Why does my Italian-English dictionary think that I may need to translate "heroin" but not "seahorse"? That's making certain assumptions about my lifestyle that I don't feel a dictionary is qualified to make. Hmph.
Right now, I'm reading a book called The Third Heaven Conspiracy by Giulio Leoni. It's a cosy little mystery novel about murder and intrigue in the Church in fourteenth century Florence, and hot on the killer's trail is the sleuth... Dante. That's right: the poet Dante. Fantastic.
What random historical person do you think could have solved mysteries in their spare time? Personally, I'm waiting for Genghis Khan, PI.
