Thanks Irish. It was a sad Saturday morning yesterday without FFF. Call me a Demoncrat; I appear to be hooked on your hard labor and the weekly picture show for which I contribute nothing.
When the Great Plague of London ravaged through the British city beginning in 1665, Issac Newton was a student at Trinity College, Cambridge. As described in Gale Christianson's Isaac Newton, a few months after acquiring his undergraduate degree in the spring of that year, the 23-year-old retreated to his family farm of Woolsthorpe Manor, some 60 miles northwest of Cambridge. Along with being located a safe distance from the carriers of the horrific disease that was wiping out the population of the city, Woolsthorpe provided the sort of quiet, serene environment that allowed a mind like Newton's to journey, uninterrupted, to the farthest reaches of the imagination. This period is now known as annus mirabilis – the "year of wonders."
Irish, If it ever becomes a choice between digging up information on when the plague and Sir Issac Newton crossed paths, and finding more of the delights that are nude or partially nude women, I vote for letting Sir Issac Newton Rest In Peace. And this post had some especially beautiful examples of the female form. Well done. Pigpen51
Good one! Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteBest use of masks I've seen in a month.
ReplyDeletePS I don't think the first one's are real.
The Black Death was 14th century, Newton was 17th century.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a real problem here.
With calculus or the time frame ? 😂. I didn’t research the meme , now, I have to.

ReplyDeleteThere was also another major epidemic of the plague in the 17th century. Plague was a recurring theme.
