A Survey / Q&A

hey, I'm writing my english term paper on one or two of these.

regarding the colosseum, it was a ring that, although not being complete, was still incredibly large. It cast the audience in shadow while allowing the light to hit the center "stage" part. Historians and engineers have still not fully figured out how it was done, and at least several hundred sailors were employed to operate it.

I'd be happy to throw more useless knowledge your way,if you need it, unless you're going to forget to say, "Thanks!" Like some People who start threads asking big questions for big important papers, without even posting a, "Howdy!", on the newbies board, and then don't at least say, " Hey I got an A! Thanks a lot guys!" or something like that. Not that I'm bitter mind you.......
