J. B. S. Haldane once observed: “The universe is not only queerer than we suppose; it is queerer than we CAN suppose.”

And Haldane hadn't even HEARD of Mastodon and the Fediverse!

And THAT'S not queer at all, because he died before the Fediverse was born, and that's just how history works.

It's a little tricky to see but interestingly (not sure that's the right word here but it's what I'm going with!) one of the "cobblestones' in our courtyard appears to be a piece of gravestone. Not sure what the story is, perhaps it simply broke before it was finished, or had a typo, or whatever the engraving equivalent is, a chisleo??
Either way someone who died in 1993 is ready to greet us everytime we arrive home.
