  • They found and translated a bunch of tablets of letters to him that were found all together. As I remember, there were several complaints about the quality of the copper and they decided the building they were found in must have been his workshop. It’s possible he has happy customers who just didn’t write him letters.







  • Shit, now I’m thinking about it and you’d need something big like a flank steak or a brisket. I don’t think a pork-loin would work since it’s not broad enough. You’d still need to probably butterfly it, and then fringe the edge so you had strands to work into the braid. Best I can think of would be more like braided filled pastry than anything else. Not a terrible sway to do a stuffed roast or roulade I guess.








  • It’s not bad, the modern frame doesn’t even really change the feel of the story, although the way the rest of the story is presented is also complicated. I recommend reading it, especially if you’ve seen the movie and enjoyed it.

    I was grateful the movie simplified the presentation so that you could really focus on the underlying interesting bits. I left the novel still a little confused as to WTF was going on some regards and the movie makes the essential plot reveals much easier to follow.

    The secret is it’s ALSO Ikea.

    Go to the Ikea website and search for bookcases. The standard Billy bookcase is $89 in my location. It’s made of wood veneer over particlebaord. They last about 10- 15 years or so before the glue holding the particles together breaks down and they become fragile.

    Then use the Materials option to limit to “Solid Wood”, the same size Hemnes bookcase is $250. Same height, similar styling, made of solid wood and going to last much longer.

    You can buy solid, long lasting furniture at Ikea, but it’s not the cheapest option so people often miss it.
