I think that guy in the Finnish door video is the inspiration for the bobble head dolls.

CBC - you could always try to read Mont-St.-Michel and Chartres by Henry Adams.  It's in paperback and on Project Gutenberg.  I say try to read it because I've been dipping into it for literally years.  It has the Chanson de Roland in Old French, which I love to attempt to read aloud because Old French sounds fantastic, and never seem to get past that section. 

Who said I wasn't autistic?

 Old French, eh?  Does it sound very different from modern French?   :eiffel:

The way I read it it does.  A little less than the difference between modern and Old English.  It's funny to think of other languages having their Old versions to them.

The Nova  episode mentioned the cathedral at Chartres, France.  Chartres is pronounced "shart."   :rofl:
So you wouldn't want a croissant from Chartres CBC?  :zoinks:

   :indeed:   Why travel to shart when you can shart at home for free?

:agreed: If one must shart than "Home is where the shart is" may be the way to go.
