Now, that may just be the least confusing explanation I've come across.

Aha. The standart 'insert real content here' (http://www.lipsum.com/) text.

Oh, I'm quite aware of 'Lorem ipsum'.

I'm just rather amused that this filler is likely to be less confusing thatn any real explanation, as and when it appears.

I have to ask - were you specifically researching the Carnival of Basel, or just googling "Schnitzelbank"?
Or, indeed, googling "Lorem Ipsum"?

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

No.

Oh, OK. I started with today's Wikipedia front page. I went from that to Parliament of the United Kingdom, then clicked to Witenagemot, then searched on 'Thing' to get to Thing and disambiguated to Thing (assembly). I then searched on 'Canton' to get to Canton and disambiguated to Canton (subnational entity), and then again to Cantons of Switzerland. Then Basel-Stadt, and finally to Basler Fasnacht

I was actually rather surprised by the latter, since there was nothing there last time I looked a few months ago and I'd been thinking of starting a page.

BTW, on the way, I dropped in on 'Jurassic'. It's just as well you're not later, or you'd be Dogger rather than Lias. Now, that would be much trickier to explain to the family.

Hmm, I haven't used this userpic for simply ages.

I'm almost sorry I asked...

Mwahaha!
