    For those who played Astrologaster and were curious about the priest hole reference, here's an explanation. (They're also, but less commonly, called priest hides)

    1:49
    One of the most ingenious priest hides in England 😊 The design is so good it wasn’t rediscovered until 1894. For 200 years people were living at the hall and didn’t know it was there! We believe master carpenter Nicholas Owen installed the hide at the end of the 16th century!

    In Disney's Hercules (1997), after Herc and Meg ditch Phil to go on a date, they stroll through a statue garden. They talk a bit, things are awkward, Meg trips down the stairs, and Herc catches her before carrying her over to a bench. But it's much, much more than a bench! (1/9)

    'Napolean sends agents to rediscover a lost Egyptian porphyry quarry so he can make himself a ridiculous tomb to outshine the Roman emperors' is the best set-up for a D&D adventure I've ever heard, tbh.

    Centuries later Napoleon wanted to be buried in an Imperial Porphyry tomb, as a symbol that he was heir to the Roman Emperors. His officials searched for the lost Imperial quarry but were unable to find the source. He was instead buried in a tomb of much more common red porphyry.

    Am I the only one here who has very sensibly used this two months of quarantine to fulfill a boyhood ambition 40 years later and finally buy a chunk of Roman Imperial Porphyry, the coolest of all the stones? No? No-one? Just me then?
