I know Barry! Puts on a mean bbq, great host, 5 stars.

acockworkorange, in Medieval belt buckle of 'dragon' eating frog discovered in Czech Republic may be from unknown pagan cult

How does a buckle like that work? What part buckles the belt in place?

TheOakTree,

The holes at the bottom were probably tacked into a strip of leather and secured, and I’d imagine there’s some sort of stud or hook on the backside of the buckle.

Caradoc879, in 'Complex' study into potential rock art damage raises concerns as researchers call for more time

Anyone living on a major road for a long time will notice their walls slightly yellowing from the smog of all the cars. Not nearly as drastic as all those old houses when everyone used to smoke indoors, but it’s not insignificant.

So I can totally see the same thing occurring on rock faces and stuff caused by major industrial emissions.
