I forgot I had a Blogger account! Remember the lyrics to "Modern Major General" ? I never understood this first line to this phrase: " Then I can write a washing bill in Balylonic cuneiform And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform; In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral I am the very model of a modern Major-General" What the heck is a 'washing bill' ? https://www.reddit.com/r/gilbertandsullivan/comments/2o9vyu/an_actual_washingbill_in_babylonic_cuneiform / Gives us an image of one.
