Yep. It blocks a lot of stuff because of "weighted phrase".

Beats me. Sometimes it even picks up "bad words" in Portuguese.:?:

I used to know a lot of those :lol: Lived in Brazil in the early 60s, but I've probably forgotten most of the good ones. No, come to think of it I could probably rattle off a few.....++Ken++

In a prior life, I was involved with a Scripts Institute study on the feasibliity of farming abalone. When asked what I did, I'd say that I was breeding Abs. This always led to the question of "How do you breed Abalone?"

My reply was that it wasn't hard once you got them in the mood. This was always followed by "How do you get them in the mood?". My reply "you show them porno movies of naked abs" :lol::lol::lol:

Maybe your firewall got it backwards and thought the shells were porno. :spingrin:

Cave litter north of Santa Rosaliita


The mouth of the cave in the distance is 15 to 20 feet wide and the shells spilling down the hillside below are more than a meter deep in places. How many meals over how many years did it take to build up a pile of that many shells?:?::?:
It's not as if they were harvesting and packaging them for the export market.:lol:

How middens got started.


Early BajaNomadic types, discovering steamers, chocolates, and scallops, soon became clam addicts.

(All that remained was for someone to invent melted butter.)

We drove out to the lighthouse on Puerto Carranza off of Guerrero Negro, and saw huge piles (Some taller than I am - I'm 5'5" so maybe they werent that huge:lol:)

But I couldnt believe how many piles there were!


The edges of the road and the road itself looked as if it was made from the shells

Miles and miles of these thick ancient middens along the coast.

Inland along the road in, there are shells too, just not as thick.

I have seen middens out on San Nicolas Island, off the CA coast, that are 20 feet thick.

Native Americans apparently liked to exploit the natural resources too.
