Since this letter was written it emerged that the top slice was actually 29% not 20%, which I corrected in the alt text.

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason
And then I realized:
It's an Egg McGuffin.

Two things I’ve so far discovered, rewatching Friends in 2025/26, that I didn’t or couldn’t appreciate back in the 90s:
1. At Monica’s apartment they always make coffee in a chemex.
2. Friends predicted the tech billionaire to MMA pipeline with the introduction of Jon Favreau’s Pete Becker.

Only two school children (or sheep) allowed in the shop at any one time
50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning.
After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.

Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.
As Herne would say:
