Weekly weigh in

Here is the latest kitten growth report:

Fat Kitten: 775g +75g
Woolly Bear: 675g +150g
Rufina: 600g +150g
Slim: 625g +225g

Clearly our kitchen scales aren't the most accurate way of weighing kittens but directionally things are pretty good.

Question for medievalists/linguists

Does anyone happen to know how much the Greek language used in the Eastern empire changed over the 1200 or so years of its existence? When I think how much most languages that i have any idea about have changed over a similar period I would expect the changes to be significant. That said, I've never seen references to "Middle Byzantine Greek" or anything like in anything I've read about Byzantium.

Puzzled

The kittens now have the run of the apartment when we are home to keep some sort of eye on them. I have no idea how it is possible for four kittens to apparently be in so many different places at the same time.

Brainz

This afternoon I was even more like a zombie than usual. lemur_catta has done an excellent write up. So I can go cook dinner instead.

But is the Dead parrot sketch in fact the definitive Python endeavour. You, the readers, get to choose which is the the definitive, the most iconic, Python sketch of all.
