Kidding aside can a reader ask what chain of events brought this to light today? (no pun intended); 9/21/10, 9:45 AM
Ann Althouse said...: @HD I was reading an old case called People v. Philips (about the priest-penitent privilege). Class prep. Munster's mentioned.; 9/21/10, 9:49 AM
chickelit said...: I hope they're incandescent bulbs and not CFLs.; 9/21/10, 10:29 AM
Calypso Facto said...: Such a famous münster that they named the whole town for it. I lived near the beautiful Ulmer Münster for a couple years. A peaceable change to Protestantism through referendum there. The Schwabians are much more laid back.; 9/21/10, 10:53 AM

You chose the blue pill.; 9/21/10, 2:37 PM
lemondog said...: Another image but no light bulbs.; 9/21/10, 2:38 PM
bagoh20 said...: Shouldn't those cages have rotting corpses? It's a European thing.; 9/21/10, 2:39 PM
Synova said...: Thanks. Now I can see them. Now that I know where to look.; 9/21/10, 2:46 PM

Well, at least skulls and some bones clanking around.

Would have been more dramatic to have cages swinging from the protruding gargoyles or whatever; 9/21/10, 3:02 PM

lucid said...: Just like some Islamists, except that it happened 500 years ago.

But what is the story on Munster cheese?; 9/21/10, 7:38 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Suddenly, Munster cheese seems so much less appetizing.; 9/21/10, 8:00 PM
lucid said...: Yeah, but Munster cheese melted over a toasted English muffin is still one of the best and most soothing late night half-dinners. I'll just think of Munster Cheese as coming from Kraft, USA.; 9/21/10, 8:20 PM
lucid said...: hunh. Munster and Muenster are two different cheeses. Who knew?; 9/21/10, 8:45 PM
