Anglo-Saxon riddles are so weird, man. like I just translated:

“A creature came stalking where many men, wise of mind, sat on a council; it had one eye and two ears, two feet and twelve hundred heads, a back and a belly, and two hands, arms and shoulders, and one neck and two sides.
Say what it is called.”

and then the textbook gives the answer in Latin, so of course I gotta translate that, and I find out the answer is a one-eyed garlic vendor

like just how high do you have to be to come up with these things

#the constant threat of viking invasion does things to your sense of humour apparently (via infinitymadeimaginable)

that is an extremely fresh joke
