Two farthings for the shakespearean punne jar!

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #1801 on:** 16 Oct 2012, 03:55 »

You do realise that a farthing was a quarter of a penny?

Just my ha'p'orth.

pwhodges · « **Reply #1802 on:** 16 Oct 2012, 04:33 »

I used farthings in real life for some years, as they were legal tender until I was 14. People were starting to refuse to accept them when I was as young as 7, though.

Ah... I see. Where did a mediaeval Scottish princess get a reflex bow?
Mulan sent it to her, in an early example of Chinese arms trade.

Wonderful pics. My heart is all warm and fuzzy now... Although I can't help but feeling worried about the cat in the balcony.

Also.

^ That's more fun when it has music playing to it.

Also, if the cat falls, it'll save itself. Like so:

He keeps them in the same pocket. Living life on the edge.

this one I'm setting aside, because it strikes me as incredibly odd. is...is that man in the back rooting for the pins?

From one of the lectures on TMS I attended.

And while I'm at the subject, do you know what this is?

This is the hippocampus of a mouse stuffed chock full of transgenic bioluminescence proteins. They coloured its brain rainbow. Brainbow.

I just found my print-out of a post from a newsgroup in 2000, or perhaps earlier; it seems it is still around on the Internet, and claims to be a Bedouin recipe. I haven't tried it; Waitrose in Oxford doesn't stock camels.

Stuffed Camel

Ingredients:

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kg rice
2 kg pine nuts
2 kg almonds
1 kg pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 lb black pepper
salt to taste

Method:

Skin, trim and clean camel, lamb and chickens
Boil until tender
Cook rice until fluffy
Fry nuts until brown, and mix with rice
Hard boil eggs, and peel
Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice
Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens and add more rice
Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add the rest of the rice
Broil over large charcoal pit until brown
Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice
Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts

Serves a friendly crowd of 80-100

"The Unfortunate Carousel was the life's work of the regrettable Eighteenth Amir of Sarappa, who dedicated himself to creating the most lavish, elaborate, and grotesque carousel ever made. Carved by the finest artisans, inlaid with gems and precious metals, powered by experimental steam boilers and teams of bullocks, the genius of the Unfortunate Carousel was that it had no horses, but was instead made up of all of those beasts considered graceless, unlovely, unclean, and/or generally obnoxious. Rats and grackles cavorted alongside hippopotomi and squid, rhinos and jackals rode cheek-by-jowl with skunks and gila monsters. By the time it was finished, the Unfortunate Carousel rose two and a half stories, had cost forty-seven lives, driven two engineers mad, and brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, on the first occasion when the carousel was fired up, the main boiler exploded two minutes in, causing general carnage and untold havoc and completely destroying the machinery. The Amir's plans to build a second, even more grandiose carousel were foiled when he was removed from power by an outraged peasantry wielding pitchforks and uninclined to discuss the finer points of carousel-making.

Specimens from the Unfortunate Carousel have turned up in numerous collections in the following centuries, including this very fine white walrus figure, in the private collection of the Marquis of Widdlemark."

Grace Hopper performs the first debugging of a computer (coining the term):

pwhodges · « **Reply #1832 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 12:59 »

"First actual case of bug being found". The use of "bug for "problem" or "error" goes back at least as far as Edison, and so was already familiar - hence the joke of actually finding one.

Papersatan · « **Reply #1833 on:** 21 Oct 2012, 13:23 »

I was led to believe that "debug" was the word coined here not that use of "bug". Though the OED tells me debug was used two years earlier though.

While you guys are debating, that bug is suffocating.
