The day after April fools day. Who knew?

Apparently Google does.

Since Russell is most definitely a Scots name. I post the following
thematic conclusion with sincere apologies to the ghost Robbie Burns, for
misrepresenting the facts of his craftsmanship, through omission and
alteration of his historical words.

To a Louse, On Seeing One on a Lady's Bonnet at Church






*O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as Google see us! It wad
frae mony a blunder free us, An' foolish notion: What airs in dress an'
gait wad lea'e us, An' ev'n devotion!*
