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.**
