Great post.

I would have only changed one word, theology to mythology, but that's my POV. If a writer did that they might incur all manner of blowback.

"only king in the world who ate himself to death" (that we know of)

It's possible the current royalty in the Whitehouse could OD on too many buckets of KFC in one sitting. Possible.

That pic of the dessert Semlars looked great, but 14? Similar to drowning oneself with a couple of buckets of water.
