incidentally, Anna Bruegel (one of those no-disambiguation-required painters, a daughter of Pieter Bruegel the Elder) married a different painter referred to as [name] the Younger.
the Bruegel family sure had a lot of painters
turns out "Bruegel the Elder" and "Bruegel the Younger" are actually ambiguous. because there was a Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a Pieter Bruegel the Younger, a Jan Bruegel the Elder, and a Jan Bruegel the Younger. not counting all the other painters in the Bruegel family that aren't called "the Elder" or "the Younger"

i love the ubiquity and cheapness of bakeries here
you can get a kilo of french bread for the equivalent of like 3 US dollars. also there's bakeries every couple blocks
it is sometimes surprising which words with similar forms in germanic and romance languages are romance -> germanic borrowings versus germanic -> romance borrowings versus both separately inherited from PIE
the number of games that nintendo will sell you with "hentai" in the title is surprising to me

a notable shared trait between @aescling and @wallhackio is that they both really respond to manners in which i address them
