I'm glad you guys liked my post. I really like that picture of the girl (Little Red Riding Hood perhaps?) napping with the wolves. It reminds me of my dog, Dillon sleeping on my bed and kicking me in his sleep. The statue is an ancient Roman one (that is one patient wolf...)

Valentine's Day is now mostly about hearts, flowers, jewelry and candy (BUY STUFF! LOTS OF STUFF! Just like Christmas) so I thought "hey, why not something different?" ?

I love the obscure stuff, so one of my go to sites to browse is Encyclopedia Mythica since they have so many interesting articles re:various cultures and folklore. I found this article about "Lupercus" there a bit ago, but it needed some fleshing out with more information. I found the picture of the girl and the "beating ladies with thongs" guy while looking at the image results.

Another site I like to go to is The Public Domain Review which has, well, all kinds of stuff:

Quote:

You’ll find pieces on a wide and eclectic range of subjects – from a history of the smile in portraiture to the case of the woman who claimed to give birth to rabbits

So yeah, I'm a fount of mostly useless information gleaned over the years . BUT! Ask me if I ate today or even what day it is? Derp, I dunno! Can't remember "xxxx" syndrome, CSR. It is especially annoying when I wander into the kitchen and then forget why I went there in the first place, ugh.

My OCD just now compelled me to look up whether font or fount was correct {rolls eyes) turns out both are correct. There, now we *all* know this fairly useless bit of information. YOU"RE WELCOME!!!
