Thank you, they are fine! :D Maci was neutered on Wednesday, and he's fine already. He was sooo sleepy the day after, and he couldn't coordinate his movements because of the sedative injection. But all was over soon. Now he is worse than ever. :D They are still so cuddly and friendly, they demand attention and lots of caresses. Futi loves water taps and washbasins. :lol: They are HUGE now, and Maci is VERY heavy. They are still growing. :afaid: They got salmon for Christmas, they also like cheese, grass, and they have to taste everything we eat. :D

I didn't know where to post this, really...

I'm  :blink: :wOOt: :unsure: :wacko: :huh: :huh: :huh: all at same time. I've found the most weird thing to find on the street. It was in a little wall next to some grass, in the street, near my work. It is... a Holy Bible, from 1870  :blink: :blink: :blink:  It was (is still) humit, perhaps because of the irrigation for the grass. The front cover was besides the book, really crumpled and dirty, but in one piece. It still has the back cover and the loin, although dirty and crumpled, of course. But pages are well enough...

From 1870. What a  :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

When I saw it, I wondered what to do... Leave it there? Bring it back home? I finally got it home, but I'll try to find where I can give it. A place where they make some use of it, of course, like a library or similar. I like old books, I love books in general, but I can't have home a crumpled, massive book that I can't even put in the shelves (too big, too dirty  :insane: ).

It's weird. That's all  :spock:

PS. Near the place where I found it, in the outdoors of the train station, there is a small market where you can find a lot of things. I've seen old books there, so perhaps somebody bought it there, and then s/he lost it someway... That's my guess...  :cht:

That's what I call a find, Luthy! :lol:

Actually, I have found a very old book too, just like that, on the street. I kept that. :blush: Now my sister has it, because she understands Latin and she seemed to be interested.

I would say, if you like the book, keep it, if you don't find any use of it, find a good owner for it. :wink2:

Does it show any library stamp, owner name, signature, side note about its origin? :unsure:

As far as I can see, there are two signatures, but I can't say antyhing from them. Nothing else...  :ninja:

So, did you find a book in Latin in the street? Did you know how old it was? Is Notessomes sending to her followers old books in order to start the revolution or the World Domination?  :wOOt:

Perhaps the author is giving away some old copies for free, because a new edition is coming up?

But seriously, this is an amazing find - a book that's 140 years old! Don't you think you can have it restored and keep it? Or give it to a public place where you can visit it every now and then. "Donated by the Evil Queen Foundation" - how does that sound?

Cheers!

I'm not sure what I'll do... I already have my little comfy flat full of books, and this one is NOT small. Perhaps I'll ask in a radio programme where people ask where to find this or that, or where or who give this or that to... I don't think the public library of my city has so antique books, but a library would be an option... if the book was better. At least the covers are very bad, and pages are right now stil humit, and they have humidity spots...

Who wants to buy it?  :evil2:

The Holy Bible  :pop:

I've seen this page, and the book is exactly the same, with a few differences: mine do has humidity spots, specially in the firsts pages, it has the front cover separated (and, although in one piece, it's very crumpled), and it has two signatures in the paper cover. For the rest, it's my book.

What have I to do with that  :blink: :wOOt: :disgust:

Yup, 650 euros, but this one is a lot in better state than mine :bawl: Although mine is not so badly damaged... It only lacks the front cover (which I have, apart), and has some humidity marks... and the rest of the cover, a little crumpled and dirt  :fish:

I still am like  :blink: :blink: :blink:

Nice find Luth! :thumbup:

Today I was one of the official translators in a conference between Kuwaiti and Argentine businessmen. I skipped school, but the experience was good... And I'm getting paid too. :biggrin:

Yep, it was translating from English to Spanish and vice versa. Pretty fun. :)
