The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Had an afternoon off work so I made good use of the time by going to see the Celts exhibition at the British Museum. Fascinating stuff with the Snettisham hoard of torcs on display along with versions from all over the world, plus all sorts of other things including a chariot and some replica Celtic crosses, some of which were huge. Really interesting info about the general misunderstanding of who "the Celts" were and are. Apparently the term defines people culturally rather than genetically, so I'm declaring myself Celtic. I had a Welsh grandmother so she's backup for my claim.

This evening I went to a talk about code breaking by the mathematician Simon Singh. He brought along his enigma machine to demonstrate. Those things are fascinating. There were some little kids in the audience and most of them seemed to understand it all, but then he did explain it very well.

My brain feels somewhat overstimulated now so I'd better go to sleep. Night!
