A reminder of one of the most beautiful etymologies out there: the 'pupil' of the eye is named after the Latin 'pupilla', little doll' - because when we look into the eyes of another, we see a tiny, doll-like reflection of ourselves.

I would like to present a tv docu-drama based on my book Disability and the Tudors, but apparently, disability history is considered too taboo for television. I’m sorry, but I really don’t believe that. If any production companies are interested in working with me, get in touch.

99 years ago, in 1922, Hans-Jürgen Riegel invented the 'Dancing Bear' - a long, slim fruit gummy bear, which he sold two for a penny. It developed into the Gummibärchen and his little company in Bonn would do rather well with it - Haribo, an acronym formed from Hans Riegel Bonn.

#OnThisDay 1814 British troops invaded Washington DC. They found the table set for dinner in the White House, so consumed that, drank some "very good wine" & then set fire to the building.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction [..] and the distinction between true and false [..] no longer exists.”
