Hi all

Just found this engraved on some ancient undersea rock wall during our
underwater archeological excavations being held here just off the coast of
Sumatra.  

It proves that the ancient Lemurians, although still at the cusp of the
interior decorating stage of their development, had full knowledge of the
most sophisticated art-form - the cartoon.

I think it loses too much in the translation so I didn't bother providing
one.  Have a go yourselves though.  

A long essay on how this classical piece has influenced writing in all the
cultures since the Lemurian age would not only do my archeological homework
for me, but please my Professor, the Rev. Colonel Von Berlitz as well
thankyouverymuch....  ;)
