What to Wear When Marrying Your Ideal Vitruvian Man

Was idly looking up Da Vinci and discovered the *second* result that pops up is Da Vinci Bridal; two concepts that I have to say have never collided for me.

...I can make cannon, mortars and strapless gowns light ordnance, of very beautiful and useful shapes, quite different from those in common use.....

Perhaps it's a coincidence - will have to check the "history" portion of the site and see if the bridal wear company was started by some other Da Vinci.

ETA - It in fact seems to be owned by one Emma DaVinci of Texas. Interestingly, the site itself mainly seems concerned that consumers might confuse the chain with Dave's Bridal.

Weekend In Progress

After a couple of weeks off, I'm back to work on the webcomic, sending off the latest ep this morning. The story had (to my mind) been treading water for a time, but I'm hoping it's starting to build up another head of steam, with evidence popping up for at least two (separate?) nefarious goings-on.

We just rewatched a documentary on Sherlock Holmes that I think came packaged with something else - the documentary itself has a few extras, of which the best is the full conversation the host had with Stephen Fry, as opposed to the few minutes they used. Fry once did a Holmes/Charles Dickens crossover fanfic (he had to fudge the timeline a bit), and also talks about how much he likes The Seven-Per-Cent Solution.
