And I was told that St. Patrick was at Inch Abbey when he started removing all the snakes from Ireland.
Very likely. He wouldn't give them an inch.

“All units, proceed to I90, mile post 137 … multiple vehicle crash scene there … massive pile up. Officer on the scene reports having two perps in custody … apparently totally soused on Riesling and refusing to cover themselves up. Back up urgently requested. The brunette is said to be unreasonably combative and foul mouthed. Extraordinary measures may be required to subdue her.

My ex girlfriend caused a minor fender bender on King St Newtown when she performed a strip tease on the awning above the sidewalk ( easily accessible through our apartment window!)

It was only minor, I’ll never forget the drivers got out and the small subcontinental man who rear ended a taxi could only laugh as the disgruntled taxi driver got out with a “what the fuck?” Look on his face… the smaller man couldn’t stop laughing and just pointed at Alysia who was still disrobed and enjoying the spectacle too much to stop her show!

In 2022, a significant discovery took place in Chile. During archaeological excavations of the area where the Mapuche Indians once lived, scientists came across a stone that initially did not attract attention. However, when it accidentally split open, the remains of an unusual creature were discovered inside. It was the fossilized skeleton of a small humanoid with wings, which immediately caused a sensation among researchers.
Archaeologist Elias Diaz Ortega, who discovered this stone, shared his impressions of the find. He said that the Mapuche Indians associated these creatures with the tree of life, and in later times they were called fairies or pixies. Scientists estimate that the stone is about 1.5 million years old, suggesting that these creatures may have lived in local forests since ancient times. This find raised questions about the traditional theory of evolution.

:confused:

I think I've got it - another name for it is étau de desencasteler, and encasteler is a verb for 'accidental shrinking of a horse's hoof through tightening of the quarters or the heels, or atrophy of the frog' (that's the pointy bit at the heel end) - so it's a special counter-vice for getting the hoof back into shape before fitting the shoe - I think.
