@pooserville@dice.camp that reminds me of this: "In 1839 the third volume of the parochial history appeared, containing an account of the Roman wall; in it Hodgson first clearly established the claim of Emperor Hadrian to be considered as its builder; notably, as the claim isn't a claim on Northumbrian history, it is formatted as a 166-page footnote in the book, taking up about half the book's length. " - Wikipedia John Hodgson's History of Northumberland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hodgson_(antiquary) #Footnotes #Wikipedia

@pooserville@dice.camp I am surprised that no one has complained about the change in colour for the binding leather. That seems to me to be a massive irritant! Unless there is some change in the colour of the ferns discussed in Vol 1–3 vs 4–8, I would like to know WTAF are they NOT the SAME COLOUR‽ Jeepers!!

@pooserville@dice.camp Darwin studied earthworms for 40 years. He played music to them and wrote his last book all about it. Neuro-typical, right?
