[quote]The "Coca-Cola Space Dispenser" (Fluids Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus) was designed to provide astronauts the opportunity to enjoy Coca-Cola and Diet Coke in the weightless environment of space. It held 1.65 liters each of Coca-Cola and Diet Coke.
An astronaut would dispense the carbonated drink of choice into a "Fluids Transfer Unit" or sealed drinking cup through a quick connect on the dispenser. Made from clear polycarbonate, the FTU was based on the design of the Coca-Cola Space Can first flown in 1985 and held up to seven ounces. The design incorporated a unique baffle and thin vanes at its bottom to keep the liquid and carbon dioxide (CO2) from separating.[/quote]
[quote]Eighteen (18) of the "space cups" and the dispenser first flew on shuttle Discovery's STS-63 mission in 1995.[/quote]

[quote]Unlike Pepsi's efforts in space, which were primarily for promotion, Coca-Cola made a serious investment into their research. In addition to a desire to offer carbonated beverages for astronauts, Coca-Cola was also observing the effects of space flight on changes in taste perception with the goal of understanding altered tastes in specific target populations on Earth, such as the elderly.[/quote]

Just checked the location of burial, it's on the other side of the netherlands (I didn't know they referred to it as Holland back in the day). If I could I would go there to find this man's grave, and pay homage to him and the men around him.

My uncle died in April 1945, literally weeks before the war was over. It's sad to see how close these people were to coming home when they died.
Hell, some soldiers died even after the war was officially over. Mostly because the message arrived too late.

These people are thought to have barely had any resemblence to modern humans in their thought capacities. They would have still yet to discover agriculture, etc. And yet those workings and others make you wonder...wether they had bigger ambitions, wether they wanted to go deeper, find out more about the world around them, or would they rather endluge themselfes in the paradise they had. I guess curiosity triumphed in spite of complacency, otherwise we wouldn't be here...

Their thought capacities would've been the same lol? 7,000 years ago their brain would've been almost exactly the same as ours, they wouldve easily had the same capacity for thought and imagination but nowhere to really put it to as we hadn't really developed a foothold in any kind of advancement except things such as art and other hand crafts. For example if you went back in time and got one of their babies and raised it here in our time you would not be able to tell the difference.
Modern humans became dominant 20,000 years ago and from that point on they were structurally identical to us now except for some variances in height and mixed blood from neanderthals.

Pretty sure that's a case of people referring to the Netherlands entirely as Holland. And yea, Margraten is in Limburg. I could go there too if I had the time to do so.

I wish there were a video of this.
To see a picture is one thing, to see all that and hear all the sounds of marching, engines running, the waves crashing, the shouting, maybe distant artillery explosions in the distance, gives a much better feel of what's going on.
That must have been one helluva thing to see, after all that fighting.

[QUOTE]Cranial deformation was probably performed to signify group affiliation, or to demonstrate social status. This may have played a key role in Maya society. It could be aimed at creating a skull shape which is aesthetically more pleasing or associated with desirable attributes. For example, in the Nahai-speaking area of Tomman Island and the south south-western Malakulan (Australasia), a person with an elongated head is thought to be more intelligent, of higher status, and closer to the world of the spirits.There is no statistically significant difference in cranial capacity between artificially deformed skulls and normal skulls in Peruvian samples.[/QUOTE]
