Two Monks Invent Medieval Art.

MONK #1: what does it look like when some people are far away but some are closer
MONK #2: draw them all exactly the same size

Two Orthodox Monks Invent Byzantine Art.

MONK #1: hey how big are most eyes
MONK #2: like on the human face?
MONK #1: oh yes for sure the eyes people have on their faces
MONK #2: oh man
at least half the size of the face
it’s actually crazy how much of your face is just eyes
definitely at least half
MONK #1: thanks
MONK #2: no problem

This just kills me.

Have you seen the medieval manuscript with the inky cat footprints across it?

I think the monk was talking to his cat, who, as ever, led him astray.

NO, THOU DOEST NOT GET SCRICHIES

[mustangsally78.livejournal.com]

No scritchies for the one that peed on the manuscript either!

Although I'm liking the nun with the distaff cat toy.

YES! I love that! I also love that Victor Hugo had obviously owned a cat at one point, because I came across a passage in Les Miserables that characterized someone indecisive as a cat who, when you opened the door, couldn't decide which side of the door to be on.

Cats are cats, trhough the ages.
