Check out this video in which scientists use the best modern technology to investigate the best ancient technology (imaging science used to decipher writing on the ancient “computer” known as the Antikythera device):

Unrelated.

Kris,

Was that you heading south on Lexington Parkway in a red MGB GT on 8/2 at 12:30 pm or so?

Strikingly handsome chap, young Sean Connery type?

Wasn’t me. I was in Michigan over the weekend. Cool there’s another one out there. Someone has a red MGC GT very like mine too–black interior, though–which I saw at the Wheels & Wings show last year in Osceola.
