Odds and sods I look at regularly, just because they amuse me. I hope they do the same for you. Incidentally, I found this page’s title on Greg Ross’s Futility Closet (it’s somewhere on this page) in a mini-article which also includes the delightful sentence in Icelandic: Barbara Ara bar Ara araba bara rabbabara. Ross points out that this, “besides being fun to say, is spelled with only three letters. It means “Barbara, daughter of Ari, brought only rhubarb to Ari the Arab.”

Futility Closet » Eight Lives

Friday 16 February 6:54:18 UTC 2018

Three weeks later, when a resupply ship landed on the island, it found Peter the Great, a camp cat, hungry but uninjured. The bodies of the 10 men and the other camp cats were never found. [Link]
