Well, its weird, Okay.

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog. Says it all, really. Favorite bit:

The difference bitwene pyracie and academicks ys so smalle that eyther opcioun shalle haue for yow the same resultes. Yn both cases, ye werke yn cramped condiciouns, and vndir tyme constrayntes, and do face manye folke who wolde fayne nat haue yow ther, and yet ye haue felaweshipe, and a grete deale of strong drinke, and eek a specialisede vocabularie the whiche othir peple vndirstonden nat. Al thogh fewe academicks weare eye-patches.

As an academic, that tickles my fancy. I should start wearing eyepstchs to committe meetings.

This should be our moto:

"But al thing in this worlde adoun is lyk vnto a cake fulle of beares– on the outsyde, it appeareth delicious and plesaunte, but inside yt is crawlinge wyth beestes that wisshe to clawe thee to deeth."

Is it synchronicity that the identy word is geiesfy?
