Points of Comparison.

Well, if you ever wanted a handy point of comparison for the Lindisfarne Gospels, then now you know. How many other points of weight comparison did they have, and discard, before they settled on this one? A large baby, a possum?

I've not yet made it to the rather excellent sounding exhibition in Durham yet, but hope that the rest of the signage is as amusing and informative.  

As a side note, a link from looking at this informed me about Badgerland, something which will make any fan of the Museum of Everything laugh, and then feel very worried.
