Love that the oldest company in Ireland is a bar. That seems fitting. (Via)
European civilization is built on ham and cheese? Fascinating hypothesis. Read it twice and still unclear where the ham comes in. Was vellum made out of pig skin too?
Wonder what this means for the hypothesis that it was the Irish who saved civilization. I'm guessing they both can be true.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Would not be surprised if this Sunday we saw an option pass from Julian Edelman to Cam Newton against the Chiefs. And if not this Sunday then sometime this season... NBA ratings fall off a cliff. And the viewers aren't coming back. They are DONE with the NBA. Go woke go broke... Am I the only one who would like to see miniature pony chariot races on TV?... Irish Supreme Court rules that Subway sandwiches contain "too much sugar" to legally be considered to be bread. Got to love the Irish!... It has been almost a year since Daryl Morey GM of the Houston Rockets tweeted out his support for a free Hong Kong. In the wake of the Wuhan virus the plight of Hong Kong and their subjugation by China seems to be all but forgotten in this country. That is a shame and that shame belongs to all of the free world. Don't trust China - China is asshole!...
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
In August Ireland had 70 deaths related to alcohol, and 32 deaths from suicide with 0 deaths from COVID-19. I would argue that many of those suicides and alcohol related deaths probably while not officially COVID-19 related actually were exacerbated by the lockdown... Feel that this short essay "I Never Cared" will resonate with many people... Love the acronym WEIRD for countries like the US and Canada (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic). WEIRD nations (and people) should stick together... The headline reads "Europe Just Declared Independence from China." Not sure if I'd go that far but it is clear that China has badly over-played their hand... Excellent point - John Cleese: Can you tell me a woke joke? Guessing if such a joke exists the punchline would have to do with either Trump or older white men...
