@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1845 - Picked up a copy of the first edition of Scientific American. A four-page weekly newspaper, mostly about new patents.
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1845 - One item in Scientific American I did enjoy was about Muzio Muzzi's airship.

@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1560 - I suggested to young Tycho Brahe that his interest in today's eclipse could make astronomy a worthwhile hobby.
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1560: Young Tycho Brahe was particularly fascinated that solar eclipses can be predicted. Astronomy as a science, wonderful!
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues Wikipedia notes that Tycho's astronomical studies were remarkably accurate and had a significant impact which remains today.

163rd Temporal Tuesday - 14 August
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1248, Cologne, Germany: Attended the start of the construction of Cologne Cathedral. It was finished in 1880, 632 years later.
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1248: If I had told the workers it will take 632 years to finish the Cathedral, they might have been discouraged. Rightly so.
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues Cologne Cathedral construction was in 2 phases: 1248-1473 and 1842-1880. A roof-top crane was abandoned on it for 400 years!

@Kate_Atwood: #TemporalTues A female F-Section SOE agent gives a post-war verbal punch to an overly-politicized Gaullist. #WWII Women Heroes of World War II
@Kate_Atwood: #TemporalTues Leader of a network in occupied France has some fun with a new agent "Expecting a man not a woman" #WWII Women Heroes of World War II

162nd Temporal Tuesday - 7 August
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues Struggling to understand how British folk coped with 4 changes of faith in 20 years during the Reformation period from 1549 AD
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues From 1549 AD, change from Roman Catholicism to Church of England to RC again to C of E again. Astonishing!
@vonHogflume: #TemporalTues 1540 AD - I wonder why Reformist protestants so opposed the use of images in Catholic worship. Was it idolatry? Exodus 20:4,5
************************************************************************************
@Captain_Zaphod: #TemporalTues Impatient as always, I traveled to early 2013, to see @ChastityBites I won't spoil it 'cept to say pre-order tix ASAP.
