I think it's pretty awesome! Seeing the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum was a big life moment for me. Heck, the whole British Museum was a big life moment for me.

I still want to be an archaeologist when I grow up, kind of. :)

Me too. : )

I hung out with the bog body guy there for ages. The British Museum was so cool...I am desperate to go back.

I was mooning over pictures of Petra in Jordan today at work, myself!

Some of my favorite college classes were my archaeology classes - especially marine archaeology, where we got to accompany our professor to Little Salt Spring, a wet sinkhole in FL - combine diving AND archaeology! COOL!

Anyway, I have had a geeky love affair with the Rosetta Stone and ancient languages and writing systems for more than 75% of my lifetime. I love that bag! (I'd be afraid of damaging the cork one, and not having a shoulder strap makes it a no-go for me).

Hmmm, we have more in common than I thought, tigira.

What do you mean only you will really like this? Both of those are great!

I once had a pair of cork shoes that were amazingly, amazingly comfortable and looked fantastic. I still wish I could replace them!

I'm glad you like them.

A physicist colleague of mine once visited the British Museum with her husband, who was born in Greece. She thought it the coolest thing in the world when he started reading the Rosetta Stone out loud.

I would have been deeply impressed.

19 years ago in May I stood around the Rosetta Stone with a bunch of other geeks and did translation.

You're just going to have to share the "like" of the Rosetta Stone bag.

Well, I immediately checked to see if there was a Rosetta Stone courier bag. No such luck...

They are SO missing a trick there!

Sometimes, it's good to know how wrong you are :)

There's a regular stall at our monthly market selling handmade handbags. They're made from wood and recycled fabric, and I've found myself eyeing them at times, which is... odd for me.

Ok I love bags. It's joked about in my family as bags being a family fetish. I love them all but I super love the Rosetta for the practicality and design on the front.

The Rosetta Stone bag is awesome. Just as with badseed1980, seeing it for the first time was just amazing... I think in a postcard I wrote that day, I said something about how "I saw IT !!!" that day...

I love archaeology, especially epigraphy...
