I have this fossil of a number of trilobites and i've never really looked at it carefully before until a few days ago. Then all these thoughts came to my mind and i wondered how old they were, how they died, and what exactly were they? So i did some reseach in my A Short History of Nearly Everything and discovered some new things. They existed more than 300 million years ago, there are lots of different types. It got me thinking of how exciting archeology is ... I imagine myself wearing brown shorts, a green shirt, and a backpack with a camera, brushes, a handy pocket book called" A HANDY POCKETBOOK FOR ARCHEOLOGISTS" exploring the dangerous mountains of Peru. Then i'd be world famous for discovering lost cities, artifacts, new species of dinosaurs, and a strange breed of penguins..etc.
This exact piece of rock existed at the time of just about everything.


oh and:
"Is life so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take. But as for me give me liberty or give me death!"
