Permanent

Permanent: ondulació artificial dels cabells que dura molt de temps, sez Pere@Saragatona. I think it would suit Otegi.

I don’t know how easy it is to do this kind of thing on stage, although it has obviously been done in real life. I had originally considered using a vaguely Edwardian toy lamb on wheels, but a poodle (or a ferret) sounds more interesting. I guess it depends on the poodle; I guess also…

Teaching grammaticians to suck eggs

I struggle terribly with English, so I feel particular sympathy for the people who wrote, “But never before have we experienced as creative a phase in language as we are now in our age of modern media”, even if they are the authors of the Cambridge Grammar.

Trebucheting China from the moon
