"Having looked at some deaths of MPs involving vegetables ..." is an unimprovable line

The Lissava Dolmen • Tipperary
You can find this portal tomb hidden away in Scaragh Wood, close to the town of Cahir in South Tipperary.
Based on excavated examples, it likely dates to the earlier to middle part of the Neolithic period, making it around 5,500 years old.

"Black Friday" predates shopping deals. 🛍️ The term originally referred to the 1869 U.S. financial panic & stock market crash.
Black Friday is also a 1904 novel by Frederic S. Isham, inspired by those events.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
