jinianTrilobite cookies were first invented in Italy during the Renaissance, where they were eaten only by young maidens of good family but poor prospects...
*whack* Er, sorry.
That was so much fun! The cookies were totally upstaged by the bad, bad book that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elynne and baxil brought with them from firecat and A. (Yikes, look at what the author wrote at that link. Also note that you can get the book used for a buck.)
Cookies did get made, though, and they're terribly cute. I am so tired this morning, though. I didn't kick people out because I was having too much fun, so nobody left until 12:30 or so. Oops.

it sizzles!
Date: 2002-02-25 08:46 am (UTC)Reviews were invented by the Greeks in 450 BC. Their simple yet complex way of reviewing books was simple, in that they were a plain-spoken people, and complex in that books would not be invented until 1452. I often think of my idol, 15th century printing press inventor Johannes Gutenberg, and wonder about how our sense of adventure and love for fiddly bits of metal can help to bring humankind to its next evolutionary stage.
Trilobaking was fun! Getting very little sleep was not. Next time bake on a Saturday!

Date: 2002-02-25 10:15 am (UTC)It sizzles! "A masterfully crafted story!" exclaims somebody paid to review the book by the magazine that was responsible for publishing the
hideous pendulous trotting llama-meatbook. Even so, he couldn't quite bring himself to praise anything specific about the story... I'd guess that they handed him a copy and said "Here, write a positive review," and after twenty pages he gagged, threw it across the room, and made some shit up. Or "she", I don't know which "Loren" is. Either way, I feel pity and sympathy. Sympathy, of course, was invented by the Babylonians in 4000 BC, which they first felt upon seeing the poor schmucks in the gulag (which had already itself existed for about 4000 years).Re: it sizzles!

I loved this last bit:
