Beowulf and Godsylla

Sometimes one comes across an item of such exquisite nerdiosity, that the only emotion one can feel is awe mixed with jealously for not having thought of it oneself. Here is such an item gleaned from the pages of one of the internet's most original publications: The Speculative Grammarian.



Here it is: Beowulf and Godsylla



Of course, Eduard Sievers would be turning in his grave, because as fine as this little poem is, it does not follow the dictates of Germanic Alliterative Verse! Travesty!





Also, here is a very interesting article about J.S. Bach, if you're interested.



At land, at sea, at home, abroad; I smoke my pipe, and worship God. -J.S. Bach
