The Oldest Sephardic Haggadah (Circa 1350) ~ Considered the most beautiful Jewish illuminated manuscript in existence, and the oldest Sephardic Haggadah, the Sarajevo Haggadah, was produced in the mid-14th century in Barcelona, Spain. It was written on bleached calfskin and illuminated in copper and gold, and opens with 34 pages of illustrations of biblical scenes from creation through the death of Moses. It is preserved at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.聽

Hey if any of you, like me, spend a lot of time on teanglann.ie, you might have gotten fed up with how hard it is to find stuff in their massive paragraphs.
I made a Firefox extension (mostly for myself) which automatically breaks the paragraphs up so it's easier to read
Sorry for the chrome users, if I ever get a chance I might try and port it for chrome, but I haven't done that yet.
The formatting isn't entirely consistent, but a lot of that comes down to the entries themselves being formatted a little inconsistently, if you notice any bugs, please let me know
I was once looking up some stuff to do with the Irish language on my work computer and I clicked on a link to an Irish language forum, but when i did, my work's IT system denied me access to the website. When I investigated the reason, it inexplicitly said "pornography".

Had to fill out a new form for my psychiatrist's office recently -- pretty standard stuff, including a drop-down for race/ethnicity and another for primary language.
But when I entered "english" in the Primary Language search bar as requested, it offered me some amazing, exciting options.
[ID: A screengrab of the form, where I have typed "eng" in the search bar; three options are visible below. The options are "English", "English, Old 450-1100" and "English, Middle 1100-1500".]
I know it's just because the form autoloaded a preset list of languages from somewhere that included Old and Middle English, but I'm still tickled by the idea that Clarity Clinic Chicago has people onboard who could prescribe Adderall for Caedmon or help Shakespeare sort out his gender issues.
