How Curious....

Because, well, reasons, I was doing some random web searching. I think I started out looking for information on the Hussite Wars, as you do, and ended up on one of my periodic wanderings about that Internet place.

And what should I come across, but some strangely familiar text.

A website that seems to have something to do with fencing - though I was a bit baffled by the content - is currently using text lifted from my old website, with some unrelated photos added. Why they would want to do this I'm not sure - the University self-defence class kinda closed down nearly a decade ago, and in any case my 'about the class' article probably isn't all that relevant to whatever this site was supposed to be about. Likewise my syllabus was kinda unique, so I'm not sure why someone else who certainly isn't teaching it would want it on their website.

But then they do have articles like 'does fencing cause pimples' (yes, really, I did not make that up) and 'how to stay safe at a party'. Their advice includes the suggestion that you should learn a good self defence system, like fencing.

Clearly I go to the wrong parties....

Anyway, this is one of the stranger things I encountered in my wanderings. 'Are you ready for a duck?' (a well-intentioned and informative site for people thinking of getting a duck as a pet) pales by comparison.

How curious.....

    So this is where I rant, vent and peeve about stuff. What can possibly go wrong there?
