I love Maths, music, teaching and singing. Don't make me choose.

@SoNotWright @Number10cat As a South African, that isn't any of the myriad of our accents I've ever come across. He chose to be American, and rejected South Africa. I've heard many people here say (for years now) he's got nothing to do with us - America can keep him!

@SeanMaonaigh @qikipedia Wikipedia refers to a book by Willem Steenkamp which does apparently talk about trained unmounted cattle. The text which is referenced to the book says "The ǃUriǁʼaekua also deployed especially trained cattle which would respond to specific whistles and whoops."

Turns out we were right about the faster tempo turning up on the soundtrack... I love this version!

Thoughts on #TomBombadil song for @tolkienprof and @MaggieParke: Have a listen at x1.5 speed - suddenly we're dancing down the Withywindle with a tralala lally! Could this be closer to the tempo of the song within the episode, with the released version in the credits?

Suggestion: if it doesn’t fit the original work, it is anacosmic (against the right order of the world); if it feels right, syncosmic (together with the right order of the world). This implies “faithfulness”, without the loaded meaning. What do you think? (4/4)

.@tolkienprof @MaggieParke We were listening to Other Minds & Hands, and we have a suggestion for an invented term for an adaptation that “feels like” the original. The “anachronistic” comment got us started. (1/4)

[Jessica Lloyd-Jones @22jeska]

Chronos refers to time, so what would the equivalent be for our purpose? Our suggestion is “Cosmos”, the Greek word meaning among other things, the world, order, and the right order of the world. (3/4)

The accepted 'laws of physics' which most scientists agree describe or govern the behavior of the cosmos, do not, of course, apply to goats.
