Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 5, 2012 at 5:01pm: Val, I think your dolmen series is spectacular! Yes, I know what they are, had to do research on them once. Wonderful use of "renewable archaic." Regards, DVS

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on January 5, 2012 at 10:21am: Oops to you, too. A joke's a joke, and sillyness is sillyness. It's all pie in the sky anyway, Lucy

Comment by vizma bruns on January 5, 2012 at 10:03am: Oops, I wish I'd read this before I made my previous silly pi joke.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on January 4, 2012 at 8:26pm: Bonjour! No they'e not Greek letters. Some of the dolmen(s? I wonder what the plural of dolmen is as the men part is already plural, suggesting that dolman might have been the singular) are loosely based on Hebrew letters, and that is why they have funny names. Val

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 4, 2012 at 7:18pm: Great series, Val! Love the "dolmen" which when I first saw them,

I thought you were carving your first Greek letters...it is Pi = Π

But not...you are drawing the burial "dolmen" of stone..(had to google it:

The term dolmen originates from the expression taol maen, which means "stone table" in Breton,

and was first used archaeologically inThéophile Corret de la Tour d'Auvergne's Origines gauloises.)

Well, of course!
