Wow. Life’s a bitch.
Oh wait, so that’s why this saying exists!
When life gives you lemons…
…don’t eat them they are probably poisoned.
You learn something new every day. Today it was that a Greek author died to a turtle drop a few thousand years ago.
The more you know! XD
Wait, this is a classical “real” thing? This adds some things to “Small Gods” for me then.
To be clear to those who are wondering. The eagle didn’t just decide to drop the turtle on his head, it is an observed behavior that eagles drop turtles on rocks to crack their shell. It is believed that an eagle mistook Aeschylus’ head for a rock . The only supporting evidence found of this was him dead of a blow to the head and a bloody turtle walking away
Tortoise!
Heh, there’s a similar incident in the Discworld novels. Never knew it had a possible inspiration before.
Well. It’s 2am, and I have just finished reading through Mary Death for the second time today after being introduced to it this morning.
I’ve archive binged before, but dammit Matt, you’ve managed to get me up to a new level of it. Too good.
