Too Much Information: a rant.

Look, I realise that Good King Wenceslas would have been eating brussels sprouts practically all of Christmas Day, with predictable results. But still, there's such a thing as too much information, and do we really need to be told about the state of his digestion when he went out to help the poor man gathering winter fuel? 



The rude wind's wild lament, indeed!

Mind you, it's the poor page I feel most sorry for, trudging along behind him.

Word To Use Today: wind. This word has remained unchanged in English for over a thousand years. The Latin form was ventus.
