When I was doing historical research, a small piece of parchment broke off a 15th Century manuscript that I was handling. I made sure nobody was anround and I ate it.

@fesshole I really hope it was around one of those deeply disturbing Margery Kempe style holy prepuce narratives and you have nightmares about that every time you'll even consider handling medieval manuscripts. Which you obviously shouldn't be allowed to do ever again.
I have drunk a couple of 30 years old bottles of beer.
Compared to 15th century parchment, I am but an amateur!
@fesshole And now the bubonic plague is back.

I think it never really went away, it's just easily treatable with antibiotics today.
I know you were just being flippant though.
@forelioned @econads @fesshole Since this is already a bit off track I just got to appreciate the way your profile pic lines up with the reply line.
Nicely done!
@fesshole
Did it have writing on it? I can forgive you for concealing an accident, but not for eating their words.
