  1. I read that same poem, translated differently, and it immediately sprang to mind when I saw this video

  2. Some years ago, I read a book called "How the Irish Saved Civilization", that was mostly about Irish monks preserving Christianity and literacy in the British Isles during and immediately after the Anglo-Saxon invasion and conquest. The one thing I really remember about it was that in some book that was meticulously copied by some monk, presumably Irish or of Irish extraction, there was a little poem written in the margins about how the monk hunts words while his cat, Pangor Ban, hunts mice

  3. I've had cats my whole life, and never had a problem with mice or rats
