      Germany is yet to discover this invention. I was told that by someone working at the Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft who was discussing the implications of the Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung.

      News of this is also yet to reach *Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales.*

      I learned spacing by writing a word placing my finger down and then writing the next word. Surely I’m not the only person that did this I don’t do it now though.

      My favorite thing about this page is the 300 year gap between the invention of whiskey and anything else.

      I wonder was going on when some Irish person invented an ejector seat, and in the next school holiday, a submarine.

      The 7th century was a fascinating time for Irish monks. From the 6th century onwards there was a flowering expansion of Irish monastic sites that spread all across Europe. It wasn’t just the space between words that Irish monks gave to civilization. It was a sort of scholastic golden age with great works of religious art being produced at the same time that post-Roman Europe languished in the dark ages. Irish monasteries were functionally independent from Rome too. The Irish practiced polygamy and had a different way of calculating the date of Easter, they also weren’t very concerned with strictly sending their tithes to Rome. Divorce was permitted here too and was relatively easy to access. A great rabbit hole to dive down altogether.

      Judging by the way my mother talks this just have been some time after 1957.

      My favorite thing is that we invented whiskey in the 1400s, went on the piss for 200 years and then invented Chemistry 😆 🤣 😂

      I learned yesterday that duty-free airport shopping was first started at Shannon airport, before spreading round the world.
