5,000 year old door : Exciting new findings

To further support these conclusion, I can attest to the fact that I once stayed at a Howard Johnson’s which was obviously at least 5,000 years old.

I’m going to check back a little later; I want to see exactly how the boulder was used in contraception. Just curious. Park the boulder on the inside of the door? :-[

Roger and Charlie you two should start a Comedy Hour on the Discovery Chanel.

GMman,
Charlie and I are already talking about doing a reality show called “How Clean is Your Workshop”, something like “Hoarders” and “Biggest Loser”

Actually the boulder was a park and block lock as dead bolt locks with keys were not invented yet! ;-)

The six on the door was a warning that the dice were shaved to favor the house, seven come eleven would
never have gotten mama her new shoes, and the poor carpenter entering here after work would go home
with an sour stomach from lousy beer and no paycheck. He even lost his stone ax and had to make a new one
before he could go back to work. An early version of the house of the Rising Sun.

Just one of those days when I can’t go to the shop Jack, so I treated you all to a bit of fun …....well, I got a kick out of it anyway.

They shouldn’t have kicked you. It wasn’t that bad… ;0)

Ah, Roger, Roger.. A mind is a terrible thing to waste… ;-)
