    "Holiday to dig up bones".
    I adore the idea that Keith does science on his holiday.
    I freaking love Kieth.

      Of all the people I'd like to meet most, Keith is right near the top of the list

    Rupert did an outstanding job.
    Thanks!

    I just imagined Keith fashioned like Indiana jones.
    The moral is, never bring a pen knife to a sword fight, I guess.

      Hopefully Keith dodges the giant boulder... #ripkeith

    • @MisterTalkingMachine

      Keith will bring the boulder to the royal society

    • @mikekuppen6256
      @mikekuppen6256 8 лет назад +16

      Keith will give the boulder a stern look over his half-glasses and admonish it not to damage Society property.

    • @MisterTalkingMachine
      @MisterTalkingMachine 8 лет назад

      Just so happens that the boulder is a giant concretion with a magnificent fossil inside.

    Rupert made the story very lively. Also, his French is not bad ;)

    Why would pirates even want someone else's letters? I feel like mail-stealing swashbucklers of the 17th century is a topic that needs further exploration, Brady.

      reading it again makes it even more amazing: books.google.ie/books?id=QftWAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA362&lpg=PA362&dq=Serphiotes&source=bl&ots=bmuhrY4L2n&sig=MW4MYIRdunYeEhl1azgcxGriVi8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiR7sTJ_vvPAhXrD8AKHU1rBagQ6AEIJTAB#v=onepage&q=Serphiotes&f=false
      such mannerism back then, thinking of the 'now' generations where they might get pissed off from anything

    Rupert the BBC needs your voice !! (the two of you are perfect for RADIO)

    • @mikekuppen6256

      Here to clarify that I would indeed enjoy hearing more of Rupert´s voice :-)

    • @StephenMortimer

      Mike Kuppen
      We can stage name him "Mell Lifferious" ??

    • @mikekuppen6256
      @mikekuppen6256 8 лет назад

      That sounds like he features in porn radio plays. Which means that you´ve now put the idea of porn radio plays into my head and I need to try and find out when and where those existed (Because if it´s porn and someone can imagine it, it must exist, right?)

    • @StephenMortimer

    Do you suppose that "by the way" may have meant "along the way", and not "this is an afterthought"?
    Which makes me think: It would be really cool to invite Rob Words to do a dive! He'd certainly have fresh (linguistic) angles, and I'd love to see his takes on these old documents.

    People joke that if they had Skyrim-style quicksaving they’d go on some kind of crazy crime spree, but if I had that power I’d love to go into these archives and handle all of these books and papers to really get a sense of what they feel like.

    @kuronosan 8 лет назад +1

    Maybe Serfiotis? I looked it up and apparently there was a mayor of the port city Piraeus, Kyriakos Serfiotis of Hydra in 1835, possibly a family relation.

    • @porsa0
      @porsa0 8 лет назад +1

      Yes according to the Greek wikipedia his father Antonis Serfiotis was a famous ocean-sailor of the pre-revolution era in Greece.Along with his father Kyriakos burned down ottoman ships(using Fire ships) during the revolution.

    • @spiros1994

    An argument over a pen knife? I'm not familiar with what a pen knife is or why you would get into an argument over it. can someone explain please? thanks

    • @-yeme-
      @-yeme- 7 лет назад

      a pen knife is a folding knife with a blade a few cm long that is so called because its original purpose was to trim and reshape the nib of a quill pen, something that required doing fairly regularly when writing with said instrument. the term was retained in British English at least to mean any small folding pocket knife and is still used today
