Word of the Day

eldritch \EL-drich\, adjective:

Strange; unearthly; weird; eerie.

Eldritch perhaps derives from a Middle English word meaning "fairyland," from Middle English elf, "elf" (from Old English aelf) + riche, "kingdom" (from Old English rice).

Incantations

As to his religious notions - why, as Voltaire said, incantations will destroy a flock of sheep if administered with a certain quantity of arsenic. I look for the man who will bring the arsenic, and don't mind about his incantations.

~Dr. Lydgate

the vatican is in rome from which papal mercy is dispensed on behalf of the jew who is king of the jews, nero was also in that city, but now he is in hell which is lit with fire from a kiln, it is also where you will go if you drink gin or stray in any other way that a qadi who is wearing a fez might bring down a verdict of damnation on you, which is similar to an audit, that is mostly run to vex the one who was unblessed enough to have to dot the legion of i's in the bin of paperwork, which was propbably relating to a zoo that had a ewe which was a gift from a vicereine who wanted to wash her hands of the political stage and to quaff all those who have risen against her, saying ah.
