byakuya being pulverized until he was more like hamburger was something he could live through? Like, yeah - villainous characters definitely die in this series. We see it happen a lot. But so few of the heroes do.

So yeah, my unpopular opinion is that Kubo's a coward and he should have killed more of the 'good guys' than he did because it would've made it feel so much more like a war setting than not.

The Kulturtechnikforschung strikes back!

Ich unterrichte wieder an einer Hochschule. Das wird Anfängerübung at its best! Von Anfang an anfänglich sein! Wie Josef Esser sagte: Anfang gut, alles gut!

Von Anfang an gründlich nachbohren und das Material im Detail durcharbeiten, von Anfang Fragen richtig stellen und beantworten, von Anfang an ins Archiv und vor Ort, von Anfang an archäologisch, von Anfang an unbedingt und hochgradig konditioniert forschen.

Wir unterrichten Kulturtechnikforschung, die Bild- und Rechtswissenschaft ist. Wir forschen zu Assoziationen, die normativ und phantastisch sind und in denen der Mensch, ein aufsitzendes Wesen, auch mit Illusionen eine Zukunft hat. Wir forschen zu Akten, Protokollen, Listen und Kalendern, zu Foren und Büros, zu Zeugen und Richtern, zu Gesetzesbüchern und Verträgen und Bescheiden, wir forschen zu Linien im Acker und Unterschriften, zur Meteorologie bei Thomas Hobbes und Aby Warburg. Wir ziehen jedenfalls Tag und Nacht Linien, niemals ohne Wellen und niemals ohne Kippen. Wir fabrizieren forschende Juristinnen und Juristen, die was wagen und was wissen wollen. Wir glauben, dass Juristinnen und Juristen forschen müssen, egal in welchem Beruf sie arbeiten. Wir denken: was Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr, darum: Die Anfängerübung, die aus dem Vollen ins Volle schöpft.

Freue mich sehr auf Hamburg und hoffe, dass sich mehr als 10 Leute anmelden, sonst wird es nämlich abgesagt und ich liege dann drei Wochen gelähmt mit Depression in Frankfurt oder mit Gin Tonic in Sils Maria rum.

Dan Reeder Releases 2022 Performance on YouTube

- Gig marked renegade singer’s “first concert in many, many years”

“I rarely perform and soon you’ll see why” Dan Reeder told the assembled audience in Hamburg, Germany, before admitting live performance “scares the shit out of me.”

The renegade folk singer and American ex-pat played what was billed as his “first concert in many, many years” in 2022 as part of the Oh Boy Goes to Europe tour, where mostly American artists singed to John Prine’s record label got the chance to show off their skills for fans overseas.

Reeder’s lived in Germany for decades, releasing lo-fidelity, homemade music that cuts - both with humor and insight - in rapid bursts of activity. He played for less than 25 minutes. But the songs, coupled with his Prine stories - Reeder opened 30 dates for his musical sponsor over the years - would make any fan regret not being there.

Playing solo and acoustic, Reeder opened with “Clean Elvis,” in which the decidedly not flashy songwriter adds flashes of the King’s music with every line. He decried/celebrated alcoholism on “Gin Tonic” and got the intimate club audience to sing along on “Work Song,” which features one repeated line in a sorta-gospel arrangement:

I got all the fuckin’ work I need, he and they sung.

“Maybe” may be one of Reeder’s most-serious numbers, a lamentation on life and death and the songwriter’s best guest at what does - or doesn’t - come next:

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we’re not sure/maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure/or maybe you’ll come back/some day as a king prawn/maybe angels come and take you away to heaven or the other way/but from down here it appears/that when they’re gone/they’re gone

For his part, Reeder’s been gone from the stage since this appearance last year and there’s no telling when - or even if - he’ll ever return. Cherish this gift, the closest thing to a Dan Reeder live album fans are ever likely to hear.
