Well, *I* don't put historically innacurate things in my mouth...

This principle is something I felt the need to articulate this week, as a result of discovering first the latest abuse of the Not-Viking-Helmet, and then the latest in 'protective' gear*

Originally, circle A had been entirely encompassed by circle B, but after my terrible efforts at pronunciation this week...
And circle B had originally been much larger, but as I was gnawing on my pen and chewing my fingernails just now, I think I may have overestimated it somewhat.

I feel like I should say something significant about the medieval in modern culture, and the fact that you can dress your manly-bits up heroically, but instead, I shall leave you with the following advice: if your bedroom ego is inflated by the addition of chain-mail or faux-viking helmets, for the love of Bede make sure your chosen partner is a modern historian.**

In regards to the hats: I actually didn't know what those were for until after I looked at them for about 30 seconds. I thought the headline was referring to ... gosh, I don't even know. Bad behavior, or something. I guess I hang out on the internet too much and took the word as merely an insult.

I thought "my those hats look very simple, as if they are made of chocolate or something", then I realized they were candy, and then I realized that I am not capable of wearing such a hat.
