So I won't be building an igloo anytime soon.Ken Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968646929859916724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451587500257595163.post-79555851475033612082011-02-12T04:28:28.778-08:002011-02-12T04:28:28.778-08:00Wow those Eskimos must have been amazing engineers...Wow those Eskimos must have been amazing engineers building those igloos with no heavy equipment.Photodude Imageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943080857245771097noreply@blogger.com
