12:52a	Святая Троица. Неизвестный художник, XVIII в. Про диаграмму понятно, а вот про изображение с тремя лицами растолковывает Википедия: Even rarer is the depiction of the Trinity as a single anthropoid figure with three faces (Latin "Vultus Trifrons"), because the Trinity is defined as three persons in one Godhead, not one Person with three attributes (this would imply Modalism, which is defined as heresy in traditional Christian orthodoxy). Such "Cerberus" depictions of the Trinity as three faces on one head were mainly made among Catholics during the 15th to 17th centuries, but were condemned after the Catholic Council of Trent, and again by Pope Urban VIII in 1628, and many existing images were destroyed. Цербер в греческой мифологии — трехглавый пес, который охраняет выход из Аида. (2 Comments | Comment on this)
10:32p	Пизда и орхидеи Нашел вот такой список испанских слов с индоевропейскими корнями: Vocabulario indoeuropeo (sustantivos) Там утверждается, что слово pozo (колодец, скважина) родственно слову пизда, а útero (матка) — слову ведро. Остальное не такое уж неожиданное. Ну, пожалуй, еще родство orquídea и ёрзать, через корень, обозначающий яйца. И действительно: The genus name comes from the Ancient Greek ὄρχις (órkhis), literally meaning "testicle", because of the shape of the twin tubers in some species of Orchis. Speakers of Middle English in the 1300s came up with a phonologically different word—inspired by the same exact dirty thought. They called the flower ballockwort from ballocks, or testicles, which itself evolved from beallucas, the Old English word for balls. Правда, про слово ёрзать непонятно, откуда они это взяли.
