Y'know, you would think, since the Wheel of Fortune was a popular image in the medieval world - painted in church murals, included in marginal illustrations in manuscripts, and generally used a good deal - that it would be a simple matter to find at least one of those images. You would think that you would even have few problems finding your preferred choice, which would include the labels of regnabo, regno, regnavi and sum sine regno at the appropriate points. You would think that when you have a whole library at your command, full of books, some of which are bound to have illustrations and plates included, you ought to have no trouble at all.

You would be wrong.

Looking at the responses generated by my desk grafitti, I feel disappointed. Rather than joining in the fun of (a) quoting song lyrics back at me or (b) guessing the songs and artists, they tell me that I'm "sad". *Sigh* I had hoped to bring something different to desk grafitti other than "Tick here if you're bored", "Fuck *insert object/person here*", "I wuz ere" and the sectarian bullshit that passes in this country for politics/culture. I had hoped that people in Queen's were not so scornful of someone having a bit of fun, that they might actually get the joke, or at least be interested. Meh. That'll teach me to have faith in humanity :P
