| gen. | I think I'll pass this one | спасибо, что-то нет желания ('If you are someone who turns their nose up at the variety of exotic cheeses found at your local supermarket, you certainly won't want to sample what archaeologists have dug up in the Saqqara necropolis near Cairo, Egypt recently.
The ancient blocks of cheese, which were found stored inside clay pots, are believed to be a type known as halloumi and date back 2,600 years to the 26th or 27th Egyptian dynasty... I wonder how sharp the flavor is or is it so dry that you can only grate it over your pasta.' 'I think I'll pass this one'  unexplained-mysteries.com) |

| lit. | The way the story is written, the bishop's character too seems to lack a keystone. One thinks of Gaudi, who designed what was intended to be the largest cathedral in the world, then deliberately put the pews so close together that the congregation would be prevented from crossing their legs. | Композиция рассказа такова, что епископ тоже представляется персонажем, лишённым, так сказать, краеугольного камня. Невольно вспоминается архитектор Гауди: замыслив построить грандиознейший в мире собор, он намеренно расположил ряды сидений в нём так тесно, чтобы никто из прихожан не смог положить ногу на ногу. (International Herald Tribune, 1975) |
