Always amazed to see how much academic writing has changed in the last few centuries. Not a lot accessible from before 1900, but I just found a thesis on Arabic as spoken in Beirut — 104 pages handwritten (presumably because of the amount of Arabic in it). No bibliography because it was a totally unexplored area at the time: just a page of "professors I consulted during my year in Beirut". Heh.
@phoneboy That's slightly less cause for concern than the meaning of "multiply" I understood at first.

Wonderful tasting of Australian wines. Tasted about 30 wines and really liked 4, which doesn't happen very often.
@matigo Worrying. Might have to leave the 7+ behind and take a freshly-wiped 6+ to New York. Disposable email and Dropbox account too.

Woke up with the worst headache/migraine I've had in years. The sound of refilling my glass with water was unbearable. But paracetamol acts surprisingly quickly — I stopped shivering within 5 minutes. Weird.
