Some things never change! 😂 The oldest known written customer complaint dates back almost 4,000 years! An angry customer called Nanni complained to his copper merchant about poor quality product, lack of refund, and rude customer service! Sound familiar? 📷 Zunkir #EpigraphyTuesday #Archaeology
The image by Zunir shows a tall, rectangular ancient clay tablet densely covered with rows of cuneiform text, displayed upright on a clear stand against a dark museum background. The tablet is Nanni’s famous letter of complaint, written on a clay tablet to a copper merchant named Ea-nasir. Nanni complains that he has been sent low-grade copper, rather than the high quality copper agreed. Ea-nasir has treated Nanni and his messengers with contempt, sending them back without a refund, and telling them "If you want to take them (the copper ingots) take them, if you do not want to take them, go away!" 😮 

The complaint was inscribed on a clay tablet using cuneiform script, one of the earliest systems of writing, characterized by its wedge-shaped characters. Tablet dimensions: height 11.6 cm, width 5 cm. Old Babylonian period, 1750 BC. 

The tablet was excavated by Sir Leonard Woolley at the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur in modern-day Iraq in the 1920-30s. Acquired in the division of finds.

Carl Sagan worked for a year with a diverse team to assemble the Golden Record that accompanied Voyager 1 & 2, both of which have now left the solar system. But how would an alien civilization play a golden record & how could a phonograph record contain sound AND image data? Let's talk about it.
Carl Sagan shows the *Pioneer plaque*, not the Golden Record design.  This was decried as "smut in space!" by hand-wringing weirdos, which is the reason the Voyager probes don't show naked humans on it.

Ulez led to better lung size and function among London children, study finds
Researchers find capacity stunted by pollution was restored after introduction of ultra-low emission zone Children’s lungs grew bigger and stronger after the most polluting vehicles were restricted from entering London, a study has found. Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity that had been stunted by exposure to pollution.

Nothing beats the Stay Puft marshmallow man in Ghostbusters. Pictured is the Atari 8-bit version. A single sprite (called Players in Atari speak) could be 256 scan lines tall (taller than the screen itself) and had multiple pixel widths. 8 pixels wide apiece, this one is two players side-by-side

Why do people insist on saying 'I might get run over by a bus tomorrow?' Why not a car, or a lorry? As a bus driver, I want to assure your readers that we are no more responsible for running people over than drivers of other vehicles. I think I have only run over one or maybe two people in the entire thirty years I have worked for my local bus company. Bus Driver, email
