Ancient Maya scarified boys not virgin girls: study

But nobody caught "scarified" when they meant "sacrificed?!"  I had to search an online dictionary just to be certain.  You can be scarified, but I don't think that's what those ancient Mayas were doing.  And if they were being scarified, it was apparently for a very short duration.  Gruesome article.

My mind is now sacred for life - I mean - "scarred"  for life.  (Maybe it is "sacred" and scarred - at least my knees are scarred.  Whatever...)

It's really good to know that I'm not the only one with a spelling problem.

OK, I am with you bother, I am feeling violated and a little dirty.

Take care!

Art,

...well, it may pointless to point out the Mayans were confused across millenia, but did they invent hockey?

I have really enjoyed reading your blog.   I am relatively new to AR and have noticed you have received a lot of points and have achieved a remarkable high ranking. Congratulations!   May I ask if you have had success in turning your high ranking into business?   I am curious if it has been a profitable venture personally as well as financially.   Thanks for sharing and best of luck in your business.
