  5. Medieval monks in Easter Ross – and not the Hebridean island of Iona – may have created the intricately decorated 1,200-year-old Book of Kells, according to researchers. A new project will explore the possibility it was created at a monastery in Portmahomack where there was a workshop turning animal hides into vellum.

Cats, it seems, were very well thought of in medieval churches because they hunted mice, and mice had the habit of munching on communion wafers, which was both inconvenient and mildly sacrilegous.

  18. Late Stage Capitalism doesn't care whether you are educated, just that you can be exploited.
