who are you guys?

I tend to downplay the friendslist thing, but I am really massively curious. Especially to those who have friended me this year... (if I don't obviously know who you are), a la [livejournal.com profile] sdn, tell me 3 cool things about yourself. What drove you here?

[livejournal.com profile] handworn, I am drawn to the ubiquitous nature of Philadelphia in your journal. It is always a good thing to have Friends in Philadelphia.

I was reading recently that the Bayeux Tapestry has actually been reworked several times over the years. Someone recently compared the two engravings made in the early 18th century and early 19th century, with the late 19th century photographs of it, with what it looks like today, and it would seem that the famous arrow or bolt in King Harold's eye didn't start out there. In the early 18th century engraving, it's a lot more like a lance he's hurling, and not touching his head at all.

Damn, now where'd I read all that...?
