I think this is a key part of why historians are mad, yeah. Because it’s a dunk, and it’s one that like. We all know that scientists and engineers think themselves better and smarter than humanities students. There’s always an assumption that they could do our job but we couldn’t do theirs.

If you cut the roof off of Baba Yaga’s hut it can still run around for several minutes, but this is only a reflex action of the house’s nerves, not magic (as previously believed)
“It’s not pervert glasses, it’s a tiny fuzzy pervert you wear around your neck because you trapped him in a tiny pervert cage. It’s not weird. He likes the cage, if you know what I mean. Now come over here and let him have a good look at you.”

Sam and Frodo threaten the willow with fire, but Merry and Pippin scream; it has started to crush them. Then—a song? Downstream, behind them, they hear: ‘Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!’
It is the duty of the extremely online to send this to your friends, relatives, or colleagues who own portable generators.

After dinner, Frodo reveals that he’s leaving the Shire. The others reveal a surprise of their own: they’ve known all along! And, they’re going with him. Frodo objects. But Sam knows a further secret: ‘Gildor said you should take them as was willing, and you can’t deny it.’
It's so hard to make small talk when my two conversation topics are upsetting works of medieval mysticim and the 300yo shark that's full of pee.

Frodo reaches his new house in Crickhollow with Sam and Pippin. Merry and Fredegar are cooking while the other three clean up. ‘Sing hey! for the bath at close of day, that washes the weary mud away!’
