According to Irish tradition, the world's first copyright dispute was between two monks arguing over a copied Psalm book

The High King ruled in 561 AD: 'To every cow her calf. To every book its copy.'

Columba refused to accept the judgment

~3,000 men died in the battle that followed

A culture so serious about manuscripts that a copied Psalm book was worth going to war over

Your regular reminder that at the exact moment this was taken, Everton were winning the FA Cup Final. The kids are running feral because their parents are all inside watching and listening!

🇮🇪✨ 17 years ago today, Everton signed Seamus Coleman from Sligo Rovers for just £60k! 🤯

To this day, he's still playing for them. One of the biggest Premier League bargains!

Coleman is currently one of Europe's longest serving players. 👏

Happy birthday to Séamus Coleman, who turns 37 today. 🇮🇪

He's easily one of the best transfers of all-time in the Premier League joining Everton for just £60,000 from Sligo Rovers in 2009.

Currently the longest-serving player at a Premier League club and and he's gone on to play 430+ games for Everton.

there's a post every 3 months on here about how old borders influence polish election results every 3 months but no one ever talks about the danelaw affecting election results over 1000 years later
