That's a late Roman plane found in the UK it's about 2000 years old and was made using Elephant Ivory for the body. If your wondering where the Tote is it never had one the Romans worked on a low knee high bench so it was more of a body grip and the holes where to put your fingers in rather than using them to put your hands in an grasp.

I'm thinking about making a copy.


I've put a PDF with more details in down the bottom but this had my noggin joggin about another find that I've found drawings of but no pictures that seems to be missing or in a private collection that's been misidentified.

A screenshot of a Policy of a Radiohead song on YouTube's Music Policies from a Japanese Website before the total blocking of videos using Radiohead songs get lifted.

From what I can recall. It was an event that happened since the Summer of 2017 and ended pretty much around the Summer of 2019. Many people complained on the forums that their video got blocked using particular Radiohead songs. Some videos using Radiohead songs are not actually totally blocked despite being claimed to that particular song. Since videos using Radiohead songs no longer get blocked, people are not longer afraid to use Radiohead songs in their videos.

The same website also had another screenshot.

Wonderwall by Oasis can be viewed worldwide if claimed. Well usually, but each upload gets a different result. So what the database does is basically say only one possibility. But rarely do videos containing Oasis songs get blocked.

Site in question.

I always loved this photo, but I could never really articulate why.
There's just so much going on with the body language and the clothes. It's like a scene from a movie.
