I've been reading Chaucer all day. I'm not going to work so that I can continue to read Chaucer. Oh, joy.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still enjoying Troilus and Criseyde, but you cannot skim Middle English. It just does not work. And I keep finding myself wanting to yell, "Troilus, grow a pair!" Which isn't to say that he's not a man and that men can't display their feelings, but really, he should stop fainting every time Criseyde looks at him.
Anyway. I thought this was interesting: The virgin birth of Komodo dragons.
