Enjoyed discussing the Hereford Mappa Mundi today. Here's a version converted into modern political borders, to give you a sense of how the world looked from Hereford c. 1300 (source: www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co...)

Probably so. But the pre-Middle Chinese pronunciation of 武當 Wǔdāng (the mountains after whom the Wu-Tang are named) was roughly *muʔ tang.

some dingbat on amazon is selling sukkot decorations that, due to printing the hebrew backwards, say "tuchus" instead

sukkot decoration/gift boxes that say "happy sukkot" in english and "tukhus" (butt) in hebrew

A man in a tall hat with an orb in it and a robe labelled "Irony God" points to himself and says "I, the God of Irony, will enter an irony contest to show that I am the most ironic." He handily wins the contest and gets handed the "most ironic" trophy by a man in a tuxedo who says "congratulations, Irony God! You've won the Irony contest!" The Irony God gloats "this went exactly as expected..." He then considers "which isn't very ironic." He immediately starts melting while shrieking "NOOOOOOO!" He cries "I am in indescribable agony!" The man in the tuxedo looks shocked.
