Nope. He took an interest in Princess Anne of Denmark at one stage. Her response was that if she had two heads she would gladly marry him, but she couldn't afford to lose the only one she had.

Myriad is understood to mean 'a lot of' or a great number of something. Originally (up to about the mid 16th C) its meaning was much more precise, indicating a specific number, what was the number?

Correction: her name was Cristina, not Anne. "If I had two heads, one should be at the King's disposal. Alas, I have only the one!"
She married a Duke of Lorraine and is ancestor of all the Habsburg emperors/empresses/pretenders from Maria Theresa's son Joseph II down to 2020, (and including Joseph II's sister Marie Antoinette.)

In nature, what's fasciation? You may answer in pictures, if you so wish.

This is also still outstanding.

I did actually know this, the aul brain just wasn't co-operating! So I will throw in the answer, its when a flower, for example, grows a particular kind of distorted flower, like two or more flower heads squashed together with a kind of seam down the middle. Or it can be a squashed flat stem with lots of small stems growing out of it. There are lots of variations of it.

Yes, now you've got it - the way I see it is like Siamese twins (or triplets, etc) of the vegetable word (I'm sure that's the technical term for it).

It's become very common in Japan, after Fukushima.

That's scary.

You don't really see it all that often, but daisies seem to be affected quite a lot. They remind me of the Chrysalids mutant plants.

Ok I will come up with a question.

Gerberas, also. And asparagus.

Question:

The term 'frogging' is used in the USA (and a little bit here) to describe a particular activity (clue: craft related). What is it more usually called this side of the Atlantic, or what is the activity?

Flogging off badly-made craftwork to French people?

Yiz are all not really in the right direction at all, at all.

Wifey just took up knitting recently and has been listening to YouTube videos. “Frogging” is, I think, undoing some knitting you’ve already done to start over?
