Our regular newsletter continues to blend the geeky and the childish. Our outspoken observations occasionally offend but mostly seem to be appreciated, particularly the historical trivia, which have covered a broad spectrum of topics from John’s ancestors invading Germany as mercenaries in 1630 to a double bill on the medieval practice of paying rent with eels.
