It's quiet... too quiet. As the place has been so quiet lately I've decided to have a look back through my recent FB posts and see if there is anything relevant to here. Here's one. Because most Chinese words are represented by one or two characters printers sometimes don't realise that you can't just break words in English anywhere you like and spread them across lines. And that accounts for the T-shirt I just saw. HEL LOKI TTY "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | ||

Yes, I saw that on FB, Bob. Pretty funny! How amazing it must be for you to be living in an entirely different country. | |||

Ya gotta remember Loki was the Nordic trickster god. | |||

And Hel was the Nordic deity in charge of the underworld. I have yet to locate which Nordic deity was known as TTY. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

Well, Lodi was visiting Hel in the underworld. Being a trickster, he asked Hel for a telecommunications device as he said he was deaf. However, he really wanted to monitor all the happenings in the underworld. | |||
