Mery Christmas to one and all here. And in the Christmas spirit I found this interesting, Mary Beard muses on the history and significance of the Christmas pudding, only a dozen minutes long:

Last but not least, Zardoz speaks to you:

Merry Christmas! Let's enjoy them while we can.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Blessed Saturnalia to all!
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Anyone listened to the linked podcast, as there's a surprising Herodotus connection.  :)
