I ran across the Each-uisge quite by accident today. They are terrifying equine monsters which devour human flesh, so always good for a canter, eh?
 
A nice little water-horsie.

You should read about 18-metre-long oarfish. This is a reproduction of a BBC article written in bad Spanish, but check the links to Nature and National Geographic.
 
↑ Hilarious. :D

Also, TIL from my email inbox that I have won 2.5 million dollars if only I give somebody my personal data, including bank account information so that they can work deposit for proper monies! And for some reason my email server classified it as spam, so I'll have to have a word with them.

Hey, why don't you forward that email to all of us? That way we can all apply. Hee hee, we can clean them out before they ever knew what hit them. The maroons.
 
Sure. Email me your address and send wire order for $3000 to start processing of monies.
 
TIL that most people who win houses in the Hospital Lotteries (lotteries to raise money for hospitals) just sell them because the taxes and home insurance are too expensive.

Some of those places are quite luxurious, at least as I'd define them - great view, lots and lots of room for books... but the property taxes are insane.
 
I've been toying around with the idea of a comedy set in small, outlying courthouses in L.A. County. TIL, the Catalina court house is only open 1/2 Friday every other week, and the Malibu court house has been closed since 2013 for budgetary reasons.

Clearly the main character is the caretaker who rents out the parking lot as a basketball field, and every few episodes puts up with visits from the judge who attempts, vainly, to hold court.
 
Well, I suppose that compared to the many terrifying monsters of Hellas (Medusa, Typhon, Scylla and Charybdis, Chimera, Oikonomia), a flesh-eating underwater horse isn't that horrible. :mischief:
 
I'm 99% certain I'd manage to befriend it and together we'd terrorise the countryside.
 
Well, as noted, that would be perfectly possible until it smelt fresh or salt water and then it would dive pell-mell for that water source and plunge into the depths, whereupon it would drown its rider and feast on its flesh, except for its liver, which makes sense for the Scots (and Nordics), I suppose. :mischief:
 
Why not the liver though? I thought the Scots loved all that stuff.
 
I have no idea why, but given that alcohol strongly affects the liver, I was joking that not even flesh-eating Scottish horse-monsters want to suffer another Scot's liver.
 
I imagine a Scotsman's liver to be kinda like an oily jelly-shot.
