Et in arcadia ego.

A few months ago there was a news article about some ex-Bletchley park people considering a mysterious inscription on a monument in Staffordshire, reputedly containing information about the Holy Grail. Well, they don't think so. This is entirely unsurprising. The Holy Blood And The Wholly Specious has a lot to answer for, even if it has managed to indirectly pay for the Roslin Chapel's restoration.

There's a page about the Poussin in question here.

Rather more practically, here's an article about a possible treatment for rabies, previously 100% fatal once it became symptomatic (bar one single person in the sixties, I believe).

I was intending to send someone some toast, but never got around to it. Although having gone out with childeric for almost four years, I'm amazing that i never thought of addressing food in that way!

You'd have thought that under those circumstances it would be obvious.
