My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

Oh no. Imagine going the club from Blade but it's mayonnaise that comes out of the sprinklers instead of blood and you have to play it cool so the mayonnaise vampires don't turn on you after realising you don't belong

If they're not referred to be diagnosed, how do we know if they would benefit from treatment?

Do you think Uncle Bulgaria liked being called that, or do you think he ever said 'Please, stop. I'm a refugee from the Zhivkov premiership and my name is Boyan'

Might pitch "The Great Height Myth" to Channel 4. Oh hang on. Question mark. "The Great Height Myth?" Are some people really taller than others? Have so called 'tall people' measured themselves? I can get a ball into a basket, does that mean I'm tall?

This was one of my favorites as a kid.

Far Side cartoon. A fish is upside down, rising tail first to the surface, its feet in white cubes. The caption explains: Embedded in Styrofoam "shoes," Carl is sent to "sleep with the humans."

Absolutely horrible news that Glen Hansard has died. Far too young. Absolutely wonderful songwriter and by all accounts a really good guy. Once is among my all time favourite films. Anyone who hasn't seen it i highly recommend you go correct that.

A rare thing - about Tom book recommendation. On a whim a couple of months ago I picked up We Are Legion (We Are Bob), a book about a guy whose consciousness is loaded into a Von Neuman probe and sent off from a not-too-distant future dystopian earth.

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote for HistoryExtra , but here's an excerpt! 🗃️🧪

Table showing cost of items in the 14th C., and the equivalent value in eels. The table has 3 columns: "You want to buy", "It Costs", and "But in eels?" The table shows you that:

2 doz. eggs costs 1d, or 6 eels
A gallon of the best ale costs 1.25d or 8 eels
1 sheep costs 1s 5d, or 106 eels
1 cow costs 9s 5d, or 706 eels
A 2-story cottage costs £2, or 3,000 eels

The d. here means penny, from the latin "denarius." There were 12 d. to a shilling (s), and 20 shillings to a pound (£).

As far as I know, no one was buying cottages with eels. This is more to give you a sense of relative costs. But wouldn't it be interesting if you could buy a house with eels?

This chart leaves unanswered the question: "What about the next-best ale?" and suggests and entire spectrum of ale gradations. Which makes good sense, of course. But also, you certainly wouldn't want to spend your eels on inferior ale!

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . ." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats...
