humansofnewyork:“Yesterday we found an encyclopedia from the Late Victorian era, which means sort of before they invented electricity and when they had cars but not so modern ones.  It’s quite a long encyclopedia.  And it’s very heavy and has brown spots on the pages.  Gramble said not to read it in the car cause I would get sick and dizzy but I did it anyway and I got sick but only a little bit.  I discovered a lot of facts that aren’t facts anymore.  I discovered two extinct animals.  One was sort of like a sawfish except it had hairs instead of spikes on its nose.  The other was sort of like a T-Rex except it had four legs like a dog.  When I become an archaeologist I can discover my own dinosaur bones.  Gramble showed me how to dig very carefully and dust off your discoveries.  Yesterday we went on a treasure hunt with our metal detector.  We were hoping to find a pound or maybe an old Roman coin, but instead we found a tent peg and Mum called it rubbish and made us throw it away.”(London, England) -- source link
