A wild moonday eve. I lost by 50 points. Stayed up 'till midnight eating cookies and chocolate about it.
Managed to nip a nipple and give myself tracks whilst trimming chest hair. #moondaymadness
âHey, Tengo, do you know the difference between the English words âlunaticâ and âinsaneâ?â she asked. âTheyâre both adjectives describing mental abnormality. Iâm not quite sure how they differ.â â âInsaneâ probably means to have an innate mental problem, something that calls for professional treatment, while âlunaticâ means to have your sanity temporarily seized by the luna, which is âmoonâ in Latin. In nineteenth-century England, if you were a certified lunatic and you committed a crime, the severity of the crime would be reduced a notch. The idea was that the crime was not so much the responsibility of the person himself as that he was led astray by the moonlight. Believe it or not, laws like that actually existed. In other words, the fact that the moon can drive people crazy was actually recognized in law.
