A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

[butters]

okay you luvverly peoples, it's way past bed o'clock and i've gotta be up by 7. much as i'd love to stop and chat, can't do.

*places glass carefully on counter, slips of stool, slides harry a note under the glass... waves g'nite to the residue of humanity left in the bar and heads on out the swing doors into the rainy night, turns up collar and smiles up into the sky*

Please note that the madness in that thread is not my doing. Apparently I have a stalker, who decided to say that it's good that I'm leaving by saying that I'm a dick.



London was set on fire? Wasn't that Nero, in Rome?

...and, I was just reminded of a class on data visualization where we studied an old map of London. Apparently, there was an epidemic of cholera in London, and by plotting the cases on a map, they managed to see that they happened more often around water wells.

Here, from wikipedia:

One of the major contributions to fighting cholera was made by the physician and pioneer medical scientist John Snow (1813–1858), who in 1854 found a link between cholera and contaminated drinking water.[47] Dr. Snow proposed a microbial origin for epidemic cholera in 1849. In his major "state of the art" review of 1855, he proposed a substantially complete and correct model for the etiology of the disease. In two pioneering epidemiological field studies, he was able to demonstrate human sewage contamination was the most probable disease vector in two major epidemics in London in 1854.[64] His model was not immediately accepted, but it was seen to be the more plausible, as medical microbiology developed over the next 30 years or so.

Fuck yeah, John Snow. Fighting white walkers, wildlings and cholera.

Surely you've read some of my poetry and noticed it's mostly romance, puppies and ice cream very little sexual content and never any violence so I don't know where you got the idea I might be a dirty boy

Frankly I'm deeply offended by the accusation

Aww...poor baby...but when I saw it you were long gone already, so I didn't comment...and it was odd that I saw it relatively early, too....had one of those 24-hr things and called in to work last night.
