It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

Me? (I don't actually look like this.)



Tmblrll I rob regularly from: The owners of these sites are strange enough to read me. I rob from them, too:

(and no, I don't follow you back, but I promise to read you all, at least initially...)

If you like waffle, you could always try my other blog, A Fish, A Whistle, and Another Fish.

The "strange world" tagline almost certainly belongs to Warren Ellis. Used without his permission, but with much love.

Buying a Cow in Old English | Neatorama

‘The Frisian language is spoken by about half a million people in the Netherlands and Germany. It is the closet surviving relative of Old English, the tongue of Anglo-Saxon England. How mutually intelligible are the two languages? In this clip from the documentary series Mongel Nation, Eddie Izzard, speaking only Old English, tries to buy a cow from a Frisian-speaking farmer.’

…and succeeds. I always wondered if that would work. Excellent.
