Holy Freudian Slip!

While typing out a little article I am working on, I meant to type 'Byzantine saints' but the second word came out 'giants.'

Given the vagueries of my typing, it might ahve been possible to take that as a simple mistake, except for the fact that giants (from the destructive monsters that challenged Zeus' cosmic rule in Hesiod) was Neoplatonic school slang for Christians.

I like you both, but I think the Lady of the House likes me best. I'm an edgy person, yet I never chose to be one.
