The lines of this riddle tell us of a somebody with a "pair of cows" (boves) who used to plow "white fields" (alba pratalia) with a "white plow" (albo versorio), sowing a "black seed" (negro semen). This person is the writer himself, the monk whose business is to copy old manuscripts. The two cows are his fingers which draw a white pen (the white plow) across the page (the white fields). This document dates to the late 8th-early 9th century and was followed by a small thanksgiving prayer in Latin: gratia ...

Many more European documents seem to confirm that the distinctive traits of Romance languages occurred all around the same time (e.g. France's Serments de Strasburg). This may well be the earliest document in Italian, though the Placito Capuano, dating to 960 AD, is the one to give official status to the new language, being the first verdict of a judge ever spoken and recorded in an Italian court. Objections have been raised as to whether the Indovinello Veronese (which shows far more archaic traits) is really Italian, or, rather, late Latin: much obvious ...

A riddle is a form of word puzzle designed to test someone's ingenuity in arriving at its solution. Riddles have a distinguished literary ancestry, although the contemporary sort of conundrum that passes under the name of "riddle" may not make this obvious. Riddles occur extensively in Old English poetry, and also in the Old Norse literature of the Elder Edda and the skalds. The Exeter Book, a manuscript in Old English, preserves almost sixty versified riddles from the Old English literature. An example: ...

An explanation is a statement which points to causes, context and consequences of some object (or process, state of affairs etc.), together with rules or laws which link these to the object. Some of these elements of the explanation may be implicit. Explanations can only be given by those with understanding of the object which is explained. In scientific research, explanation is one of three purposes of research (other two being exploration and description). Explanation is the discovery and reporting of relationsh ...

The Great Sphinx is an international symbol of mystery and controversy. It is the one of the world's largest and oldest statues, yet basic facts about it are unknown, such as the real-life model for the face, when exactly it was built, and by whom. These mysteries have collectively earned the title "Riddle of the Sphinx", a nod to its Greek namesake, although this phrase should not be confused with the original Greek legend. ...

In order for Riddle to gain the power to possess Ginny, or whoever might be using the diary, that person must write to him. It appears they must write to him on a regular basis and for a long period of time before they can be possessed. Harry, who writes to Riddle only once, is, thus, not in any danger. It is interesting that Harry chooses not to write back to Riddle for more information, when he is clearly stumped about t ...

The phrase appears to have originated through World War II United States servicemen, who would draw the doodle and the text "Kilroy Was Here" on the walls or elsewhere they were stationed, encamped, etc. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable notes that it was particularly associated with the Air Transport Command, at least when observed in the UK. While the origins of the slogan are obscure, those of the cartoon are less so. It almost certainly originated as "Chad", in the UK before the war; a creation of the cartoonist Georg ...

Unknown to Harry and his friends, Tom Riddle grew up to become the evil Lord Voldemort. 50 years ago, he opened the Chamber of Secrets, and framed Hagrid for the attacks. Since it wasn't safe to open the Chamber again with Albus Dumbledore keeping an eye on him, Riddle created the diary, sealing a part of his sixteen-year-old self into it. Voldemort entrusted the dangerous book in the hands of Death Eater Lucius Malfoy,[HP6] who years later passed it to Ginny Weasley, by surreptitiously hiding it within her Transfiguration book, in order to discredit her father, A ...

In 1950, Riddle was hired by arranger Les Baxter to write arrangements for a recording session with Nat King Cole; this was one of Riddle's first associations with Capitol Records. Although one of the songs Riddle had arranged, "Mona Lisa," soon became the biggest selling single of Cole's career, the work was credited entirely to Baxter. However, once Cole learned the true identity of the arrangement's creator, he sought out Riddle's work for other sessions, and thus began a fruitful partnership ...

Embry-Riddle, founded 22 years after the flight of the Wright Brothers, was at first purely a flight school tasked with flight training and nothing more. Embry-Riddle gained university status in 1970, following a steady expansion of its flying programs. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks investigators thought that the school may have trained at least one of the aircraft hijackers. However, after a short investigation, ERAU was fully exonerated from any involvement in the flight training of the terrorists. Although a former student shared the same name as one of the hijackers, that fo ...

Grungers are not an organisation or other affiliation. Rather, they're a group of people connected by a common taste in music, clothes, shared interests, values, etc. Most are under 20, and in this was they can be compared to hippies or mods - however note the grungers are not similar in style to either of these earlier movements. Greebo is often used as an often derogatory synonym by people not involved with the culture: the original meaning of greebo stems from the bikers of the '70s and was used to describe particularly dirty bikers, though now i ...
