Pretty Neat Story!

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The 500-year-old wreckage of Portuguese ship piloted by an uncle of explorer Vasco da Gama has been found off the coast of Oman, archaeologists said Tuesday, a discovery that included the recovery of an incredibly rare coin.

The Esmeralda sank during a violent storm near al-Hallaniyah Island in the Indian Ocean in May 1503, killing commander Vicente Sodre and all those aboard.
 
 Beginning in 2013, a team from the British company Blue Water Recoveries and the Oman Ministry of Heritage and Culture explored a site in the island's Ghubbat ar Rahib Bay. They later determined the debris found there came from the long-missing ship, one of two lost in the storm from da Gama's second voyage to India.

Among the stone shot, ceramics, a bell and other debris, divers discovered an incredibly rare silver coin called an Indio, of which only one other is known to exist today, said David L. Mearns, the director of Blue Water Recoveries. The coins were forged in 1499 after da Gama's first voyage to India, which helps date the wreckage, he said

We have some very good Chinese restaurants just a poor selection of Mongolian style.  Only two Mongolian places that I know of here one local and one chain, both terrible.

I'm on a conference call from hell. The people making decisions don't have a clue about how the technology works. And everything I say to clear up the matter seems to be falling on deaf ears. So fuck 'em, I'll banter.
That is the spirit!
Unfortunately, I'll never get those 3 hours back. Sheesh.

Do you want to have to sit through that conference call again, but listening
to it backwards, like a Beatles record, to find out Paul is dead?  ???
