Geoffrey Chaucer has returned to the blogosphere, to share with us the sad tale of secret trysts he spent with the Pearl-poet.

At morwe-tyde, he sayde me, “Thou knowst I am not of the scole of Edwarde II.”

“Me neithere,” quod I. “‘Tis nobodies privitee but oures.”


While we're on the subject of Brokeback Mountain parodies, the students at the Jewish Theological Seminary have something they wish they could quit. This one probably won't be funny unless you've been following the Conservative Movement's homosexuality debate closely. Thanks for the link, [livejournal.com profile] shirei_shibolim!

One more link before I go back to work: [livejournal.com profile] ladybird97 has kindly alerted me that it is now legal for Jews to wear armor in Ireland. It seems that armor-wearing has been illegal for Jews in Ireland since 1181. This is fascinating. I suspect I have to do more research on the topic.
