#QOTD - You go to put some peanut butter on something, say a sandwich or whatever.
You accidentally scoop out WAY too much peanut butter on your utensil.
Do you:
A) Only use what you need and scrape the unused peanut butter back into the jar?
or
B) Think "God's plan" and clean the excess off with your mouth, licking the utensil clean, even though you are a devout atheist?
In January 1417 Poggio Bracciolini discovered #DeRerumNatura (written by #Lucretius in the 1st century BC outlining #Epicureanism) in a German monastic library.
That copy was copied from an earlier 9th century text corrected by an Irish monk, #Dúngal.
Dúngal also wrote a book explaining to #Charlemagne how two solar eclipses could occur in the same year, and, incidentally, the structure of the #cosmos as he understood it.
