Can you please give me a niche fun fact (about any topic) that will impress my fellow nerd friends?
According to UK law, once bees are swarming no-one owns them. Whoever is the landowner of the spot they settle in becomes their new owner. Beekeepers may ask you politely if they can collect them but technically they belong to their new landlord.
Hey y'all,
Just thought I would try something this week and give a couple of thoughts on today’s episode. (I might do it again in future, I might not, let’s see.)
Personal Thoughts:
I have to admit I was nervous about this one. I have taken lead researching the historical elements of Protocol and part of me is always terrified that someone will drop me a line and be like “FYI this makes no sense” and then I realise they are right.
That said, I have checked and double checked though so it’s probably fine right? Also frankly I didn’t really have to make that much stuff up. History in this period is absolutely bananas.
Fun fact for this episode: The Gilded Gallows. Look it up.
Backstage insight: I don’t deliberately keep including Newton in my work. The guy just has a lot of links to him on Wikipedia y'know? Also I super enjoy writing old-timey.
Further Reading:
If you are interested in the topics I recommend the following (on the understanding that they do not contain secrets for the show or anything I just think they are good):
1) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
2) Outliers Podcast S2E1 Crack of Thunder by Gabrielle Urbina of Wolf359 fame
3) The Ritman Library in Amsterdam
