No need to keep carping on about it.

carp a diem? As a foreign language major, German, I took the English class in Old English, which is a recognized language on Wikipedia, nglisc sprc. Basically, at the fall of the Roman Empire, two German tribes, the Angles and the Saxons, migrated to Britain. At the same time, the Vikings also settled -- called "Jutes" in my own schooling, since the Denmark peninsula was Jutland, as in the Battle of Jutland in World War One. Having studied Swedish in the meantime has disabused me of a pet peeve about English. The extremely basic linguistic history is that the south of England used a predominantly West Germanic language, "Old English", which was already being heavily influenced by the North Germanic influences from the Danes/Jutes/Norse/Vikings. But then in 1066 along came the Norman invasion from "William the Bastard", a Viking descendant from the north of France. Viking men invaded and conquered the north of France, Normandy. Viking men alone on a foreign shore. What do they do? Take local wives! What results? Children. What language do children learn? The "Mother Tongue", which is to say the language of the ones nurturing them, their mothers. How many generations does it take for the children to not be able to communicate with their fathers? One? Two? Insignificant. Despite all that, my own personal view of English is as a fundamentally Germanic language atop an extremely French vocabulary. In my California university's Old English seminar, here's how it went down. Our professor called it a "double howler", because it made two mistakes at the same time. He told us of a Latin quiz in a Catholic school quiz. The students were instructed to translate from Latin to English. "Carpe Diem". OK, "diem" is "day". "Carpe" is a fish, so "carpe diem" is "fish day" which every Catholic knows is FRIDAY. Double howler.

Google says its a two-masted fore-and-aft-rigged sailboat with the mizzenmast stepped far aft so that the mizzen boom overhangs the stern - but yeah, you could fish from it.

A parody of people's objections to teaching evolution. It was Miss Vermont who caught my eye, because a friend who had living in Vermont described the women as dressing like that.

Look if the sun gets blotted out, it has nothing to do with God. It's the HUGE Wall the Trump built. I wish God would stop taking credit for Trump's accomplishments.
