No Turnip Sunday

I hate to break this to everybody, but my story from yesterday about the Romans and the eggs and rabbits was a joke, I'm afraid it was all a bit of tomfoolery for April the 1st. I made it up, completely.

Hard to believe I know, it seemed so real and well researched. Well I'm sorry. I hope you won't all be too embarrassed when you explain to everyone that the exciting new history facts you learned about the Romans are all false. So all I can do is wish you a happy Sunday and leave you with the word of the day.

defenestrate \dee-FEN-uh-strayt\, transitive verb:
To throw out of a window.

And if you're interested in knowing a little Czech history you can read about the Defenestrations of Prague. (And I promise it isn't about turnips)
