TRUTH !! !!
The Silk Road derives its name from the lucrative Asian silk, a major reason
for the connection of trade routes into an extensive transcontinental
network. The German terms Seidenstraße and Seidenstraßen ("the Silk
Road(s)") were coined by Ferdinand von Richthofen, who made seven
expeditions to China from 1868 to 1872. The term Silk Route is also used.
Although the term was coined in the 19th century, it did not gain widespread
acceptance in academia or popularity among the public until the 20th
century.

me too. They were funny.



There's a new show on PBS called Food Flirts. It's 2 older, I assume Jewish, sisters. I've only seen 1 episode that featured chocolate. It was pretty funny watching them flirt with much younger guys. I'm going to have to look and see when it is actually on because we just happened to have the TV on the day I wanted the show.
