Flights of black horsemen soar over churches

Contrary to popular misconception, Neo-Gothic architecture does not actually involve black nail polish, Doc Martens or fish-net stockings.

Cristo does have a project to wrap Cologne Cathedral* in actual fish-net so it will look like it's wearing stockings, but so far the locals have vetoed this plan on account of the fish flapping about and smelling.

If the engines keep falling out of your aeroplanes then you should invest in Pugin's 14-cylinder air-cooled Goblin radial engines, with the overhead tappet valves and the concentric cam shaft!

* Our Pedantry Reporter sez: Not actually a Cathedral.

I cannot attend the service at Our Lady of the Blessed Beatings this week. I am helping a friend rebore his rotary chaos engine. It is a wankel of a job.

Perhaps you should seek guidance from the droning pedant that bored it the first time.

Clearly, once it's been bored, there isn't a great deal to be...ZZZzzzzz....
