The History Blog on St. George's day. (I'm not sure, actually, that "orgy" is the correct term for a grouping of dragons. However, given that one illustration, I could be wrong ...)
Today at Arrant Pedantry, "I've got a bad case of über it." (It just is not possible for me to contemplate prepositions without listing all the German ones in my head, in a sort of whishing, whispering, ongoing non-mantra dating back to 1981. An, auf, ünter, über, hinter, vor, und zwischen.) The true gem at this link? You get a NEW WORD today: mumpsimus. Yay! Now, make with the clicky.
Thanks to a link at The Passion of Former Days, please enjoy Curious Anarchy. This tragedy happens at my house all the time ... though my population is a bit smaller and partially feline.
CONGRATULATIONS to Nancy Bilyeau, on her win for Best Historical Mystery!
BBC News has a gallery of wedding dresses from a variety of periods. The final three images here make me drool - artfully, gorgeously designed and realized.
