		<description><![CDATA[A nice find, and a nice story: "hunter-gatherers may have had had their own maps. A team of archaeologists have matched etchings made 14,000 years ago on a polished chunk of sandstone in northern Spain to the landscape in which it was found. They claim to have the earliest known map of a region in western Europe - a prehistoric hunting map.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grimoires.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6889890&amp;post=686&amp;subd=grimoires&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good friend mailed me an article this morning about a two-headed calf that was born somewhere in Belgium, Europe. Even though we don&#8217;t see things like this happening everyday, it is not new. The first attestations of two-headed animals (and even humans) occur in Mesopotamian texts, written down on clay tablets, and throughout history [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=grimoires.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6889890&amp;post=683&amp;subd=grimoires&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
