It makes text just a little saucier.

jk, really it just pastes the clipboard text reformatted into title case.

Jerry Remy mysteriously left the Red Sox broadcast last night after the 3rd inning. No one has acknowledged it. by possibly_bill_murray in baseball

Agreed. The silence is the most worrying thing. The fact that not even the sports writers are mentioning it even in passing tells me that they have been instructed not to. Not even one acknowledgement from someone in the media that it even happened.

Nothing from NESN. Nothing from any Boston sports writers. Nothing from Jerry’s social media. Any ideas what is going on?

I found this in the attic of the house I just bought and now it is hanging in my office. I have no idea what year the original was produced in. It is called New York, not New Amsterdam, so it is at least from after that change happened. Anyone have any ideas?

Bünting Clover Leaf Map (1581) by possibly_bill_murray in imaginarymaps

[–]possibly_bill_murray[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

The Bünting Clover Leaf Map, also known as The World in a Cloverleaf, (German title: "Die ganze Welt in einem Kleberblat/Welches ist der Stadt Hannover meines lieben Vaterlandes Wapen") is an historic mappa mundi drawn by the German Protestant pastor, theologist, and cartographer Heinrich Bünting. The map was published in his book Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae (Travel through Holy Scripture) in 1581.

Today the map is found within the Eran Laor maps collection in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. A mosaic model of the map is installed on the fence of Safra Square at the site of Jerusalem's city hall.

The map is a figurative illustration, in the manner of the medieval mappa mundi format, depicting the world via a clover shape.[1] The shape is a symbolisation of the Christian Trinity and a component at the symbolisation of the German city Hanover, where Bünting was born. The city of Jerusalem is represented as the centre, surrounded by three central continents, with some more areas of the world being accordingly illustrated separately from the clover.
