(Catholic University of Leuven, founded 1425. That was apparently also about the year Beijing became the largest city in the world. But since you all have wikipedia as well you doubtless know that. Wink)

From preliminary book for children Bog Braon don tSeanduine: With its repetitive call for a soft drop (of whiskey) and in subsequent verses for an egg and later for some soup - all for the purpose of putting an old person to slee0- this is possibly a lullaby or children's nonsense song or perhaps a combination of both:-

Bog braon, bog braon, bog braon don tseanduine,
Bog braon is blais fein, gob braon don tseanduine

Cuir a chodhladh, suir a chodhladh, cuir a chodhladh an tseanduine
Cuir a chodhladh is ni a chosa is bog deach don tseanduine.

I don't have wikipedia, can't afford it. I still have a 1986 Britannica, and it says something similar.


Movies of pluto?! People: is there an internet equivalent of the thumb-cinema? Any help would be appreciated.

Witz
German-Swiss painter. Born in Germany, in 1434 he entered the painters' guild in Basel, where he worked most of his life. Little else is known of his life. His masterpiece, Miraculous Draft of Fishes (1444)The M, from an altarpiece for the cathedral of Geneva, exemplifies such precise realism that the light reflected off the water's surface is carefully distinguished from the light reflected off the stones beneath the shallow water. He was one of the first German painters to show the influence of Early Netherlandish art, and one of the first European artists to incorporate realistic landscapes into religious paintings.
