It Just Keeps Getting Better...
“Hi! It’s cuteness defined!” – Casey, greeting Charity, who is apparently cuteness defined.
“I gasp like a koi out of water!” – Casey

“Don’t say that, Laura! You’ll be the first to go!” – Casey (paraphrase)
Typos: the Laura Collection---The Things We Could Have Published...
"Human pride and willful disobedience will not go unpunished, as noted in the Background Information."
"It was a scandalous to think"
Leonardo da Vinci painting: "Virgin on the Rocks" ["of" would sound a lot less alcoholic, and would be correct]
Erasmus "giving fodder to Luther's fire for reformation"
"Decide as a group that validity must be measured in light of God's Word." [Can't give someone a command to "decide," definitely can't command a group opinion, and validity is the only part of argumentation that is not governed by its content, being a question stricly of the form.]
"We have highlighted key examples from our previous studies of the struggle people have had all through history to focus attention on the temptation to worldliness that is normal in our fallen world." [try diagramming that!]
"Their beliefs haven't changed mush." [reported by the boss herself]
Scholarly Renaissance plays "like the Greek plays (only with less good language)"
"Adulterers are not condemned to slavery" [in Utopia; actually they are]
"From a comgination of two World Book articles" [typo for “combination”]
Curricular Rhyme Week:
"dense with intensely meaningful events" [three times!]
"highlight God's amazing foresight, grace, and glory in this small part of the story" [this one scans, too]
alliteration is also good: "the church suffered several serious setbacks" [WB's fault, in all fairness]
Luther "caused a (hitherto) permanent split between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant churches."
"The eyes in one self portrait peer proufoundly" [for “profoundly”]
"even though we went through six wives" [actually "he"]
"Armenius" [and the Armenians! :-)]
"The greatest master of European sculpture in the 1600's was sculpture for the Tomb of Pope Gian Lorenzo Bernini of Italy. Bernini was a superlative craftsman and also an outstanding architect. His Alexander VII shows the wide range of his talent." [what the WB article said originally, before some really weird scrambling made the artist the pope: "The greatest master of European sculpture in the 1600's was Gian Lorenzo Bernini of Italy. Bernini was a superlative craftsman and also an outstanding architect. His sculpture for the Tomb of Pope Alexander VII shows the wide range of his talent."]
"Mary was a Roman Catholic queen who had been reared in France and freshly widowed." [is “fresh widow” anything like “fresh fish”?]
"This is also another week in which Catholics and Protestants are tightly divided."
"Excerpted from a combination of three World Book articles entitled Baroque, Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting."
"Many resources about Henry VIII explain or illustrate how he chopped off the heads of his wives and chief ministers. Additionally, they describe how he divorced and remarried numerous times. Our chosen resource, Brilliant Bits: Henry VIII, by Richard Brassey, provides a light-hearted look at these and other aspects of this king's life. However, flip through it to make sure that it is suitable for your student." [“Light-hearted”??? And how do you “illustrate” chopping off a head while remaining “suitable for your student”?]

Michelangelo is said to have memorized the entire Divina Comedia of Dante.
Charles V had an overgrown jaw so large that it was hard for him to chew.
Charles V was only twenty years old when he sat in judgment on Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms.
The Pieta owes much of its power and novelty to the fact that it is simple, almost plain, compared to the over-dramatic poses common in sculpture of the time (which sacrifice their realism).
Martin Luther invented the concept of congregational singing.
Katarina von Bora was the one who first proposed marriage in her relationship with Martin Luther.
The Rhine and the Rhone rivers rise 15 miles apart in the Swiss Alps and run in opposite directions.
Global warming would flood the Netherlands. (Of course, WB doesn't feel the need to note that they were flooded to start with!)
Some parents are cruel: for instance, those who would produce the names "Plantagenet Somerset Fry," "Deborah Mazzotta Prum," or "Charles Coffin" (to simply read across one row of authors named in the RACs).
Mary Queen of Scots had a full coronation ceremony when she was only nine months old, including miniature scarlet-and-ermine robes and a full-size ceremonial sword.
Elizabeth I enjoyed robust health.
Cortez, intrepid adventurer and ruthless warrior, survived all his battles only to die of dysentary.
Balboa, NOT Cortez "silent upon the peak of Darien," was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean.
Sir Isaac Newton was the posthumous son of a Lincolnshire farmer.

Due to low pressure systems coming in from the north and patches of rain hovering over the valleys to the east, expect a dry, cool day dense with intensely meaningful events
