Okay, so the good news is that I am not the only one in blogworld who had an unannounced hiatus from their blog. So did Got Medieval, which I love for obvious reasons.
There recent bit of reader mail seemed really cool. In the first bit, the lovely medievalist talked about Origen, the church father who cut off his special bits. Ick. "if you see a dude holding his own castrated scrotum in his hands in a medieval manuscript, ninety-nine times out of a hundred the dude is Origen." Haha.
And then the second bit about mermaids and the Catholic Church and coffee. Well. That's just a little too good.
Best part about this? I learned some great new bits of history.
Oh, and the sense of humor. I love the wonderful tidbits followed by a joke.
