9 August, 2006

The younger pawn gets a rollicking because she has not got dressed yet; she's reading the dictionary. Up to 'K' so far.

The elder pawn turns to me, mouth full of foaming toothpaste.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
