One thing I've never understood is why Westerns are so
culinarily conservative. Where are the lasagne, fettucine or
cavatappi westerns? |
|
|
In the cannelloni, but never edited for theatrical release ... |

The good, the bad and the gnocchi. |

Wasn't this baked already? "They Call Me Trinity". Can't get much more Christmassy than that! |
|
|
Except that before Christmas there wasn't a trinity as such, shirley ? |
|
|
The three wise men were a trinity, surely? And they came to witness the manifestation of the holy trinity on earth. My religious knowledge might, I confess, be a bit sketchy on this as most of my RE lessons at school were spent being whacked around the earhole with a copy of PE Teacher magazine. |

Apparently (and according to QI - in fact, Stephen Fry
Himself), we have no idea how many Wise Men there actually
were. It could have been seven - just saying. |
|
|
Well that's at least two trinities right there then, ain't it guv! |
|
|
Actually, it's a lot more. P(n,m) for "any three out of seven " is quite a lot .. |
|
|
Would anyone like to give their calculated value ? |
|
|
<Hefts board duster meaningfully/> |
|
|
if we allow for a statistical observation, the odds of that
many wise men next to each other, even in the Middle East,
are quite low. |
|
|
It depends on the local value of "wise", shirley ? |
|
|
For an agglomeration of persons considered "wise" by a consensus, we would recommend Stockholm on the day of the Nobel Prize awards. Those present, if not necessarily wise in a purely intellectual sense, certainly exhibit sufficient innate wisdom to be able to cadge a free invite to a Big Dinner. |
