It’s not quite a slab of granite,
but maybe Lefalcon will appreciate it nonetheless.
A woman with a bizarre fetish for inaninimate objects has revealed she has been married to the Berlin Wall for 29 years.
Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, 54, whose surname means Berlin Wall in German, wed the concrete structure in 1979 after being diagnosed with a condition called Objectum-Sexuality.
Mrs Berliner-Mauer, whose fetish is said to have its roots in childhood, claimed she fell in love with the structure when she first saw it on television when she was seven.

Muslim women’s dress
Our own Lefalcon examines the Quran and Hadith to find out how Muslim women are supposed to dress. He raises some interesting questions along the way; I came away from it thinking that the Quran sounds a lot like Immanuel Kant, at least as regards the place of rule-governed activity in ethical life. http://qfm2wge8hpjv.wordpress.com/

Oxford Etymologist
Here’s a blog on the Oxford University Press website. Linguist Anatoly Liberman takes on a variety of etymological questions. His post about the origin of words like “east” and “west” is particularly fun.
