Honest, she just walked straight into my outstretched fingers and hit the ground like an Italian soccer player. No way was I practicing my Vulcan nerve pinch


Let's get outa here, lads. These ladies look dangerously inbred; the trees are melting; I can hear banjo music in the distance; and there's a bunch of library pixies down in the lower right corner, which always means trouble.

That Chand and Murthy article suggests that the first episode of Gulliver's travels is to be interpreted as a "description" of the Lilliputian hallucination phenomenon. Really?

I feel this is unrealistic. There are no indications that Gulliver suffers from schizophrenia or the tell-tale vision loss of Charles Bonnet syndrome, and he is hardly likely to be afflicted with acute alcohol withdrawal only hours after consuming a half-pint of brandy. I suspect that the story is completely fictional.

I confess to sometimes doubting Captain Lemuel Gulliver's full veracity.

In English Christmas cooking, brandy is a common flavouring in traditional foods such as Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, brandy butter, and Christmas pudding.
