RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST

i am using up a smaller pad of paper hence lest room.
BASIL the great was not really enough to post. but just saying the name in hono of my fuzzy basil the great/fat assed

BASILICA-'royal' portico or 'hall'. 5 pges to skip, but neato illustrations and floor plans of famous basilicas.

BASKERVILLE,John-1706-1775 printer, made improvements in japanning, which he did with zeal. he also did caligraphy and stone carving, he then experimented in type founding and produced fine books, but rare as he did not print many as they weren't good enough for him. worth $$$ back then. imagine now.

BASKET-2 pges i skimmed, do mention water proof woven ones by american indians and use of porcupine quills.

BASQUE PROVINCES- 3 spanish provences, seperate in character, language, and manners. no mention of Basque seperatists back then.

BASSELIN, Olivier-old french poet/songwriter. mid 1300-1418/19 born in Val-De Vire. he was a fuller(?) and had a mill on river Vire. his songs were very popular and joyous. this is where we get Vaudeville. or they surmised Vaux-De-Vire(a town nearby).

my oh my. i feel smarter.what went? oops, there goes physics except for E=MC2.

Comments:
fuller - in the cloth thickening business, like making felt. You knew that.

also, the groove along the side of your sword blade. When people talk about knives, they sometimes refer to a blood groove. You probably didn't know that.
 
gee, i was right. somebody else would know what a fuller was. was searching the internets last night, and it doesn't go to olivier, but goes straight to vaudeville, so i guess the EB is right.
