jogging my memory
Flipping through my notebook, I found the word "Schistosomiasis" scrawled on a blank page. What was this word, so hastily scribbled opposite "The Chastity Belt of Venezia"? Why was it standing there, lonely and afraid, without a definition or context?
And then with one Google search, I remembered.

Aaaaahahahahahaha. Check for Monday.
Really though, why did you have that written in your notebook? And why was it next to the Chastity Belt of Venezia? Please tell me the long-ago wearer of the chastity belt did not also have schistosomiasis. That would be too, too awful.
I accidently skipped those pages while I was writing-- and there's nothing worse than a blank page... except maybe a blank page with schistosomiasis written on it.
Angela is responsible for the charming chastity belt sketch. We saw it in a museum and wanted to remember it... mainly because it looked nothing like the one in "robin hood: men in tights".
Are you saying that Robin Hood: Men in Tights isn't historically accurate?
i like that the chastity belt holes look like an exclamation point.
@Maeve: I had the same thought!
@Ivan: After looking it up, I agree with the "eww" feeling. Simon is gross. But one can never say S&I isn't educational! ;)
I beg your pardon. I myself am not gross. Schistosomiasis is gross. Let's keep that straight.
::patiently awaits a post that is slightly less gross than schistosomiasis and chastity belts of Venice::
Haha. Sorry. Your patience is appreciated...
btw ivan, was the museum the ripley's museum in canada? it looks a lot like the one I saw there.
I'm with Christi. Can we please have a new post?
