Be one with the monkey. Let that horse play.
A monkey is sitting among green leaves, holding a cigarette in its mouth and a lighter in its hand. Overlay text reads, "What the Monkey considers business, the Horse considers play."

at one point he discusses a Tang dynasty criminal who had tattooed on one arm 'alive I do not fear the city prefect' and on the other 'dead I do not fear King Yama' (the judge of hell) which is more proof of the Tang being the most metal dynasty

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Friends! It's the feast day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, an abbess, polymath, mystic, & eel truth-teller. Medieval thinkers agreed that eels reproduce asexually. But Hildegard suggested that eels mate at sea, where we can't watch. No one listened to her. But she was right! 1/2 🗃️🧪
Meme. Painting of St. Hildegard, from the shoulders up. She is dressed up in her nunnish finery. Her wimple is white and very creased, so that she looks a bit like a mummy and her veil is the dusky black of that suggests it's been through the wash many times. She has something like a crown on her head, with little spikes that look for all the world like duck feet. The saint's eyebrows are hard lines like windshield wipers, & her nose is ski-jump smooth.

Her head is surrounded by a nimbus of blue with a white outline, set against an orange background. She is looking up and towards your right, as if she's watching a possum that's about to drop onto the person sitting next to you. Her mouth is set in a tight smile. She's likely thinking about sex again. And maybe not just eel sex.

Hildegard provided us with the first written description of the female orgasm, so it's quite possible that she's got that on her mind.

Meme text reads:
"Medieval Eel Truth:
It's all about the Bingen's, baby!"

In June and July, we have 24 hour daylight. A five-day Test takes a maximum of 30 hours with no breaks. We should therefore play all Tests in Reykjavík. They will be done in a day. Fixture congestion solved. We could allow seven substitutes if players get tired or cause trouble.

Things To Do With Potatoes Throw a potato on the ground behind a stranger, then say "Excuse me, you've dropped your potato!". If they deny ownership, pull another potato from your pocket, saying "Well it's definitely not my one". Hide a potato in a pair of shoes at a bowling alley.
