Joyce's Ulysses in manuscript and "womanuscript"
Happy Bloomsday, everybody. These two images nicely bookend the history of James Joyce’s great Ulysses from original manuscript to a womanuscript of Molly Bloom’s climax. Yes!

Way to go Wordlabbers for convincing user jgnat to go with Plato’s Gnat for his new information management (IM) consultancy firm name: “As a follow-up, I took your advice. You are looking at the fresh Director of Plato’s Gnat Ltd. (www.platosgnat.com). You are right that the name generates curiosity and conversations. The reactions have been positive as I’ve explained the meaning behind the name.“
