This would be a good day to just disappear into the Quackverse. A dear friends wife fell a few days ago and broke her neck. She’s now paralyzed from the neck down and can’t breathe without being hooked up to a machine. Her kids are flying in today (they live on the west coast) and they’re disconnecting her from life support tomorrow.

Spent my day setting things up with the funeral home, their pastor and reserving our community room for her memorial service. What’s worse is that my wife and a couple more of her friends were planning a party celebrating her 70th birthday later this month and the kids were flying in to surprise her.

This day has truly sucked.

Oh no. Sorry for your loss, my friend.

False! Even full plate armor is really light, and it was distributed very ergonomically. A full set weighed an average of like 50 pounds, which is a hell of a lot less than soldiers today are running around with...and it isn't distributed nearly as ergonomically these days. Modern infantry can be running around and fighting with over twice that weight. Plate armor was also completely flexible, so range of motion wasn't impacted. Plus, knights trained with this stuff. End result is that they'd be covered in steel, mostly impervious to harm, and just as fast and capable as if they were unarmored. You're not outrunning or outmaneuvering them.

The myth that armor was so unwieldy that its wearers were slow or couldn't mount their own steeds comes from tournament armor. Jousting for sport was such a controlled environment that it was fine to just load up with a shitload of armor to make sure you were safe. That stuff limited motion in specific ways, and was very heavy. But you'd be a simpleton to wear it in combat or out and about.

Have you seen the NOVA from 5ish years ago where they do A/B testing with muskets vs shitty infantry armor and armor made from a royal quality foundry?

My god that is terrible, I’m so sorry.

No but I very much wish I had.

This is incidentally where the term "bulletproof" is from. Go to the Met and check out their armor collection, and you'll see lots of breastplates with a prominent dent in them. That's where the armorer proved it stops bullets by shooting it. Bullet proof.

Survived the bullet check:

Failed the cannonball check:

Sounds like she lacks elbow confidence. Gotta build that up. Get her a Himalayan salt scrub and fancy lotion for the elbows.

Here you go:

My thoughts with her, her family, and you and all her friends. In this terrible time, you’re a wonderful friend to them, E.

For our make-up pick the Bufo's are proud to select the Golden Compass 'series' by Philip Pullman. I was older than 12 when I read it but did enjoy it none the less. The trilogy featured one of our favorite literary characters, Iorek Byrnison.

What the hell?

Never trust a woman who shows her elbows. If she's willing to let people see an elbow, what else is she showing off? Where does the shameless exhibitionism end?

I took pity on Asnito's illiteracy and gave him "The Golden Compass" for Team Children's BOOK, singular. I'm really kind.

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock and me on deck. @Hollywood Cannon is on the lido deck with his normal pick and a make-up pick, because he has decided that he is just going to pick two at a time every time now.

Although I think this time he is working on something behind the scenes, and who are we to question the Il Duce of Quacktown? @Chuck Downie is on the lido afterdeck.

Yesterday I had "Parks and Rec" on, and it was the ep where they said goodbye to Lil Sebastien. These lines caught my attention (not for the first time):

"You trade your legs for angel's wings
And once we've all said goodbye
You take a running leap and you learn to fly"

I put myself in Lil Sebastien's (horse)shoes and I imagined what it would be like to learn to fly. F*** alone knows why I thought of this, or why I ever think of anything I think of, but I did. I kind of wondered how it would work mechanically, and I realized something. If you have a bad back, will it make it difficult to fly? The bad back is certainly secondary to the question of where in the f*** you would get wings from, but provided you do get wings somehow, will you be able to fly if your back is all f***ed up? Also, you have to wonder if getting the wings in the first place would f*** up your f***ed-up back worse than it was already. I don't know. I didn't reach any conclusions, but the good news is that it killed as many as 30 seconds of time. That was cool.
