Im watching an archeology programme about Roman London. You meed to dig down 20 feet to reach the Roman ruins. You see on Time Team where they have to dig down for the ruins.

So where does all this dirt come from?

Cool. If dirt rolls downhill, Plymouth will disappear eventually

It is mainly decomposed bodies and dog poo. With the odd newspaper and McDonalds bag. Oh, and dead hamsters form a significant proportion.

Someone will get a surprise in a few thousand years, when tony robinson's decendant is saying "we're at the dig site in old london and the scanner is definitely showing evidence of a large river", when a voice will pipe up from behind exclaiming "ere, oive found a big old clock!"

A number of reasons. Firstly, us humans produce a lot of rubbish over time and it has to go somewhere - buried in the ground. Secondly, destruction of manmade features, such as buildings, tend to get buried where they are razed. Thirdly, natural disasters like flooding, landslides, volcanic eruptions (think Pompeii!), etc., tend to cause 'dirt' to spread and cover up anything in their wake. All of these actions, whether through human agencies or natural processes, produce a layering effect and depending what deposits are found within these layers, helps us archaeologists to determine from which time period it relates too!

A lot of dirt is just skin. We're shedding all the time.

Dust... a lot of dust is in fact cosmic dust, dust that exists in space that is being drawn from orbit by the Earths gravity. What that means is the world is in fact actually getting bigger.

Although it has been said, "It's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it" this also proves the rule that one 'should not put off till tomorrow what could be done today' Because if anyone is intending to paint the world, it would be best to start now before it gets any bigger

That said, maybe don't bother painting it... its only gonna get covered in... dust

Did you become a member of the inebriatie tonight?

Everyone knows you have to wipe the dust off before applying the paint.

When they didn't use buildings any more they broke them down and covered up the remains to build over. Actually,I have no idea but Google may throw some light on the subject.

When the Romans left they didn't want anyone to know they had been here so covered up the evidence. It never happened

You know all those chalk cliffs are just the remains of birds and fish? It's the same principle. We just add stuff on top. A bit like my ironing pile.

I understand your logic as typically on a tin of paint it has the instruction to 'remove loose dust' before painting. BUT, the thing is, paint breaks down over time and, you've guessed it, makes more dust so you might as well let the dust mix in with the new coat of paint

I'm sure it creates a nice textured look. I don't paint, I GALMI.

... and, thinking about it, it makes more sense to paint the world, maybe lilac, or a nice cream colour. Have you noticed that most dirt is a shitty brown colour? Now if it was the same colour as the colour of your house it would be seen and so it wouldn't need to be wiped up or vacuumed... jobs a good'n

That is because worms eat it and poo it out. We live on top of worm poo

Not quite. A lovely Fab man came over and did the archeological dig, kept the treasures and consigned the rest to dust.

... and don't forget all the wankers. Spunk dries out and turns to dust too, thus adding more dust.
