October 22nd - Brother Cadfael's Online Argument

Oh the toxicity of online discussion sometimes.  Usually to get a point across, someone will use ALL CAPS as if to shout their point.  Pointless, in my mind.

But today is somewhat marked as a parody holiday of International Caps Lock Day.



Set up back in 2000... have we been arguing that long online?

One group that doesn't really argue, are those Benedictine Monks.  Except for probably one... my favourite Benedictine Monk - a brother Cadfael. I loved that series on BBC and the books as well.  But in the show, Cadfael was played by one Derek Jacobi.

Derek is now 83 years old.


You may also recognize him as the Master in a few episodes of Doctor Who, was in Gladiator...  but he'll always be that Crusades knight living out his years in a monastery solving crimes like a medieval Jessica Fletcher.
